Sealer for concrete and masonry substrates
Description
CANYON TONE STAIN is a modified, water-based acrylic, penetrating pigmented sealer. It possesses superior color stability, ultraviolet resistance, alkali and pollution resistance, and water-repellency. Toning pigments are chemically suspended in the acrylic resins, thus eliminating settling and color variations on the structure.
CANYON TONE STAIN is integrally locked into the substrate as a result of its low viscosity and microscopic penetration properties. It will not peel, crack or blister from a properly prepared concrete or masonry surface. CANYON TONE STAIN allows moisture vapor to escape from the building interior, while providing excellent water-repellency on the exterior through the use of hydrophobic resins.
Features & Benefits
-
Uniformity of Appearance: CANYON TONE STAIN contains a relatively low degree of pigmentation. Depending upon the desired color, a maximum of 1 pound of toning pigments are used per 1 gallon (3.8 liters) of finished product. These toning pigments are chemically suspended in solution at all times by a proven process that eliminates settling and color variations on the structure.
-
Color Retention: Toning pigments used in CANYON TONE STAIN standard colors are laminar silicates, titanium dioxide and inorganic oxides. These non-fading toning pigments are as durable as natural stone and will greatly resist ultraviolet and ozone attack.
-
Single Package: CANYON TONE STAIN is a ready-to-use material after mixing. It has no pot life problems. Shelf life is unlimited.
-
Fast Application: CANYON TONE STAIN dries quickly and can be rapidly applied in 2 coats over most surfaces.
-
Non-Oxidizing: CANYON TONE STAIN does not contain any ingredients that will oxidize, such as vegetable and marine oils, paraffins, stearates or organic pigments, which cause rapid degradation and allow moisture intrusion. CANYON TONE STAIN contains pure, non-yellowing acrylic polymers. There are no filler resins or plasticizers.
-
Non-Lapping: CANYON TONE STAIN utilizes a unique acrylic resin formulation which, together with its low degree of pigmentation and sheen, virtually eliminates lapmarks under most application conditions.
-
Water-Based: Non-toxic and odor free for easy, safe application on both interior and exterior surfaces. Meets all Federal, State and Local V.O.C. requirements.
-
No peeling or Flaking: Due to the micropenetrating qualities and tenacious adhesion of CANYON TONE STAIN to concrete and masonry surfaces, the stain weathers like natural concrete and does not peel or flake from the substrate as do typical "paint" finishes.
Uses
CANYON TONE STAIN is a penetrating sealer and stain with excellent water-repellent properties. It is design for use on properly prepared, abovegrade, smooth or textured concrete, masonry, brick, stone or stucco. CANYON TONE STAINcorrects natural color imperfections in the substrate by imparting permanent color uniformity plus waterrepellency, without disturbing the natural texture of the substrate. It is not designed for application to horizontal surfaces.
CANYON TONE STAIN is used as a uniform color finish on precast and poured concrete, glass fiber reinforced concrete, brick, stucco and stone surfaces. CANYON TONE STAIN is not designed
to waterproof concrete block or other porous substrates. It can be used over masonry substrates to achieve color uniformity only. Contact UNITED’s Technical Service Department for additional information. As a water-based system, CANYON TONE STAIN can be used on interior surfaces as well as exterior. CANYON TONE STAIN complies with all VOC regulations.
Highway bridge structures, sound walls, median barriers, foundations, tunnels, retaining walls and related building structures are all candidates for the application of CANYON TONE STAIN. It is also an excellent choice for maitaining, restoring or changing the color of existing EIFS installations.
