Description

Description
A special product from the LITHOFIN-Range for marble,
natural and engineered stone (MN).
Lithofin MN Stain-Stop contains high quality water and oil
resistant components based on alkoxysilanes.

Properties
Lithofin MN Stain-Stop penetrates into the surface and coats
the capillaries with an extremely thin, invisible film.
Oil, grease and water are not absorbed by the surface,
but remain on the surface (12 to 36 hours on polished marble
and limestone, up to 48 hours on granite and gneiss).
During this time, oil can easily be removed without leaving
stains. The effectiveness depends on the amount of product
absorbed by the surface. The appearance of the natural stone
is not affected. Some stones may become slightly darker in
colour. The water absorbency of the stone is greatly reduced;
the water permeability is only slightly affected. The product is
UV-resistant and does not yellow.

Technical Data:
Density: approx. 0.8 g/cm³ Flash Point: about 32°C
Appearance: colourless Odor: aromatic
Reduction of water absorbency: approx. 90-95%
Permeability: approx. 80 to 90%

Field of Use
For invisible protection against staining and for facilitating
maintenance of all natural stone surfaces, including polished
marble. Perfect for use on wall and floor surfaces in the kitchen
and bathroom, as well as on table tops, window sills and other
sensitive surfaces.
Please Note: marble and limestone will remain sensitive to acid.

Directions for Use
Without prior experience or in cases of doubt, try the product
in an inconspicuous area prior to use. The surface to be treated
must be completely dry and clean.
Working in small areas (10 to 15m²) apply product
generously and evenly until the surface appears wet.
On dense stones: keep wet between 5 and 15 minutes and
ensure even distribution. Completely remove all excess – do
not allow to dry on the surface if not being absorbed into the
stone.
On highly absorbent stones: keep wet between 5 to 15 minutes
and ensure even distribution. After 1 hour repeat the process.
Completely remove all excess – do not allow to dry on the
surface if not being absorbed into the stone.
Immediately check the whole surface for an even finish. Allow
to dry for 1 to 2 hours.
Attention! the liquid product must sink into the stone. Do not
allow the product to dry on the surface. Wipe excess product
within 15 min.
Please Note: Non-absorbent surfaces cannot be impregnated.
Glass, ceramics, wood, and other surfaces sensitive to solvents
must be protected against splashes.
Application Temperature: the temperature of the surface should
be between 10°C and 25°C. Switch off under floor heating.
Drying Time: After 30-40 min. surface will be dry and ready to
be stepped on. Complete drying process and effectiveness of
the impregnation will take approx. 5 days. During this time, do
not cover the surface and wipe up any spills immediately.

Coverage: depends on the absorbency of the stone.
Estimates: on very dense stone: up to 40 m²/litre
on polished surfaces: up to 15 m²/litre
on rough and porous stone: 5-7m²/litre

Durability
The durability depends on the care products used. Strong degreasing or layer forming products are unsuitable to use.
Heavily used surfaces such as kitchen counters should be
retreated once a year.
Advice: Remove stain causing materials from impregnated
surfaces immediately. For regular maintenance of kitchen
counter tops we recommend Lithofin MN Easy-Clean.

Storage
Closed, cool and dry up to 3 years. Open containers should
be used without delay.
Environmental Protection
Contains solvents, free of chlorinated hydrocarbons.
Do not flush down drain.
