Description

Preliminary Remark
The solvent free Lithofin STAINSTOP >W< has different
chemical properties than solvent based impregnators.
Therefore, the application method differs from other
impregnators.

Description
Lithofin STAINSTOP >W< is a water based, solvent free
impregnator. The product is ready-to-use and contains
highly active water and oil repellent polymers and additives.

Technical Data:
Density: 1.0 g/cm³
pH-Value: approx. 4,5
Appearance: liquid, clear, yellowish
Odour: nearly odourless
Flash Point: approx. 36°C (c.c.)
Solubility in Water: n.a.

Properties
This special impregnator effectively protects surfaces
against the penetration of oil, grease, dirt and water, and it
largely prevents staining. The product penetrates into the
surface and forms an extremely thin, invisible film in the
capillaries. The appearance of the treated surface is either
unaffected or only slightly altered.

Durability: up to four years depending on the type and
use of the treated material. The product is UV resistant and
does not yellow.

Field of Use
Facilitates maintenance on stain sensitive surfaces, such as
floors in kitchens and dining areas, tables, counter tops etc.
Surfaces can be polished, honed or rough. Suitable for
indoor and outdoor use.
Surfaces: many natural stones, such as polished and rough
hard stones, rough and honed limestone and concrete
stone, terracotta, absorbent unglazed tiles, etc.
Please Note: the suitability of the product for marble and
other acid sensitive stones with a polished surface and all
types of fully vitrified ceramic tiles should be confirmed prior
to use. Confirm suitability on pre-treated surfaces prior to
use.

Directions for Use
The surface should be completely dry, clean and free of
stains. Shake the bottle before use.
Apply generously and evenly using a mop, brush, roller or
sponge. Ensure the material is evenly distributed on
polished surfaces by wiping over several times. Lithofin
STAINSTOP >W< can also be applied with a garden pump
spray and then be distributed evenly with a wide brush.
Highly absorbent surfaces should receive a second
application after approx. 20 minutes. Avoid puddles and
drips which should be wiped away immediately. Ensure that
all surplus product is removed, do not allow it to dry on the
surface. Clean all tools with water immediately after use.
Drying Time: the full effect will be achieved after 48 hours.
Keep the surface free of water and oil during this time.
Please Note: some materials may appear slightly darker
after treatment. We recommend an initial trial application.
Always treat the entire surface in a room. The product does
not protect against acid ingress. Remove splashes on
wood, glass, PVC, lacquered surfaces and mastic filled
joints with a cloth.
Application Temperature: 10°C to 25°C.
Coverage: 5-8 m² per litre on rough concrete stone, up to
10m² on rough limestone, up to 20m² on polished hard
stone.

Touching up treated Surfaces
Should the effect begin to fade, the surface can be retreated
with Lithofin STAINSTOP >W< or Lithofin MN Stain-Stop.
Surfaces that are subject to heavy use (kitchen work tops,
bathrooms, etc.) should be touched up once per year.
