Kemiko Stone Tone Concrete Stains
Description
KEMIKO Stone Tone Concrete Stain is an acid base, single component product that provides a decorative, low maintenance floor finish, and is 0-VOC. Kemiko Stone Tone Stain contains special wetting agents, which chemically combines metallic ions with the particles in the concrete to form coloured oxides. Stone Tone Stain transforms an ordinary concrete slab into a luxurious floor at a fraction of the cost as compared to marble or glazed stone.
Applications
KEMIKO Stone Tone Stain is applied to properly prepared and thoroughly cleaned concrete and cement/plaster materials that contain sufficient cement material necessary for a colour reaction. Typical applications include driveways, patios, walkways, entrances, dining areas, rockwork, and many other interior / exterior applications that desire a quality cost-effective colour enhanced floor appearance.
KEMIKO Stone Tone Stain reacts with minerals already present in the concrete, giving the look and feel of natural stone. Each concrete slab accepts the stain in varying degrees of intensity, creating stunning, multi-hued colour variations and an uneven surface that looks perfectly aged. Whether working with a neo-classic, Southwestern, eclectic, or strictly traditional décor, Stone Tone Stain adapts to enhance any setting.

Surface Preparation
Concrete - If the concrete is in good condition, has never been treated (with integral or surface treatments such as a curing agent), is clean and free of any deleterious matter, and has cured to a uniform light colour - free from all dark moisture and alkali spotting, no preliminary treatments are necessary. Just sweep clean and protect adjacent areas not receiving stain application. Do not acid etch surface whatsoever! If the stain does not take, the surface is still dirty, is sealed, or is too heavily aged to have reactive materials available for staining process. Additional cleaning, stripping of the sealer, or sanding would be required.
Application Methods
Dilute the stain with an equal part of water. If using a sprayer, spray stain evenly and
continuously over surface, but do not puddle the stain. If a puddle should occur, do not attempt to correct it. When first
application of stain is dry, apply second application in same manner as first. When applying second application, if colour
shows considerably lighter on certain areas when wet with stain, apply additional stain to light area. Again do not attempt to
correct any puddles that may occur. If using brush, apply stain liberally and quickly to area, which a brush full of stain
can cover. Rotate brush gently in a circular motion, keeping it in contact with the surface to avoid spatters and runs. Keep
stain container on concrete, but close to work surface to prevent dripping. Stain will foam for a few seconds as it reacts
with the concrete. As foaming takes place, continue expanding area very slightly to outer edges. When foaming stops, do not
spread stain to uncoloured section. Use a fresh brush full of material to stain uncoated surface, working well back into
completed section to avoid lap marks. Maintain a wet edge throughout the procedure. Do not track stain onto pavement, which
is to remain uncoloured. Do not use metal containers!
Note: Allow applications of stain to dry before removing residue. Test the uniformity and depth of colour by
wetting the surface in several places with a wet cloth. If colour is not sufficiently deep or uniform, apply a third
application of stain. In warmer weather, apply stain early in the morning when concrete is coolest. There will be powdery
residue formed from the reaction of Stone Tone Stain on the concrete. This must be removed after final application of stain
has completely dried. Flush area with clean fresh water (do not use soap) and scrub with a stiff bristle brush. Remove water
by mopping, vacuuming or use of squeegee. The rinse water may contain acid residue and have the capacity to stain; special
care must be taken around foliage and any surface which does not require staining process. ALL ACID STAIN RESIDUES
MUST BE REMOVED PRIOR TO SEALING!
Safety - CAUTION! CONTAINS ACID AND CHROMIC IONS. HIGHLY CORROSIVE! Use safety goggles, rubber gloves and
protective clothing.
