Description
Semi-Transparent Color Additives, Dyes, Stains and Tints help contractors adjust or restore color on concrete, pavers, stamped concrete, and compatible water-based sealer systems.
Product performance overview
Color additives and tints should be evaluated against the base material, existing color, porosity, compatible carrier or coating, batch consistency, and the sealed final appearance. Samples and screen colors are starting points, not guarantees of an installed match.
What this product is designed to deliver
- Semi-transparent and translucent color options
- Can be blended to create custom tones
- Available color families include red, brown, black, white, and yellow
- Useful for restoring or adjusting compatible water-based systems
Where it performs best
Faded paver color restoration, concrete tinting, stamped-concrete color adjustment, and custom color blending.
Measure before ordering
Coverage and color intensity depend on the amount added, surface porosity, base color, and selected sealer.
Open the Coverage CalculatorBuild the application around product requirements
Prepare a representative test area, measure the mix precisely, document the ratio and batch, apply with the intended field method, inspect after drying and sealing, and reproduce the approved process across the full project.
Application overview
- Prepare a sample panel using the actual substrate and sealer system.
- Measure the additive carefully and mix thoroughly.
- Avoid over-tinting, which can cause float, streaking, or uneven color.
- Apply the final system only after the test panel dries and the color is approved.
Technical noteSurface compatibility, weather, moisture, dilution, mixing, dwell time, and cure requirements vary by product. Read the current label and SDS, test a small area, and follow the product-specific technical directions before full application.
Frequently asked questions
Can I mix colors?
The current product information indicates that colors can be blended. Test the blend in the selected sealer before applying it to the project.
How much tint should I add?
The amount depends on the desired intensity and the base sealer. Start conservatively, measure every batch, and follow the product guidance.
Can I add it to any sealer?
Compatibility depends on the additive and sealer chemistry. Confirm the selected system supports the color additive and perform a test panel.
