One Day Stain Advantages

One Day Stain is not reactive and therefore produces a consistent effect every time even over completely different slab colors, patch work or cracks. It can be done in any color including white which is very trendy right now.

One Day Stain is also ready for traffic in a few hours and thus is a candidate for overnight return to service for establishments that do not close their doors. One Day Stain products almost no VOCs and meets all Leed Platinum standards. It is so non-toxic that it can be used while a business is open without creating harm to patrons.

It is excellent because of its quick return to service times but some of the other advantages are that it can be done in any color or combination of colors. One Day stain is not dependent on the concrete being consistent in adjacent slabs as it masks irregularities, patchwork and even completely different colors of concrete.

The One Day Stain moniker comprises Urethane 528 (primer and color) Superstains or iCoat Dispersion colors for pigmentation which is mixed as needed by the applicator and Urethane 2112 (top coat) Additionally Renew, an acrylic finish, can be added as a maintainable and sacrificial top coat.

How it’s Done

One Day Stain is applied similarly to acid stain for similar effects. It can also be mixed as an opaque stain to hide variations in concrete colors. This is generally sprayed from a back pack sprayer and then backrolled and crosshatched. After it is dry enough to walk on additional colors can be applied for various effects. You can also use spike shoes and apply wet over wet for even more effects.

The One Day Stain generally dries in less than an hour and is ready for the next step. The average project is about 3000 sq/ft and takes about 5 hours start to finish after concrete prep.

PREP

Prepare your floor for the One Day Stain application. Remove all debris, glue, and carpet tacks. Use iCoat Patch & Fill or Crack RX to fill holes in the existing concrete and smooth with a trowel. When dry, sand or grind rough areas. Remove dust with a vacuum and then mop to clean with iCoat Maintain to remove dust particles on the floor.

PRIME

Apply iCoat U528 Primer/Stain Urethane tinted any color starting with a white or black base. It can be rolled or sprayed on and it penetrates concrete surfaces to create an excellent bond.

COLOR

Now for the color design. Add the color of choice, iCoat Dispersion, Acrylic, or SuperStain in a variety of ways; spray, roll, or speckle. Colors can be mixed in water or in our iCoat U528 Urethane.

SEAL

You now have a choice of topcoats from iCoat U2112, a high-strength, single-component urethane topcoat. It is breathable with standard moisture. 2112 is fast drying and can be applied in one coat or two as necessary. Typically it is ready for foot traffic within an hour of application. MI Epoxy is a crystal-clear, industrial-grade epoxy that can be used as a topcoat in situations like garages, restaurant kitchens, mechanic shops, airplane hangars, or wherever top-notch chemical resistance is required.

To keep the floor looking great over time it can have one or more coats of Renew applied with a microfiber cloth. Renew is a sacrificial, maintainable coating that can be reapplied at any time after mopping to produce a high sheen.
