Elements® Transparent Concrete Stain is a premium, water-based, environmentally friendly coloring system designed to create translucent, mottled, or variegated finishes on concrete surfaces—similar in appearance to reactive acid stains, but without the use of acid.

This concentrated stain is low-odor, low-VOC (15–50 g/L depending on color), and formulated with advanced nanotechnology to penetrate deeply into properly prepared concrete, enhancing the natural surface texture without forming a film. It’s suitable for both interior and exterior applications and is ideal for projects where natural-looking color variation is desired.

• Translucent Color Finish: Mimics the look of acid stain with layered, mottled effects.
• Low VOC & Eco-Friendly: Safer for indoor use with minimal environmental impact (15–50 g/L).
• Water-Based Formula: Easy to mix, apply, and clean up—no harsh odors or chemicals.
• Interior & Exterior Use: Formulated for a wide range of architectural and decorative settings.
• Advanced Nanopigment Technology: Enables deep color penetration and surface integration.
• Wide Color Range: Available in 18 standard colors, with multiple shades for rich design flexibility.
• Custom Tinting Possible: Additional color combinations available with testing and approval.
