Professional-Grade Water-Based Concrete Stain

The SureCrete Water-Based Concrete Stain (Eco-Stain) offers a safe, non-acid alternative for creating rich, semi-transparent color effects on concrete surfaces. Unlike reactive acid stains, Eco-Stain contains no harmful chemicals and provides instant color development without the long waiting time.

It’s ideal for both interior and exterior projects — including floors, countertops, patios, walls, and walkways — delivering consistent, UV-stable color that resists fading and discoloration.

Available Sizes

4 oz Sample Size – Ready to use. Pre-diluted for testing color and application.

32 oz Concentrate – Dilute 1 part concentrate with 3 parts water to make 1 gallon of ready-to-use stain.

Advantages of Eco-Stain

Water-based and eco-friendly formulation — no rinsing, no neutralizing, no residue.
Compatible with overlays, vertical surfaces, and precast concrete.
Available in 30 vibrant colors, easily mixable and dilutable for custom shades.
Penetrating formula that bonds deep into cementitious surfaces for long-lasting results.
No black spotting or uneven color in humid environments.

Surface Preparation and Application

For best adhesion, clean the concrete using SureCrete SCR (Super Concrete Renovator) before staining. Avoid any curing agents or sealers that may block porosity.

Note: Some substrates are excessively porous — such as old concrete, broom-finished slabs, or poorly finished surfaces that were not closed with a steel trowel. These may absorb Eco-Stain so deeply that little color remains visible on the surface.

In these cases, applying EcoPrime is required to reduce porosity and ensure proper color development.

Apply Eco-Stain with a pump-up sprayer, brush, roller, or sponge**, depending on the desired finish. Multiple coats may be layered for greater depth. Each coat dries quickly — no rinsing required.

Coverage: Up to 200 sq. ft. per gallon (depending on dilution).

Dilution: Mix 1 part concentrate with 3 parts water to make one gallon of stain.

Sealing and Maintenance

After the surface dries, protect the stain with a Dura-Kote sealer for interiors or SureSeal Solvent/Hi-Gloss WB for exteriors. Allow 24 hours before foot traffic and 72 hours for vehicles. Proper sealing ensures long-term durability and color retention.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How is Eco-Stain different from acid stains?

A: Unlike acid stains, Eco-Stain is non-reactive and UV-stable, providing predictable results without etching or neutralization.

Q: Can Eco-Stain mimic the look of acid stain?

A: Yes, by layering or diluting multiple colors, you can achieve natural, mottled finishes similar to reactive stains.

Q: Why does my stain fade over time?

A: Most fading results from UV exposure or neglected sealers. Reapply sealer periodically for maximum protection.

Q: What’s the drying time before sealing?

A: Once dry to the touch — typically within 1–2 hours, depending on temperature and humidity.
