HydroStain Concrete Dye Concentrate — 8 oz Bottle (Makes 1 Gallon)

Technical Details & Application Guide

For more detailed information refer to: HYDROSTAIN TECHNICAL DATA SHEET (TDS)

Overview

HydroStain is a liquid dye concentrate that adds rich, vibrant color and a beautiful variegated, mottled look to new or existing interior concrete. It delivers professional-grade color consistency and coverage while maintaining the natural texture of concrete surfaces. HydroStain is ideal for decorative interior floors, restaurants, retail environments, and residential spaces.

For a complete finish, HydroStain should be sealed with two coats of HydroSeal or a comparable clear sealer to encapsulate and enhance the color.

Benefits

• Deep-penetrating dye for long-lasting, even coloration
• Available in 15 colors
• Fast drying when diluted with acetone
• Excellent color control when diluted with water
• Easy to mix, apply, and layer for custom effects
• Compatible with HydroSeal clear sealer for maximum protection

Preparation & Application

• Surface Prep: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of dust, sealers, and contaminants.
• Mixing: Dilute one 8 oz. bottle of HydroStain concentrate to 1 gallon total volume with water or acetone. Mix thoroughly — no dwell time required.
• Application: Use a pump-up sprayer with a conical tip for even coverage. Maintain pressure to avoid lap lines. Apply in uniform or random patterns to achieve the desired look.
• Allow the stained surface to dry completely before sealing with HydroSeal.

Limitations & Safety

• Interior use only
• Mask off surrounding areas — overspray will stain most materials
• Provide ventilation when using acetone dilution
• Do not allow stain to dry on the surface before it absorbs
• First Aid: Flush eyes or skin with water for 15 minutes; move to fresh air if inhaled

Storage & Maintenance

• Store in a cool, dry area, tightly sealed
• Keep away from ignition sources when using acetone
• Clean tools and equipment with water immediately after use
• Maintain sealed floors with a pH-neutral cleaner and avoid harsh chemicals
