DESIGN LASUR/STAIN
Int/Ext Pigmented Transparent Mineral Stain
Design Lasur/Stain is an exceptional, sol-silicate, mineral pigmented, transparent finish and glaze that can be used for a wide range of decorative and artistic finishes, as well as a vivid and long-lasting color stain for larger concrete and masonry surfaces, both indoors and outdoors. Unlike mineral silicate paints, Design Lasur is thinner-bodied, which allows it to deeply penetrate and form permanent chemical bonds while providing ultimate vapor permeability.
When mixed with Design Fixative/Dilution Clear, Design Lasur can achieve almost any level of transparency, whether you want mostly solid colors or a light veil of color. Our artist-grade pigments are super finely ground and blended to ensure exceptional appearance. Design Lasur is the most universal decorative mineral finish available and is perfectly suited for use over any Keim mineral silicate paint base coat.
Benefits
- Sol-silicate penetrates and forms permanent chemical bonds—won’t peel or lose adhesion
- Lightfast, the color will not fade
- Extremely vapor permeable—keeps the masonry surface drier
- Weather and moisture resistant
- Not affected by pollution or acid rain
- Mineral matte finish is completely compatible with the natural appearance of raw concrete
- Increases light reflectivity—concrete masonry surfaces appear brighter, even in low light
- Vivid and intense artist monochrome colors available
- Solid color, semi-transparent, or very little color—you choose
- Ideal for creating decorative paint finishes indoors or outside
- Thin bodied stain-like consistency for watercolor artistic effects
Use for
- Interior or exterior new or bare, aged concrete substrates including concrete
- CMU block
- Portland Stucco
- Masonry, Brick, Stone
- Interior drywall and plaster
- Provide decorative color wash finishes
- Opaque thin-layer finish retaining the natural surface texture
- Protective water and weather resistant finishes
Environmental compliance
Create varied transparent hues from a single color
Design Lasur colors are highly concentrated, using highly refined mineral oxide pigments. The super-fine artist pigments allow the stain to be used from solid color all the way to just a hint of color. And you can trust that Design Lasur/Stain will never develop “grainy” colors, no matter how translucent you make it. Below is a representation of Design Lasur, color 9550, diluted at various ratios (seen below) with the first number Lasur and the second number clear Fixative, applied over a plaster finish.
