WHY SEAL?
When a liquid is spilt on a stone, tile or grout surface that has a degree of water absorption, a stain can result almost instantly as the reaction time to clean is short to zero! Sealing these same stone, tile or grout surfaces significantly reduces the degree of water absorption increasing the reaction time to clean and remove these contaminants before a stain can occur. Good sealers have reaction times measured in minutes, protecting the surface from primarily water based contaminants. The best or premium sealers have the longest reaction time measured in hours protecting surfaces from the widest range of contaminants both water and oil based
Enhancing Sealers
Aqua Mix Enhancing Sealers are penetrating / impregnating sealers, and are suitable for internal and external use. Unlike Natural Look Sealers, these will change the appearance of the surface. Enhancing Sealers highlight the natural characteristics of the stone without creating a gloss or shine. They contain active sealing molecules that penetrate and bond within the stone’s surface. These active ingredients, fill gaps and line the pore structures of the stone, tile or grout. What doesn’t penetrate the surface gets wiped away. They will not alter the slip resistance, peel, yellow or flake.
