Lithofin PROTECTION >W<: Water-Repellent Impregnator for Porous Stone and Concrete
Product Overview
Designed by the German experts at Lithofin, the Lithofin PROTECTION >W< is a water-based impregnator specifically crafted for porous surfaces such as natural stone, concrete, and brick. This impregnator provides a reliable, water-repellent layer that keeps surfaces cleaner and less prone to dirt and damage. Its solvent-free formulation ensures a low-odor application, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor environments without altering the appearance of the substrate.
Technical Specifications
The effectiveness of Lithofin PROTECTION >W< varies with surface porosity, offering coverage between 10-20 m² per liter. The product becomes dust-dry in approximately 2 hours and fully cures within 24 hours. For optimal protection, it is recommended for use on surfaces like marble, limestone, sandstone, and other porous stone types.
Functionality and Benefits
This impregnator penetrates deeply into substrates, providing a water-repellent barrier that prevents absorption of moisture and contaminants, thus extending the lifespan of treated surfaces. It also maintains the material's natural moisture regulation by retaining water vapor permeability. Key benefits include:
- Water-based, solvent-free, and biodegradable
- UV-resistant and non-yellowing
- Long-lasting protection, potentially up to five years
- Environmentally friendly composition
Application Instructions
For best results, apply Lithofin PROTECTION >W< to clean, dry, and absorbent surfaces using a brush, roller, or sprayer. For surfaces with high absorbency, a second coat may be required. Remove any excess product after 10 minutes to prevent streaks. Protect the treated area from water exposure for at least 8 hours and ensure open-air drying for 2-3 days to allow full treatment efficacy.
Practical Usage Tips
Before application, ensure surfaces are not polished, as the product may reduce glossiness. Lithofin PROTECTION >W< is not suitable for such finishes. For surfaces needing additional oil and stain resistance, consider using Lithofin STAINSTOP >W< in conjunction. Store the product in a cool, frost-free location to maintain its effectiveness for up to two years.
Maintenance Advice
Once applied, surfaces require minimal maintenance. If water-repellent properties diminish, a reapplication can restore effectiveness. Regular monitoring and reapplication based on surface condition and exposure will ensure continued protection.
