• Applying Perma Pro Acid Stain on Concrete Information presented herein has been obtained from various industrial sources and is of a guiding nature. Please follow the using instructions of your supplier while applying PERMAPRO Acid Stain. • Where can I apply Perma Pro Acid Stain?
Perma Pro Acid Stain can be applied to any concrete or polymer coating and on most of the indoors and outdoors surfaces and to certain cement based self-finishing products such as benches and walls. • Preparing the surface
All the surfaces should be cleaned and prepared before Perma Pro Acid Stain is applied. • Outdoors Surfaces Concrete should be upgraded for at least 28 days. Never ever wash with acid before applying Perma Pro Acid Stain! Materials such as upgrading materials, glue, protective materials, lacquer, coat, Grease, dirt, water isolation materials etc. that have smeared on the surface and all kinds of materials that will prevent Perma Pro Stain from penetrating into the surface must be scratched. There are several stages for cleaning a surface at an outdoors area. The surface has to be freed from oil; being a good cleaner and oil remover, TSP (Tri Sodium Phosphate) can also be used as a detergent. Rinse the surface thoroughly following the oil removal procedures and control water absorption; if you notice water drops in some regions, repeat the application as many times as is required. When you are done with the oil removal process, apply pressured washing and cleaning with mechanical tools. After the surface has been thoroughly cleaned and the oil has been removed, leave it to dry and then, move on to the Perma Pro Acid Stain application. • Indoors Areas The concrete should be upgraded for at least 28 days. Never ever wash with acid before applying Perma Pro Acid Stain. Materials such as upgrading materials, glue, protective materials, lacquer, coat, Grease, dirt, water isolation materials etc. that have smeared on the surface and all kinds of materials that will prevent Perma Pro Stain from penetrating into the surface must be scratched. Remove oil from the surface and control water absorption; forming of water drops in some areas points to the existance of a polluter and this application should be repeated until the water has been absorbed by the concrete. While cleaning and rinsing an indoors surface, use a vacuum cleaner that operates with water to prevent water from overflowing and staining neighboring surfaces. After the oil removal procedure has been completed, clean the surface by way of spraying, if possible, through mechanical methods such as polishing, sandpapering or with a surface cleaner. Rinse it once more to get rid of the dust and the dirt, protect all the walls and the objects you would like to protect with an adhesive tape or paper and then move on to the Perma Pro Acid application • Cutting with a saw You can add a new dimension to Perma Pro Acid Stain by scratching dents; such lines will form natural barriers between the colors; thus helping you create more brilliant designs. Use a 10 cm or 17 cm saw with diamond dents. Define your lines with chalk beforehand and pay attention not to cut the corners too much and not tos kip lines while reaching a depth of an average of 6 mm during the cutting procedure. There are companies producing saws only for this purpose and you can obtain smoother lines in a much shorter period using such saws. • Patterned designs
Special designs can be created using patterns and sand spraying technique. This technique is a little difficult but yields wonderful results. Please contact your supplier for the correct application method and the necessary training. • Application You will need brushes and sprayers of different sizes for the Perma Pro Acid Stain application. 1 liter sized spray bottles and pump sprayers of 1-2 gallons will suffice; use materials that do not contain metals. Shake the can before using and fill the sprayers. Apply the material randomly making sure that all the area has been wetted and then feed the Perma Pro Acid Stain to the concrete in circular movements to get a random appearance by moving onto the brush immediately; different levels of foaming will occur in different areas and the color might not appear immediately. Don’t forget that this is a chemical reaction and that some colors react later than others. Apply this procedure precisely to the whole area. Leave Perma Pro Acid Stain to dry and then apply the second layer with the same method. • Neutralization and Rinsing After Perma Pro Acid Stain has dried, the surface should be neutralized and rubbed. Apply water and sodium bicarbonate to the surface using a brush of medium hardness; gently brush the whole area and rinse it with clean water. Protect neighboring areas from overflows and leave it to dry completely before applying protective lacquer. • Lacquering and Polishing
After the surface has completely dried up, apply two layers of colorless lacquer that does not turn yellow. Contact your supplier for different types of lacquer used in outdoors and indoors areas and the method of application thereof.
