Bulletin should be read and
understood completely before using,
including the installation and approval
of a test section as described. The use
of any other sealers will cause
performance failure of the stain and
sealer system, producing unacceptable
results in most cases.
SCOFIELD Selectseal-W
is recommended for use over
LITHOCHROME Tintura Stain. It is
a waterborne, environmentally
friendly, one component, clear,
acrylic-polyurethane sealer developed
for use over antiqued, imprinted, or
chemically stained porous concrete or
cementitious surfaces. It provides a
tough, low-maintenance coating that
enhances the appearance and has
excellent resistance to scratching,
abrasion and discoloration. It is highly
resistant to yellowing when exposed
to ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Surface
appearance will vary from matte to
semigloss depending on substrate
porosity and number of coats applied.
Two coats are required on surfaces
stained with LITHOCHROME Tintura
Stain. See Tech-Data Bulletin B-504
for full details.
Other Sealers
Where a solvent-based sealer is
permitted, SCOFIELD Cureseal-S or
SCOFIELD Selectseal-S may be used
on concrete surfaces stained with
LITHOCHROME Tintura Stain.
SCOFIELD Cureseal-S may be used
on Scofield cementitious toppings.
Use of SCOFIELD solvent-based
sealers may cause the shade of
LITHOCHROME Tintura Stain to
appear significantly darker. The
sealer which is intended for use on
the project should be used for the test
section or mock-up. For full details
refer to Tech-Data Bulletins.
SCOFIELD COLORING SYSTEMS
LITHOCHROME Tintura Stain may be
applied over colored concrete or
colored cementitious toppings for
unique multicolored effects. When a
single coat is applied, the underlying
color of the substrate will modify the
appearance of the stain.

COLOR CHART A-422.03
Scofield toppings are used for
resurfacing structurally sound
concrete to provide highly durable,
low profile hard surfaces. SCOFIELD®
Overlay™ is a self-leveling topping that
produces a smooth finish preferred in
many interior uses. Ash White
SCOFIELD Overlay is a popular
surface for staining because it
intensifies some colors. SCOFIELD®
Texturetop® is a durable, cementitious
topping that can be imprinted,
stenciled or troweled for unique interior
and exterior surfaces. SCOFIELD
Texturetop is available in three
different formulations suited to
different requirements: Stamp Grade,
Stencil Grade or Trowel & Spray Grade.
LITHOCHROME Tintura Stain is
compatible for use with these toppings.
LITHOCHROME Tintura Stain also is
compatible for use on concrete
previously colored with
LITHOCHROME® Color Hardener or
CHROMIX® Admixtures for ColorConditioned® Concrete. Removal of
any contaminants, sealers or coatings
is necessary to prepare the concrete
to accept staining.
See Tech-Data Bulletins for details.

Pastel Colors
The environmentally friendly, penetrating,
waterborne Tintura system is formulated
specifically to stain concrete or cementitious
toppings. Unlike coatings or paints which
often delaminate when used on concrete,
LITHOCHROME Tintura Stain chemically
bonds with cured concrete that is uncolored,
color hardened, or integrally colored. It is
also compatible for use with SCOFIELD®
Overlay™ or SCOFIELD® Texturetop®
cementitious toppings. The Tintura
System includes companion sealers that
are required for long-term durability and
long-lasting colors. (See back cover.)
LITHOCHROME Tintura Stain, developed
for use on interior floors where a regular
maintenance program will be followed,
can also be used to improve the appearance
of concrete walls, columns and other
vertical decorative concrete features, and
to create accent areas and graphics on
horizontal exterior surfaces not subject
to abrasion or heavy traffic.
Either a translucent or an opaque
appearance can be achieved with this
unique, proprietary system. Up to three
coats may be applied to increase color
intensity. The standard colors range from
pastel tints and natural earth tones to
brilliant and vivid hues. LITHOCHROME
Tintura Stain can be color-matched to the
full range of Scofield colors, and, in
addition, custom colors can be produced.
The final installed appearance can vary
depending on the color consistency,
condition and porosity of the substrate and
the cement and aggregates used.
Application methods are efficient. The
color is applied full strength and requires
no neutralizing and no residue removal.
It is VOC-compliant, low-odor, and easy to
use. Prior to application, careful cleaning
and substrate preparation are required
to remove any contaminants, sealers or
coatings that might interfere with adhesion.
See Tech-Data Bulletin A-424 for full details.

Examples shown represent three coats of
LITHOCHROME Tintura Stain applied over uncolored,
medium gray concrete, then sealed with two coats
of SCOFIELD® Selectseal-W™. The color effects
produced may differ significantly from that shown
on the color chart. A representative test section
should be prepared for each individual concrete
surface prior to general application.
A somewhat translucent appearance is normal. The
appearance of variation may be increased depending
upon the evenness of the application technique. To
reduce variations in color and increase opacity, a
base coat of uncolored LITHOCHROME Tintura Stain
without color added may be applied, followed by one
or two coats tinted with the chosen color.
For optimum performance, surfaces stained with
LITHOCHROME Tintura Stain require initial
application of a compatible sealer along with
periodic maintenance and resealing. Water-based
SCOFIELD Selectseal-W is the preferred sealer for
most uses. See back page for more information.
