The pH 8 fluoropolymer micro-emulsion penetrates 2-4 mm, lining capillaries with 0.1 µm film that repels liquids while letting 80 % of water vapour escape. Independent tests show water uptake reduced by 90 % and oil absorption by 70 % after 24 h.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhen to Use\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFreshly installed \u003ca href=\"\/en-ie\/pages\/stone-limestone\"\u003elimestone\u003c\/a\u003e floors - neat application, 150 ml\/m².\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePolished \u003ca href=\"\/en-ie\/pages\/stone-marble\"\u003emarble\u003c\/a\u003e vanity tops showing etch-prone spots - neat, 125 ml\/m².\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRough \u003ca href=\"\/en-ie\/pages\/stone-granite\"\u003egranite\u003c\/a\u003e barbecue counters before first barbecue season - neat, 180 ml\/m².\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHigh-traffic \u003ca href=\"\/en-ie\/pages\/stone-terracotta\"\u003eterracotta\u003c\/a\u003e hallway tiles needing dirt resistance - neat, 140 ml\/m².\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOutdoor slabs after deep cleaning for \u003ca href=\"\/en-ie\/pages\/problem-stain-protection\"\u003estain-protection\u003c\/a\u003e - neat, 160 ml\/m².\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to Apply\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eEnsure surface is dry (\u0026lt;10 % moisture) and dust-free; tape off non-porous trim.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFlood the stone with undiluted product using a lambswool roller, keeping a wet edge for 5 min.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMassage puddles with a white pad; after 10 min wipe off all excess with absorbent cloths.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAllow to cure 24 h before water contact and 48 h before food preparation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCovers 4-8 m²\/L depending on porosity.
