Description
Smith’s Base Boost – Stain Additive
Smith’s Base Boost is a blend of silicates used as an additive to Smith’s Color Floor and/or Smith’s Color Wall to promote substrate adhesion for base or primary colors as well as increase the stains durability.
Smith’s Color Floor and Color Wall stains already achieve superior mechanical adhesion as a result of the modified acrylic carrier, but adding Base Boost into the Smith’s Concentrate produces an additional bond by reacting with the unhydrated calcium hydroxide found in the concrete.
Smith’s Base Boost should not be used for application to overlays, previously coated substrates, or as an additive for highlight colors.
Smith’s Base Boost Features

- Available in 1 & 5 gallon containers
Smith’s Base Boost is a CONCRETE DENSIFIER
Smith’s Base Boost is a ready-to-use blend of penetrating additives and reactive silicates that can be applied to densify or harden concrete. Once applied, Smith’s Base Boost chemically reacts resulting in crystalline structures that embed within the concrete surface. This treatment increases chemical and abrasion resistance.
Base Boost is a key component in the “Polishing with Smith’s Liquid Dyes” and “Burnish with Color Floor” application processes.
Smith’s Base Boost is an ADHESION PROMOTER
Use Smith’s Base Boost as an additive to Smith’s Color Floor and Smith’s Color Wall. This additive promotes substrate adhesion for base or primary colors, as well as increases durability of the stains.
Smith’s Color Floor and Color Wall stains already achieve superior mechanical adhesion as a result of their modified acrylic carrier, but adding Base Boost into the Smith’s Concentrate produces an additional bond by reacting with the un-hydrated calcium hydroxide found in the concrete substrate.
