Masonry stains
Dymacryl 1100 Sierra Tone Water-Repellent Masonry Stains absorb deeply into the porous microstructure of brick, stone, stucco, and concrete, where they cure to form a semi-permeable barrier. Colorfast and flake-resistant, the stains are available in 10 popular colors and cover uniformly while preserving the original texture of the substrate. The VOC-compliant formulations are based on a combination of 100% acrylic polymers and copolymers, color stable inorganic pigments, and surface penetrating agents.
