C2 Tint 457ml Bottle

Product Information

C2 Tint transforms dull gray concrete into decorative, low-maintenance finished concrete flooring. This non-flammable, water-reducible formulation penetrates and colors cementitious surfaces without risk of etching the surface or corroding nearby architectural metals. Use C2 Tint alone or in layers over gray, integrally colored, acid-stained or color hardened concrete for an unlimited range of colors. Apply penetrating C2 Tint to concrete before hardening/densifying with C2 Super Hard or C2 Hard, and then apply the appropriate Crete Colors protective treatment to seal and enhance the color with a high-gloss protective finish. Concentrated C2 Tint minimizes freight, handling, storage and container disposal costs.
