Stain Protector™: Sealer for natural stone, pavers, polished concrete

Impregnating sealer – world-leading protection for stone, pavers, polished concrete. Optimized depth of penetration, chemical bonding and water and oil repellence. Retains the colour, texture, breathability and slip resistance and does not leave a film.

Stain Protector^TM

Non-film forming, permanent bonding impregnator does not change the look of the surface.
Surface remains breathable, so that water which wicks into walls through the foundations can escape by evaporation.
Most popular for protecting natural stone, where it is important to maintain the look and breathability.
Penetrates and forms a water and oil repellent barrier, which limits the penetration of most types of graffiti. The graffiti is easier to clean and reduces possibility of permanent staining.

Stain Protector	Anti-Grafitti Coating
Protection
Limits penetration of grafitti into pores and makes cleaning easier	Coatings form a film barrier which provides excellent protection against all types of graffiti. Graffiti removers are still required to clean graffiti, which degrade the coating.
Appearance
Keeps look of surface regardless of which graffiti remover is used – particularly important for natural stone.	Creates a gloss or matte film, which can whiten, yellow and wear over time. Also, graffiti removers will degrade the film, making it look unsightly.
Longevity
Up to 15 years: High UV stability and chemical resistance. Not affected by pressure washing.	Sacrificial: Re-apply every time wall is pressure washed. Semi-Permanent: 1-4 years depending on UV and cleaning regime. Graffiti removers can damage, then wall must be stripped to reapply.
Breathability and related issues
Highly breathable – water in wall able to evaporate out. Keeps pores dry which retards mold growth.	Block pores, traps moisture inside wall. Efflorescence, mold and moisture can collect under the coating.
Re-application
Clean wall and re-apply.	Strip old coating off before re-application.
Cost
Higher initial cost of application Longevity = low long-term cost	Lower initial cost High re-application costs
