Concrete Acid Staining

by shashank
(New Delhi, India)

Contrary to the popular belief that acid staining is paint or some sort of coloring agent, the fact is that acid staining is actually a coloring procedure. This procedure involves the chemical reaction between a mixture of water, inorganic salts and acid with concrete. Hydrochloric Acid is the main constituent of acid stains.
A few days back, my friend suggested to me that I get acid staining done at my place. My house is a little old- it was built some 20 years ago by my late grandfather. So the concrete in my house is old. That is why I decided to go ahead with acid staining. I asked a contractor to send some laborers to my place who are familiar with acid staining. The the concrete covered around 350 square feet of area in my house, so I needed almost one gallon of acid stain. First, the concrete slabs were cleaned. After drying, they were acid stained. I also applied sealer on the concrete after acid staining.
