StoneCare SEAL

A penetrating liquid product for natural stones for rendering them oil and water repellent. This product creates an invisible seal at the surface of the stone, penetrating into the cracks and the cavities, providing both oil and water repellency. It does not modify the natural look of the stones. Thus, any oily or aqueous spillage on the surface will not penetrate into the stone and can be easily wiped off and cleaned.

Properties :

·  Stonecare-SEAL provides long term protection (up to 2-3 years) against staining.

·  The protection period depends on the nature of the stone, wear and frequency of cleaning.

·  Use of hard detergents for cleaning will decrease the protection period.

·  Stonecare-SEAL is used without dilution.

·  Solvent base cleaners are not recommended.

·  Moisture-vapor transmission is not prevented.

Application :

·  Whole surface to be treated is wetted with Stonecare SEAL evenly. Use soft brush or paint pad to rub the chemical into the surface, leave to dry and cure for 24 hours.

·  Test a small area first.

·  Newly  installed areas must be left for at least 48 hours before Stonecare SEAL treatment.

·  Application surface must be dry, clean and free from dust.

·  Usually one treatment is sufficient but if required a second coating can be applied after drying out of the first coat.

·  A bottle of Stonecare SEAL (0,95 Kg) is sufficient for the treatment of 25-35 m2 surface depending on the porosity of the surface.

·  The surface must not be too hot during application as this will cause fast drying and improper penetration.

·  Do not apply Stonecare SEAL on surfaces previously treated with another coating material. It must contact and react with the natural stone, for an extended protection.

·  Stonecare SEAL does not protect acid labile stones (such as marble) against strong acids.
