| New concrete stain from Eco Safety  Eco Safety Products has added a new concrete stain using bio-based building materials and technology. Eco Safety Products is launching Eco ProCote Natural Soy Penetrating Concrete Stain, its line of environmentally safe semi-transparent architectural concrete stains made from bio-based soy esters. The product was developed to meet several federally imposed initiatives while outperforming conventional staining products used for porous vertical and horizontal surface applications. The Eco ProCote is a bio-based non-toxic, low VOC, low odor permanent concrete stain.It utilizes a proprietary chemical technology that incorporates soy esters and special colorants that create decorative semi-transparent color variations and tones unique to each surface. The product allows penetration and colorization that integrates into porous substrate surfaces enabling designs that can simulate the look of natural stone surfaces. ECO ProCote provides an appearance similar to acid staining, but with more consistency and without the toxicity. Earlier versions of soy stains did not have a mechanism for sealing and bonding, which led to a short life span. The Eco ProCote formulation allows proper penetration and a sealing process where users won't have to worry about premature drying or frustrating lap marks associated with these types of staining products. Eco ProCote may be used for commercial floors, tilt up concrete, garage floors, walkways, patio's, block walls, stucco, clay, rammed earth and more. A sealer coat is required to complete the stain installation and provides a penetrating lock-in protective seal. The finish seal coat is available in a satin or gloss finish. The combined penetrating stain and seal formula features better weather protection than conventional coatings and helps protect against marring, stains and efflorescence. The product also promotes spread rates at 400 – 600 square feet per gallon. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Construction News :: home page |
