Dry-Treat Stain-Proof Dense Stone Impregnating Sealer, 16 oz.

Dry-Treat Stain-Proof Dense Stone Impregnating Sealer, formerly known as Stain-Proof Plus, is an invisible, breathable sealer designed to protect natural stone and concrete countertops from water, salts and oil-based stains. Treated surfaces are easier to clean and maintain while retaining their natural color and finish.

Three custom sealing molecules provide three levels of penetration for maximum stain repellence. The formula includes a super penetrator for deep penetration into dense granite and marble. When applied by a STAIN-PROOF Accredited Applicator, the sealer includes a 25-year written performance warranty.

Application Instructions

1. Always test the product on a small area first. Allow 24 hours of curing time to evaluate application and results.
2. Make sure the surface is dry, clean and free of residue.
3. Do not thin the product.
4. Generously saturate the surface using a low-pressure hand sprayer, clean brush or lamb’s-wool applicator. The surface should maintain a mirror-like wet appearance for 3–5 seconds. Avoid contact with surrounding areas.
5. Allow the surface to become touch-dry for at least 10 minutes, then repeat the application. The total application rate is approximately 1 quart per 100 sq. ft. (1 liter per 10 square meters), depending on surface absorption.
6. After the final coat, allow the surface to become touch-dry for at least 10 minutes. Polish with a clean, dry white cloth to remove excess product. Moisten the cloth with sealer if needed to ease polishing.
7. Clean equipment with an organic solvent, such as methylated spirits.

Precautions

• Do not take internally.
• Apply only when the surface temperature is between 40°F and 95°F (5°C and 35°C).
• Avoid moisture contact with the treated surface for six hours after application.
• The surface may be used after 24 hours. Full curing may take up to four weeks.
• Protect surrounding areas from overspray.
• Keep away from drains, plants, water and soil. Do not empty the product into drains.
• Use only in well-ventilated areas. Use a positive-pressure respirator if ventilation is inadequate.
• Wear solvent-resistant gloves, protective clothing, safety goggles and an organic-vapor respirator during application.
• Wash hands thoroughly after applying.
• The sealer will not prevent surface etching, scuff marks or wear and may lighten or darken some surfaces.

Storage

Keep the container tightly sealed in a cool, well-ventilated place. For best results, use the product within seven days of opening to help prevent possible spoilage.
