Concrete Coatings Inc. has introduced an alkali reactive stain called GemStain. Developed as an alternative to acid stain, GemStain gives concrete an aged mottled look without the use of acid. The stain has an accelerated reaction with concrete that creates a deep and brilliant color. It’s available in 10 standard colors. Training for GemStain is held at distributor locations and at CCI Headquarters.
Concrete Coatings has also added a powder dye called QuickDye to its product offerings. Developed for use as a touch-up to acid stain or as a standalone product, QuickDye leaves a look similar to Concrete Coatings’ acid stain and GemStain. When added to acetone, QuickDye allows quick color application. It’s available in 11 standard colors that can be combined to create almost unlimited color variations.
Last but not least, Concrete Coatings has released AquaShield, a 100 percent solids water-based epoxy designed to be used as a primer or topcoat. AquaShield was developed to have a longer pot life than standard epoxy — approximately two hours. Applied with a roller, AquaShield is available clear or pigmented in five standard colors.
