  • Cohills Earth Tonechemical Stains
    TECHNICAL BULLETIN CPSET1013 COHILLS® EARTH TONE CHEMICAL STAINS Cohills® Earth Tone Chemical Stains create a unique look giving concrete visual character which cannot be achieved by using a conventional polymer or pigment type stain. When placed on a cementitious surface, the single component coloring solution of acidic metallic ion particles (acid stain), chemically react with the particles in the cement (free alkali) to form oxides. Typical paint or coating stains cover up the concrete, while chemical stains infuse the color into the surface to become a permanent part of the substrate which will not crack, chip, fade or peel. The resulting effect creates a translucent, varie- gated effect, showcasing the character of the substrate. Depending upon the cement content, age, po- rosity and manner in which hydration took place, the chemical stain will react differently every time. These variables cause broad drifts in color and mottled surface effects which are not considered defects, they are the reason for it’s inherent beauty. Walkways, driveways, patios, pool decks and more, can benefit by the use of Cohills® Earth Tone Chemical Stains whether it is a new or existing substrate.

  • Earth Tone Chemical Stains
    EARTH TONE CHEMICAL STAINS Ebony Sage Blue Stone Moccasin The color selector is designed to assist you in making your selections for Earth Tone Chemical Stains. The colors shown are representative of stain on natural gray concrete. Each concrete surface will accept the Russet Brown Sienna stain differently and have variations of color. Color effects produced will vary when applied over micro- toppings, self-levelers and stampable overlays and may differ significantly from the colors shown here. Color will also vary when applied over different inte- grally pigmented substrates. Wide variation mottling and unevenness of color should be expected and are normally desired. Modifying the integral color of the substrate can allow individuals to achieve a wider pal- let of colors and tones; i.e. a white or light color base will brighten and intensify colors significantly. Mahogany Driftwood Due to reproduction limitations and the nature of the chemically stained concrete, it is necessary that we reserve the right to allow for reasonable variations. Printed colors show approximate color without affect of curing methods, hydration due to environmental conditions, finishing techniques or application proce- dure. Variation of light, texture and effects of specific sealers will also affect the final appearance. It is highly recommended that you do a sample test area before installation.

    Extra Fine™ Watercolors Extra Fine Extra ™ Watercolor Stories Watercolor COLOR STORIES in brief Discover our world of pigments and how to incorporate each of their unique characteristics1 into your art. Alizarin Crimson Alizarin Crimson is the oldest synthetic deep red-crimson pigment. It is a lake pigment which when applied in strength and kept from the direct sunlight will last for many decades. Alizarin is a treat to paint with, just the sheer joy of the depth and uniqueness of color is invigorating. A beautiful bluish- red pigment from the staining family, Alizarin Crimson is listed on the basic palette of a vast majority of artists. Intense and dark in value, Alizarin Crimson mixes cleanly with most pigments to create dark mixtures and warm neutrals. A combination of Aureolin (Cobalt Yellow) and French Ultramarine with Alizarin renders a surprising range of other colors resembling everything from Burnt Sienna and Umber to Payne’s Gray, while Alizarin Crimson with French Ultramarine creates an intense purple. Alvaro’s Caliente Grey Alvaro’s Caliente Grey, “is a terrific hue, very powerful, excellent to create strong and warm paintings. In monochrome this wonderful Grey is perfect to achieve a powerful atmosphere with amazing glow. This color is also perfect to add dramatic highlights and shadows.” Alvaro’s Caliente and Fresco Greys, as he describes them, are about; “...magnetism, fury, energy...power. You know greys... create a feeling of danger, emotion, passion... mystery...evoke things that are unknown...darkness. I use these greys to create a painting that has a magnetism...energy, mystery, passion...something to discover, entering the unknown, darkness.
