Concrete Water Based Stain – Concrete Coatings – Living Earth

Living Earth™ Water-Based Stain is a safe, zero VOC, UV stable, water-based penetrating concrete stain.

Typical applications for Living Earth™ are cement-based floors, walls, ceilings, countertops, wall panels, and other architectural elements such as bare concrete, in both residential and commercial settings. When combining the 15 colors with varying dilution rates, a nearly limitless palate may be created.

The colors produced using Living Earth™ Water-Based Stain will rely heavily on skill, practice and experimentation. Each concrete slab will react differently. Application methods and age and porosity of the concrete will result in different tones or hues and, in the case of very old or porous concrete, the stain may have little or no reaction.

Test sections should be done to verify suitability and appearance prior to application. When using multiple bottles of stain of the same color, batch (mix) bottles of stain together.

Living Earth Primer (available at the bottom of the drop down menu when ordering) is a product that can be used on cement surfaces that are overly porous (broom finished concrete, concrete not steel troweled, etc.) or old and worn surfaces, and would otherwise not show much or any color from the stain. Primer covers 200-300 sq. ft. per gallon.  Primer Instruction Data Sheet (TDS) download here.

Very smooth (steel troweled, precast concrete, etc.) concrete may not allow the stain to penetrate well and you may need to lightly hone the surface prior to staining (shot-blasting, sanding @200 grit, or a surface prep wash using SCR (sold here)

Application instructions: please see the TDS sheet below.
