AMERIPOLISH water-based dye has been created to complement and expand on the already proven AMERIPOLISH solvent-based dye.
As with the Solvent-based dye, the water-based dye is formulated using
extremely fine molecules of color designed to penetrate and color cementitious surfaces (All bond barriers must be removed prior to application of dye). The Water-based dye was created for use when 1) flammability is a concern, 2) adequate airflow cannot be assured, and 3) the dyes are to be used around fresh meat, vegetables and fruit. Please note that while the water-based dyes will penetrate most concrete floors, there may be floors that retain some bond barrier, or are too tight, for the Water-based dye to penetrate, while the solventbased dye still might. In addition, due to the increased dwell time of
the Water-based dyes, it is not recommended to use them on stencils without pre-testing the integrity of the stencil adhesive, or bleeding may occur.
AMERIPOLISH dyes were created for use with polished concrete, but may be used as a base color or touch up for concrete that has received integral color, dry shake hardeners, acid stains or even as an overlay to itself. Prior to starting your project, always apply the dye to a sample area at the actual site in order to confirm that the floor is receptive to the dye and to establish the desired color. REMEMBER that dyes will not mask or hide imperfections in the floor.
