Protect Stone – Stone & Tile Protector – 5L (Impregnator)

Protect Stone – Stone & Tile Protector – 5L (Impregnator)

A nano-based intelligent anti-stick-coating suitable for use on all porous Natural Stone floors including absorbent tile and grouting.

It offers improved resistance to both water and oil based soiling, and also against spills for up to a year after treatment. Longevity of treatment is dependent on the working environment and also on following the correct maintenance. Re-treat the floor when spills no longer bead up on the surface!

For use on:

Travertine, Slate, Marble, Quarry Tile, Porcelain, Limestone, Granite and Terracotta.

Application:

Protect Stone is supplied ready to use and can be applied by a pressure sprayer or using a lint free roller.

• Ensure that the sprayer is completely clean and free of any chemical residue; otherwise protection will be reduced or even ineffective.
• Pre-test the surface for suitability of treatment and observe for any detrimental effects.
• Ensure that the surface is clean and free of soiling prior to treatment.
• Apply an even application to a fully dry surface at walking pace with a pressure sprayer fitted with an 8001 fan type spray nozzle. Spray approximately 12″ from the surface and avoid drips and pooling, then allow to penetrate for 10-15 minutes.
• Finally mop off excess with a clean dry and lint free floor mop. Microfibre flat mopping systems are ideal for this purpose. The surface should be touch dry within an hour.

For maximum protection we recommend that 2-3 coats are applied as above, therefore 5 litres will cover approximately 50-125 m2 of flooring depending on absorbency with three coats.

Please allow 48 hours to fully cure – do not subject the surface to heavy traffic during this period.

Maintenance:

For general maintenance use our Neutral Stone Cleaner.

Do not maintain the treated floor with detergent based products or strong household cleaning chemicals such as bleach, as this will render the treatment ineffective and possibly even stain the floor.

This is not a permanent treatment or a totally waterproof coating!

The treatment does not guarantee complete protection from staining as some spills can contain strong food dyes and also aggressive chemical compounds that can penetrate the treatment. These can also alter the physical structure of natural absorbent floor tiles leading to possible permanent staining!

As an impregnating product, Protect Stone will not adversely affect the appearance of the floor, or reduce its natural slip resistance. A slight darkening of the surface may occur during treatment, but upon drying this should return to normal. However, there are exceptions and these can be contributed to the previous cleaning history, and or residues being present from previous cleaning or protective treatments.
