FEATURES & BENEFITS • Provides a durable finish that extends the life of concrete and masonry surfaces • Highly resistant to pool chemicals and many other household chemicals for long lasting beauty and protection • Water-Based formulation allows for easier application and clean-up • Can be applied to previously painted surfaces with proper preparation RECOMMENDED USES H&C® COLORTOP™ Water-Based Solid Color Concrete Stain is formulated for use on concrete, masonry and asphalt. It can be used on both interior and exterior surfaces including walkways, patios, pool decks, basement floors, and block and stucco walls. COVERAGE RATES Substrate* Concrete floors Porous concrete Concrete block Split-faced block Fluted block Brick (clay) Asphalt JOBSITE TEST SECTION Due to the wide variety of substrates, preparation methods, application methods and environments, it is important to test the product in an inconspicuous spot for adhesion and compatibility prior to full-scale application. H&C Products Group 101 W. Prospect Avenue Cleveland, Ohio 44115 Existing and Previously Painted Concrete: All concrete must be porous, clean, dry and free of grease, oil and other contaminates. To spot clean, use H&C™ CONCRETEREADY™ Cleaner Degreaser, following label directions. If mold, mildew, or fungus is present, kill and remove with a solution of 1 cup household bleach to 1 gallon of water. If surface has been previously painted, remove all old, peeling, flaking paint by rough sanding to ensure adhesion of H&C® COLORTOP™. Rinse away sanding dust before stain application.* DO NOT ETCH PREVIOUSLY PAINTED SURFACES. *WARNING: Removal of old paint by sanding, scraping or other means may generate dust or fumes that contain lead. To avoid exposure to lead dust, wear proper protective equipment, such as a properly fitted respirator (NIOSH approved) and follow proper containment and cleanup procedures. For more information, call the National Lead Information Center at 1-800-424-LEAD (in U.S.) or contact your local health authority. Garage Floors and Driveways: Proper surface preparation is crucial for garage floors and driveways. For garage floors, apply H&C® SHIELD-CRETE Water-Based Epoxy Garage Floor Coating. On driveways, use H&C®COLORTOP™ Solvent-Based Solid Color Concrete Sealer. *Coverage will vary depending on the porosity and texture of the substrate. LIMITATIONS Do not use on wood surfaces. SURFACE PREPARATION New Concrete: Allow new concrete to cure at least 28 days. Concrete surfaces should be able to absorb water. To test absorption, spray various sections of the surface to be stained with water. If the water does not absorb rapidly, then acid etch the surface using H&C™ CONCRETEREADY™ Etching Solution, following label instructions. After proper etching, the surface should feel like 120-grit sandpaper. If not, then etch again. Mechanical abrasion methods may be necessary to achieve proper profile. Do not apply the stain until all surfaces are porous. Allow all surfaces to dry at least 24 hours before staining. Prepared concrete must have a pH of 6 to 10. Asphalt: Asphalt surfaces must be free of grease, oil, dirt, wax, and other surface contaminates. Scrub with a solvent-free cleaner, following label directions. Do not etch asphalt. Not recommended for use on freshly sealed asphalt. Repair: For the best repair on vertical and horizontal concrete and masonry surfaces, use H&C™ CONCRETEREADY™ Quick Patch and Repair to fill low spots and spalled concrete. Please note that patching compounds will generally be visible through clear coatings. Technical Service 1.800.867.8246 www.hcconcr
