FX NANO SEMI-TRANSPARENT STAIN

FX Nano Semi-Transparent Water Base Decorative Stain is a great alternative to acid staining. Since no chemical reaction is taking place, there is no extended waiting time for color penetration and no need to neutralize. The penetrative reaction of the stain preserves and protects against wear and exposure when sealed. FX Nano is simple to use and requires low maintenance. It is UV stable and has zero VOC. This advanced formula allows color to reach its full potential almost immediately upon application. Color may be built up without the worry of damaging the concrete like an acid stain does. Numerous coats can be applied instantly so
there is no need to apply them for an extended period of time. All colors may be used on interior and exterior surfaces in a wide range of environments. Multiple colors can be used to achieve a custom look. Apply a Classic Sealer over the stain to make it pop and give it a more vibrant finish. It is highly recommended to test a sample area first. Surface is slippery when wet. New concrete must cure for 28 days before the stain can be applied.

ADVANTAGES:

• Protects and preserves the effect against
  wear and exposure when sealed.
• Multiple colors can be used to achieve a
  custom look.
• Semi-transparent with highs and lows.
• Can be used on interior and exterior surfaces.
• UV stable and Zero VOC.
• Easy to use, low cost, and low maintenance.
• Technical support available: (951) 279-2600.

LIMITATIONS:

• If a uniform color is desired, Classic CDC
  line is recommended.
• Not for use on self-leveling cement or light
  weight concrete. We recommend Classic FX2,
  Acid Stain, or Nano-Infused Dye.
• Must be installed over a clean dry surface. Surface
  should feel like it is under 100 grit sandpaper.
• Moisture & efflorescence must be removed with
  Classic Densifier for a clean dry surface.
• Clean surfaces with Super Eco-Etch, power wash &
  rinsed well. Not recommended for use on polished
  or hard troweled, smooth finish concrete.
• Never apply adhesives over stained or sealed
  surfaces. May cause damage.

TYPICAL USAGE:

Classic FX Nano Stain can be used anywhere architectural concrete is desired. Both interior and exterior, on almost any cementitious surface, whether it be gray or color harden concrete, stamped or textured concrete, micro-toppings or overlays. It can be used as an entire surface colorant or just as an accent border or detail. It may be used on both new and existing substrates. Typically used as flooring in restaurants and food service areas, bars, hotels, casino’s, retail stores, malls, art studios, movie theaters, museums, pool decks, automobile showrooms, residential flooring and more. Classic Stain may also be used as a means to color poured in place concrete; both smooth or with a form linear, tilt up wall, stone-face plaster, GFRC and faux rock.

Note: In some cases if a reaction cannot be achieved, the substrate may need to be resurfaced with a cementitious topping such as Classic Micro Topping (indoor applications only) and Classic Stampable Overlay (outdoor applications only). The benefit to resurfacing is to provide a virgin canvas without the effect of patches, repairs, existing stains, mastics, glues, oils, etc.
