Reactive concrete staining produces unpredictable results by reacting with minerals in concrete to create varied marbled patterns and depth of color. CHEM-STONETM is one such reactive stain available in 8 shades that reacts with concrete minerals. It provides protection from aging while minimizing maintenance. Reapplication of top coats after 15 years is typically all that is needed.
