Frequently Asked Questions
Is Concrete Dye a permanent color?
Is Concrete Dye a permanent color?
Yes! If properly taken care of, Concrete dye will last as long as the concrete itself. However, projects using Concrete Dye MUST be sealed every 1-2 years depending on exposure to retain the original color. If not properly cared for, the color could significantly fade requiring an additional application of dye.
What type of sprayer can I use to apply Concrete Dye?
What type of sprayer can I use to apply Concrete Dye?
Concrete Dye is an acetone-based dye. An acetone-resistant pump sprayer can be used, but when purchasing a sprayer, it is critical that the sprayer is designed to spray acetone. Acetone is a highly reactive liquid that will render most sprayers useless very quickly. Direct Colors Inc. sells a sprayer that is well-suited to applying Concrete Dye and is offered in the “Tools & Applicators” section of our website.
Do I need to seal in the color?
Do I need to seal in the color?
Sealing your surface is a MUST! All projects using Concrete Dye MUST be sealed every 1-2 years depending on exposure (indoor applications would need to be sealed less often) to retain the original color. If not properly cared for, the color could significantly fade requiring an additional application of dye.
How do I mix the Concrete Dye with the Acetone and where can I buy the Acetone?
How do I mix the Concrete Dye with the Acetone and where can I buy the Acetone?
Concrete Dye is shipped to the customer in powder form and must be mixed with Acetone to create the finished product. Acetone can be purchased at most hardware stores by the gallon and is relatively inexpensive. DCI Concrete Dye can be poured using a funnel into the gallon or larger-sized container. DO NOT USE AN ELECTRIC MIXER TO COMBINE THE DYE AND ACETONE! Replace the lid and shake until the contents are thoroughly mixed. Allow the mixture to set for 45 minutes and shake thoroughly again before using.
Is the Concrete Dye dangerous to me?
Is the Concrete Dye dangerous to me?
DCI Concrete Dye can be dangerous if not used properly. When spraying the product, remember to wear gloves, goggles and a dust mask/respirator for protection. Acetone does have a chemical odor and if using inside, the area should be ventilated to the OUTSIDE as much as possible. Acetone is a flammable liquid. DO NOT USE ELECTRIC MIXERS OR PLACE NEAR OPEN FLAMES! Always read over safety information before using any chemicals.
Is Concrete Dye and Concrete Pigment the same product?
Is Concrete Dye and Concrete Pigment the same product?
Concrete Dye and Concrete Pigment are NOT the same product. Concrete Dye is applied topically AFTER a slab or countertop has been poured. Concrete Pigment also known as integral color is added to the concrete mix BEFORE pouring a slab or countertop.
