 Perma-Cast® Sierra
Stain™
Perma-Cast® Sierra Stain™ is a penetrating reactive stain
that chemically combines with cured concrete to produce permanent variegated coloring effects.
Perma-Cast® Sierra Stain™ is perfect for exterior hardscapes artificial
rock formations, interior floors, walls, statuaries and countertops.
Because there are so many variables involved in the chemical reaction
process i.e. the age, porosity, texture, and color of the concrete
substrate each application of Perma-Cast® Sierra Stain™ produces
unique results.
Different application techniques produce different finishes. Spraying
with an all-plastic pump-up sprayer is a common method that produces a "mottled" effect.
Puddling the stain will produce darker shades. Moping with a clean 100% cotton
mop and/or clean cotton rags produce "swirling" effects. Sponging produces
yet another finish. All application equipment and tools must be
acid resistant.
Wide color variations, mottling, and uneveness of the color is
normal and usually desired. If these coloring effects are not desired,
Perma-Cast® Sierra
Stain™ should not be used. When a more uniformly colored concrete is desired for new
concrete installations, Butterfield Color® Elements™ Transparent Concrete Stain,
Uni-Mix® Integral Color or Perma-Cast® Shake-on Color Hardener
should be specified.
