Design & Stocking Flexibility: For the professional decorative concrete artisan, choose our tint base with pre-mixed colorant packs or individual pigments to create your own custom colors or precision on the job colorization. SoyCretetm is available in our 16 standard premixed colors or tint base to meet your inventory and installer project objectives. Also, keep a supply of our 2 ounce sample colors to show actual results on your project substrate surface. There is no better way to determine project surface preparation and colorization requirements. Customers that are able to visualize results before full project installation will help you win more projects and enable you to better estimate installation time, saving you valuable labor hours.

The Technology:
SoyCretetm is made
from rapidly renewable resources. The bio-based natural plant oils,
modified acrylics, and 100% solids soy ester pigment chemistry,
delivers true penetration, permanent staining, and natural
semi-transparent color variations unique to each substrate surface. A
natural variegated design is achieved even with no artistic talent.
With artistic talent however, you will be able to easily
create designs that were never before possible.
Our pigment technology when combined with the solvency of soy esters and modified acrylics, recolorizes and bonds within the concrete surface. The permanent staining effects are similar to that of motor oil and dyes that penetrate below the surface and can only be removed by abrading the surface once it has cured. This unique formulation also inherently provides UV, water, mold, mildew, and efflorescence resistance.
Performance and Durability:

Performance and Durability:
Soycretetm is
not a topical coating, unlike conventional water-based stains, dyes, or
floor paint. The true penetration and recolorization within the
concrete surface eliminates flaking, peeling or chipping. The only way
to remove the stain once it has cured is to abrade the surface by
sanding, blasting, or chemically etching the surface. Only when the
concrete surface is worn or damaged will signs of discolorization
occur.
Proper
surface preparation and quality of the installation dictate optimum
performance of any decorative flooring system. Obviously the more
complex, hazardous, or restricting the environmental conditions are
surrounding the installation, the more that could go wrong to
inevitably compromise the quality of the coating system. Thus, SoyCretetm reduces the many potential pitfalls that may compromise a successful installation. It
is extremely easy to use and install without multiple rinsing or
neutralizing steps saving significant installation time. Surface
incompatibility and outdoor weather condition limitations are greatly
reduced with our technology. Should changes or unexpected obstacles
alter the original installation process, SoyCrete's technology enables
easier and faster repair or even re-application if necessary.
