What is acid staining?
Acid staining is a pemanent coloration process where a low acid based solution combined with natural metallic salts react with the lime present in the concrete.Where as paint is just a coating for concrete and will chip and fade, acid stain colors are produced by a chemical reaction in the concrete resulting in a permanent coloring of the concrete surface that will not chip or fade.

Acid staining is a permanent coloration process where a low acid based solution combined with natural metallic salts reacts with the lime present in the concrete. Unlike paint, these stains chemical reaction with the concrete is permanent and will not peel off. Like stains for wood, acid-based stains are translucent and the color they produce will vary depending on the color and condition of the substrate they are applied to. Each concrete slab will accept the stain in varying degrees of intensity, creating natural color variations that bring character and distinction to each project. Colors vary in an array of earth tones, such as tans, browns, terra cottas, and soft blue-greens.
