One thin coat of Lithofin FVE brings out the deep grey tone, then seals the stone so tomato sauce and oil no longer penetrate. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat FVE Does\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFVE is a neutral, solvent-based impregnator for porous stone, concrete, and unglazed ceramics. Silane-siloxane molecules (pH ≈ 7) bond under the surface, forming a 0.4 µm vapor-permeable network that repels water and oil for years. Pigment-wetting carriers intensify colour by up to 20 % without altering surface gloss.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhen to Use\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRough \u003ca href=\"\/en-hr\/pages\/stone-granite\"\u003egranite worktops\u003c\/a\u003e - apply neat; no dilution.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePorous \u003ca href=\"\/en-hr\/pages\/stone-sandstone\"\u003esandstone patio\u003c\/a\u003e slabs after power-washing; use neat.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndoor \u003ca href=\"\/en-hr\/pages\/stone-concrete\"\u003econcrete\u003c\/a\u003e floors needing darker tone; use neat.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnglazed \u003ca href=\"\/en-hr\/pages\/stone-terracotta\"\u003eterracotta\u003c\/a\u003e tiles in a bathroom; use neat.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDeepen colour on slate fireplace surrounds; use neat.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to Apply\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShake can for 30 s, then pour into a paint tray.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRoll or spray evenly at 25 ml\/m² (undiluted).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAfter 5 min, wipe off all excess with a lint-free cloth.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLet the surface stand dust-free for 2 h before traffic.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCoverage is 40 m² per litre on medium-porosity stone.
