Silane molecules (pH≈7) bond inside pores ≤0.1 µm, forming a water-contact angle of ≥110° and an oil-repellency rating of 5. Coverage reaches 10-30 m²\/L, giving 3-5 years of invisible barrier against red wine, coffee and bathroom cosmetics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhen to Use\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnglazed porcelain kitchen floor after grout haze removal - Ready to use (RTU) 50 ml\/m² \u003ca href=\"\/en-mt\/pages\/problem-stain-protection\"\u003estain-protection\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-traffic ceramic lobby tiles - RTU 60 ml\/m² \u003ca href=\"\/en-mt\/pages\/stone-ceramic\"\u003eceramic\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolished marble vanity splash zone - RTU 90 ml\/m² \u003ca href=\"\/en-mt\/pages\/stone-porcelain\"\u003eporcelain\u003c\/a\u003e alt finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClinker mudroom floor before winter - RTU 70 ml\/m² \u003ca href=\"\/en-mt\/pages\/stone-clinker\"\u003eclinker\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to Apply\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnsure surface is clean, fully dry (24 h) and 10-25 °C.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePour RTU product into paint tray, saturate microfiber roller, then spread 50-100 ml\/m² evenly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAfter 10 minutes, redistribute pools with a soft sponge to avoid gloss spots.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAfter 30 minutes, buff residue with a white pad; allow 24 h before wet use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAverage coverage: 15 m²\/L on porcelain, 12 m²\/L on cotto.
