Product Name: Solid Color Concrete Stain

Product Description

A durable, water repellent, solid color stain designed to help protect and enhance both exterior and interior, vertical and horizontal concrete surfaces. This Siliconized Acrylic formula was created with high-performance, 100% acrylic resins, that form a strong long-lasting, opaque film on properly prepared surfaces. 


Tintable Bases 
- White Base No. 800 - MSDS 
- Deep Base No. 830 - MSDS 

CAUTION: Stained surfaces may become slippery when wet. Use caution when walking on surface when moisture is present. Apply in sections so wet material does not have to be walked on during application. Use BEHR NO. 970 NON-SKID FLOOR FINISH ADDITIVE to help prevent slipping. 
Where To Use 
Exterior or interior properly prepared walls, basements, patios, sidewalks, driveways*, garage floors*, pool/cool decks**, tennis courts, cement blocks, pillars and brick. Not for use on surfaces subject to hydrostatic pressure. To test for hydrostatic pressure, randomly tape 12" x 12" sheets of clear plastic to the floor; if moisture forms underneath the plastic within 24 hours, hydrostatic pressure exists and this product should not be used.
*Driveways and Garage Floors - The composition of concrete varies; therefore, the lack of proper surface preparation and/or over application can lead to automobile tires lifting the product from the surface. Following all precautionary statements does not eliminate the possibility of maintenance re-coating due to "hot tire pick-up." 
**Cool Decks - Light and pastel colored concrete stains may be used over cool deck surfaces. Dark colors retain heat therefore they are not recommended. 
Preparation*** 
(The following steps are recommended for best results) 
Proper surface preparation is essential for penetration of the stain.
Surface must be clean and porous prior to staining.
Smooth concrete surfaces must be properly etched. Follow etching instructions under "New Concrete."
New Concrete: 
Must cure for a minimum of 30 days.
Remove all dirt, grease and oil with BEHR NO. 990 CONCRETE CLEANER & DEGREASER. Follow all label instructions.
Remove mildew stains with BEHR® NO. 62 MULTI-SURFACE CLEANER & MILDEW STAIN REMOVER. Follow all label instructions.
For proper penetration and adhesion to smooth, dense concrete, use BEHR NO. 991 CONCRETE ETCHER & RUST REMOVER. Follow all label instructions.
Wear appropriate eye, skin and apparel protection when applying etching solution. Protect plants and other surfaces from splashing.
Tip: Use a plastic watering can to apply the etcher.
Working in small sections, apply solution into surface with a stiff bristle broom. On sloped surfaces, work from the lowest point to the highest.
Allow etching solution to remain on surface for 5 to 10 minutes. Keep area wet before and during etching. Scrub while rinsing thoroughly with clean water and allow to dry.
Tip: A pressure washer may be used for best results.
Test the surface by applying duct tape to the etched areas and pull back up. The tape must be clean and free of any concrete dust or dirt. If particles or a white residue are still present, it must be removed with additional scrubbing and rinsing with BEHR NO. 990 CONCRETE CLEANER & DEGREASER. Check the surface for water penetration by applying a few drops of water. Water should penetrate the surface.
For best results, apply BEHR NO. 880 CONCRETE BONDING PRIMER. Follow all label instructions.
Allow Concrete Bonding Primer to dry at least 8 hours before topcoating.
Aged, Uncoated Concrete: 
Remove all dirt, grease and oil with BEHR NO. 990 CONCRETE CLEANER & DEGREASER. Follow all label instructions. Rinse thoroughly with water and allow to dry.
Remove mildew stains with BEHR® NO. 62 MULTI-SURFACE CLEANER & MILDEW STAIN REMOVER. Follow all label instructions.
Spot etch uncoated concrete using BEHR NO. 991 CONCRETE ETCHER & RUST REMOVER. Follow all label instructions.
Spot prime uncoated concrete using BEHR NO. 880 CONCRETE BONDING PRIMER. Follow all label instructions.
Painted, Stained or Sealed Concrete: 
Use over existing coatings may not provide optimal performance.
De-gloss old coating to promote adhesion.
Remove any loose or peeling paint by scraping, wire brushing or grinding.
For best results, follow all steps under "New Concrete" for etching and priming instructions.
Application 
DO NOT THIN.
Allow all concrete surfaces to dry completely before applying stain. Stain will not adhere or penetrate on a wet surface.
When working with more than one container of the same color, intermix to ensure color uniformity. 
Stir stain before and occasionally during application.
Use product when surface and air temperature is between 50-90ºF (10-32ºC).
Avoid applying stain in direct sunlight or to "hot" surfaces.
Apply a thin even coat using a 1/4"-3/8" nap roller cover or nylon polyester brush.
Apply at a spread rate of 400-600 square feet (37-56 m²) per gallon.
If the concrete is broken into sections, apply stain in sections for ease of application.
Smooth out stain with long even strokes in one direction.
Concrete varies in porosity therefore two coats may be required for uniform color appearance. Wait 24 hours before determining to apply a second coat. If a second coat is needed, apply in the opposite direction from the first coat.
Note: Horizontal surfaces may be subject to premature wear therefore periodic touch-ups may be necessary. Retain any leftover stain for this purpose.
Dry Time 
Allow 24 hours before recoating or subjecting to light foot traffic.
Allow 72 hours before subjecting stained surface to automobile tires. Park tires on corrugated cardboard for 14 days after applying stain.
Allow all newly stained surfaces to dry for 72 hours before repositioning objects such as planter boxes and furniture.
Additional dry time is needed in cooler temperatures and higher humidity.
Clean Up 
Use soap and water.
After two weeks, dry stained surface may be cleaned with a mild, non-abrasive liquid detergent.
Properly dispose of all soiled rags and protect unused product from freezing.
