Give a quick makeover to your patio, paving and pathways with the StoneCare4U Essential Matt Finish All Stone Sealer 5L. This quick-drying formula forms a long-lasting matt look and stain-resistant coating. It is formulated for porous external natural surfaces, such as slate, terracotta, York stone, quarry tile, sandstone, limestone, concrete and many more stone types. The sealer provides excellent water repellence and long-lasting protection. Once sealed, the attractive matt finish helps to prevent efflorescence, green growth and algae growth and creates a self-cleaning surface tension that reduces the need for regular maintenance. This safe, eco-friendly formula imparts excellent water repellence and stain resistance. It reduces the capillary water absorption of the treated surface but doesn’t clog the pores or capillaries. Significantly, this reduces the potential for organic soiling and green growth and algae growth, while allowing the surface material the ability to “breathe” and transfer moisture vapour. How to apply: Before use, remove any loose debris from the work surface. Furthermore, please ensure you have adequate safety wear, i.e. gloves, suitable protective eyewear, face mask and clothing. Before application, the surface must be completely clean and dry in temperatures above 13 degrees Celsius and no higher than 23 degrees Celsius. Application methods include a low-pressure sprayer, roller, natural fibre brush or sponge. Leave the surface for a minimum of 72 hours with clear and dry weather to ensure the surface is completely dry and ready to be sealed. Please note: Essential All Stone Sealer Matt (dry) Finish may cause a change of colour on some surfaces – always try the product in an inconspicuous area prior to use. Surfaces that are not to be sealed should be protected with masking material. Not recommended for use on highly polished ceramic and glazed, dense or non-porous surfaces.
