Description
With Loxon Vertical Concrete Stain, you can add color and weather protection to standing concrete structures to give them some extra appeal. Vertical Concrete Stain penetrates deeply into the concrete's pores to protect and finish leaving you with a clean and uniform surface color. This stain also acts as a water repellant and resists color fading, helping your structure look great long after the job is done.
Material Use
Available in Extra White (LX31W0051) and Deep Base (LX31W0053).
Loxon Vertical Concrete Stain is an exterior-grade acrylic stain designed to enhance the appearance and provide excellent water repellency to vertical concrete surfaces such as tilt-up walls. It offers protection without peeling, cracking, or blistering and is especially suited for decorative and structural applications exposed to weather.
System Components
- Base Options: Extra White or Deep Base tinted with SherColor (0–6 oz/gal or 4–12 oz/gal respectively).
- No primer is typically required as the first coat penetrates and seals the surface.
- Two-coat system recommended for optimal water repellency and uniformity.
- Elastomeric patch or sealant is suggested for bugholes, cracks, or voids before staining.
Applications
- Tilt-up and precast concrete panels
- Stadium supports and parking garage supports
- Bridges and structural concrete
- Stucco, decorative blocks, CMU, split face, and fluted block walls

- Recoat Time: 15 minutes minimum
- Coverage Rates (two-coat system):
- Tilt-up / Precast Concrete: 150–250 sq ft/gal
- Porous Concrete / CMU: 100–200 sq ft/gal
- Decorative Block / Stucco: 50–150 sq ft/gal
- Application Temp Range: 50°F to 90°F (air and surface)
