{"product_id":"lithofin-mn-stain-stop","title":"Lithofin MN Stain-Stop","description":"\u003cp\u003eYour marble kitchen countertop handles coffee, red wine, and cooking oil every day. One missed wipe-up can sink deep, leaving a dark ring you cannot polish away. Lithofin MN Stain-Stop ends that worry by filling the pores before stains reach them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat Stain-Stop Does\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStain-Stop is a neutral solvent-based impregnator for natural stone. Silane and siloxane molecules (pH ≈7.5) migrate up to 2 mm into the capillaries, then polymerise, creating a water- and oil-repellent network that leaves the surface appearance unchanged. You block red wine, oil, or coffee for 8-12 hours, giving you time to wipe spills without marks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhen to Use\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFreshly installed \u003ca href=\"\/en-mt\/pages\/stone-marble\"\u003emarble\u003c\/a\u003e kitchen tops - Ready to use, 70 ml\/m².\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutdoor \u003ca href=\"\/en-mt\/pages\/stone-sandstone\"\u003esandstone\u003c\/a\u003e terrace before winter - Ready to use, 150 ml\/m².\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBathroom \u003ca href=\"\/en-mt\/pages\/stone-limestone\"\u003elimestone\u003c\/a\u003e vanity after deep clean - Ready to use, 90 ml\/m².\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-traffic \u003ca href=\"\/en-mt\/pages\/stone-granite\"\u003egranite\u003c\/a\u003e lobby floor needing \u003ca href=\"\/en-mt\/pages\/problem-stain-protection\"\u003estain protection\u003c\/a\u003e - Ready to use, 120 ml\/m².\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHow to Apply\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnsure the stone is dry for 24-48 h and free of residues; clean with \u003ca href=\"\/en-mt\/products\/lithofin-mn-wash-and-clean\"\u003eMN Wash \u0026amp; Clean\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePour Stain-Stop into a tray and apply evenly with a lint-free cloth, sponge, or brush, keeping the surface wet for 5 min.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAfter 10-15 min penetration, buff off all excess with a dry white pad until the surface feels dry.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor very porous stone, repeat once while the first coat is still tack-free (within 30 min).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCoverage: 5-20 m²\/L.
