Amazon Stone’s Maximum Protection 15 – Year Sealer for Stone and Grout Put an End to Re-Sealing – Other sealers fill the pores on stone or grout using chemicals referred to as siloxanes, teflons, fluoropolymers, or other silicones. While this pore-filling method is effective, the chemicals gradually dissipate due to use, foot traffic, heat, sunlight, freezing and cleaning. Resealing is then required. The chemicals in our 15 Year Sealer, … however, chemically bonds directly to the latticework of the stone forever. This bond is of the same order of magnitude as the bond that holds the stone together. Our 15 Year Sealer will not require resealing, even outside in heavy traffic, for a minimum of 15 years.
Protects Against Oil and Water Staining – Our 15 Year Sealer reduces the surface energy of stone below the surface tension of oil and water. These liquids then remain on the surface for easy cleaning. Because of the unique needs of kitchen and bathroom countertops, we finish with two applications of our 15 Year Sealer for extra protection.
Stops Efflorescence and Salt Damage – Our 15 Year Sealer protects your concrete and stone from the damaging effects of snow-melt salt. Additionally, it allows water vapor to breathe through without carrying calcium salts that lead to white powdery lime scale called efflorescence.
Mold and Mildew Inhibiting – Mold, mildew and moss grow when the stone or grout absorbs water and is slow to dry. Our 15 Year Sealer prevents water absorption, so these do not grow. Any low spots where water collects may grow surface mildew, but a quick spray with bleach removes it without hurting the seal.
Use Any Cleaner – Cleaning becomes much easier. Since our 15 Year Sealer is bleach-tolerant, surface marks can often be bleached out. In fact, any cleaner can be used without affecting the seal. Please note: acidic cleaners may etch the stone, though they do not affect the seal. We recommend cleaning with a cleaner specifically designed for natural stone. You should always wipe up spills quickly.
Customer Friendly – Our 15 Year Sealer won’t change the frictional properties or appearance. The odor dissipates quickly. The surface can be used when it is visibly dry – usually within 30 minutes after the second coat. Wipe stains quickly, especially during the first month as the seal increases in strength.
Other Notes – Our 15 Year Sealer passes through most water-based or distillate-based impregnating sealers. Our 15 Year Sealer does not make the surface glossy. On a few types of stone such as dark slate, it may slightly darken the stone or give a slightly enhanced look. Our 15 Year Sealer will not protect against acid etching, surface scratching or surface wear.
