Formula One Concrete Stain

Liquid Concrete Dye Concentrate

A penetrating, translucent dye concentrate designed to color interior concrete surfaces prior to being sealed, densified, or polished. SCOFIELD Formula One Liquid Concrete Dye is a solvent-soluble dye for coloring interior concrete surfaces. Designed for easy job-site dilution with acetone, the diluted material will penetrate into the pores of properly prepared new or old concrete. It can be applied lightly to gently tone surfaces or applied heavily to develop deep colors. Variations in application technique and topcoat selection can produce color effects that range from rich paint-like jewel tones to light variegated natural effects. SCOFIELD Formula One Liquid Concrete Dye is not designed as a stand-alone floor finish. After application, it must be locked into the concrete with a premium concrete densifier prior to polishing, or sealed with a protective coating.

Features & Benefits:

• Quick-dry formula minimizes job delays.
• VOC exempt carrier allows for immediate dilution in acetone or alcohol blend.
• Resistant to color bleed from water-based sealers & topcoats.
• Small packaged concentrate for easy storage.

Use SCOFIELD Formula One Liquid Concrete Dye to create the colored ground and polished concrete floors, or dyed and sealed concrete floors. Use to color to interior new or old concrete, overlay, or other cementitious surfaces where moisture is not expected. Ideal for floors, walls, ramps, countertops, and other concrete objects that will be polished or coated with clear protective sealers.

Coverage Rates: Coverage will vary depending on the porosity and texture of the surface, surface preparation, and application technique. The typical coverage rate is 300–600 ft2 per diluted gallon (7.0–15 m2/L). Additional coats will increase the color and opacity.

Because the dye is translucent, the final color produced is unique to each surface and will be influenced by surface composition. If surfaces are ground, dyes do not color most aggregates and stone as effectively as surrounding mortar. Final color depth will depend upon the type of sealer selected. Colors shown on the chart are results from application to smooth troweled concrete made with gray cement, dry ground to remove surface paste, dyed, densified, polished and sealed.
