Shanghai Linfeng Parquet CO.,LTD Concrete Stain Ingredients
The colors in concrete stain are created by mineral salts dissolved in water. Most minerals do not dissolve in water, and many that do are no good as stain because they have a plain white color.
Salts of the elements Iron, Copper, and Manganese are used in the formulas below because of their color, solubility in water, and low cost. The dissolved minerals are carried along with the water as it soaks into the porous concrete. A chemical reaction may occur between the minerals in the stain, the oxygen in the air, and/or the cement in the concrete. The reaction transforms the mineral from a water soluble chloride or sulfate to an insoluble oxide, hydroxide, or carbonate. The insoluble mineral is now left trapped, embedded in the concrete.

I do love this... I really like the idea of a stained concrete floor at a cabin. In our case, the only place this would apply would be the basement entrance areas (instead of tile).
