Hydra-TINT, the first in the Enviro-Sound line of green products by Alabama Pigments Company. It is a safe alternative to common acid stains. It contains no hazardous components, yet produces the mottled, variegated look associated with chemical (acid) stains used in decorative concrete. NO safety equipment is required and no special spiked shoes. Rubber gloves may be worn to prevent the color from staining cuticles, and it is always recommended to wear goggles when using a sprayer. The greatest advantage Hydra-TINT has over the competition is that the color is “built-up” with no need to wait for a chemical reaction to take place. No “surprises” await when returning to the jobsite to check on the color development. The technician never leaves the jobsite, unless it is for a couple of hours while the Hydra-TINT completely dries before the application of clear sealer. There is NO neutralizing of the surface to have to do; NO ammonia water, NO double or triple rinsing, NO additional drying time. A Hydra-TINT job can be completed in a matter of hours, not days. Hydra-TINT has proven long lasting without the application of a clear sealer, but a clear sealer will enhance the beauty and durabilty of the finished surface. Water-based or solvent-based sealers may be used. Just allow for drying of the Hydra-TINT before application of sealer.
• One gallon covers approximately 200-300 Sq. Ft. per coat depending on porosity of concrete. Mixing Ratio: Ready to use can be diluted further with water to get lighter hues of color.
• Can be sprayed, squirted, mopped, painted or rolled. May be applied full strength or diluted with water to get lighter hue of color.
• Multiple colors can be combined for artistic effects.
• Color is built-up and may require multiple applications to achieve desired intensity. A minimum of two coats is recommended.
• Product must be sealed! Seal immediately when dry to lock in color permanently.
• Concrete should be allowed to cure for minimum of 14 days before applying Hydra-Tint. In cooler climates curing time could require 21 days or more.
• Always test on slab to assure proper penetration. On slick finished slabs etching may be required to open up pours to allow for penetration. APC Precision Clean & Etch is preferred as muratic acid can leave a yellowing of the surface and could damage the surface cement.
