What Is SunDye Concrete Dye?

Frequently Asked Questions About SunDye
Is concrete dye durable?
Yes. When sealed properly, SunDye provides long-lasting color that resists fading and surface wear.
Can SunDye be used indoors?
Yes. It is commonly used for interior residential and commercial floors.
Does it peel or flake?
