LITHOCHROME Tintura Stain is a low VOC, environmentally-friendly stain that penetrates and bonds with porous concrete or cementitious toppings for permanent, nonfading color. When finished with the compatible sealer, it is durable enough for areas not subject to abrasion or heavy traffic, such as interior floors, interior or exterior walls and columns, and some exterior hardscape uses. A regular maintenance plan is recommended.

You can achieve either a translucent appearance or a more opaque look by applying additional coats of Tintura Stain -- up to three coats may be applied to increase color intensity. Multiple colors can be blended for unique colored surfaces. The final installed appearance will be unique depending on the color consistency, condition and porosity of the substrate, and the cement and aggregates used. LITHOCHROME Tintura Stain may color the aggregate on exposed-aggregate surfaces.

LITHOCHROME Tintura Stain can be color-matched to the full range of Scofield colors, and custom colors can be produced by request.
