IN-STONE

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
IN-STONE is a water-based, modified acrylic designed to penetrate porous vertical concrete and masonry surfaces. This penetrating, semitransparent stain adds color to substrates such as standard or split-faced concrete block, pavers, cast-in-place concrete, or other concrete and masonry surfaces. It possesses excellent color stability, ultraviolet resistance, alkaline and pollution resistance. IN-STONE is integrally locked into the substrate as a result of its low viscosity and microscopic penetration properties, thus preserving the existing detail on decorative textures. IN-STONE will not crack or peel when properly applied.

SURFACE PREPARATION
Surfaces must be sound, clean and free of all dirt, oil, grease and efflorescence. Test the surface to be stained by wetting it. Non-porous or smooth-trowelled concrete surfaces that do not readily absorb water pose potential problems and must be sandblasted or acid-etched prior to application of IN-STONE.

BASIC USES
IN-STONE provides a decorative color finish to vertical surfaces such as standard or split-faced concrete block, pavers, cast concrete, or other porous concrete or masonry substrates. Since it does not interfere with the natural water migration qualities of these surfaces, IN-STONE is also effective for use on retaining walls. It will not allow hydrostatic pressure build-up to occur, which can result in peeling and surface spalling with film-forming materials.

COLORS
IN-STONE is supplied as a clear base, which can be easily tinted to produce a variety of colors. IN-STONE provides a semitransparent finish, allowing decorative surface textures as well as certain background aggregate colors to remain visible, while uniformly toning the substrate.

IN-STONE is supplied as a clear base, which is tinted by the local distributor or supplier using standard exterior colorants. IN-STONE is semitransparent, therefore the finish color will be affected by the color of the masonry being treated. Application of IN-STONE will not repair or correct cracked, chipped or otherwise damaged surfaces. IN-STONE is a low viscosity material designed to provide color toning without disturbing the natural texture of the substrate. It is not designed to provide waterproofing over concrete or masonry substrates.

PACKAGING & MIXING
IN-STONE is packaged in 1-gallon (3.8 liter) cans and 5-gallon (19 liter) pails. Upon extended storage, some settling may occur. Stir as necessary using an upward motion from the bottom of the can to thoroughly blend the contents.
