BREATHABLE SEALER

THIS SEALER LETS YOUR STONE BREATHE

Maltese Stone Sealer

Limestone and Sandstone Sealer

 

ℹ️ DESCRIPTION ℹ️

  • Maltese stone sealer | VP-1 is breathable and manufactured based on siloxanes to protect minerals, porous substrates of sandstone and limestone walls against water.
  • Maltese stone sealer | VP-1 reduces the absorbability of the substrate – ensures protection against rain, water, and penetration of harmful chemical compounds dissolved in water.
Maltese stone sealer | VP-1
  • It increases the resistance of the impregnated substrate to dirt, efflorescence, and the development of biological contamination.
  • Alkali-resistant, durable – UV-resistant, and solvent-free. It does not degrade the properties of the protected material in terms of gas, and the pores remain open.

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Prepare the surface

Thoroughly clean surfaces and remove any coatings or residue. For tough build-up, D-12 Cleaner is recommended.

Coverage: 1 Liter covers approx. 5-11 m²

3. Wet on wet application

Subsequent applications MUST be applied “wet on wet” within 10 minutes of the previous application. Do not allow the substrate to dry between applications.

2. Apply the Maltese Stone Sealer on a dry surface

Using a low-pressure spray, brush or roller, apply the product generously and evenly on the entire area until the surface is saturated.

4. Allow to Dry

Allow drying for at least 5 hours. For best results, keep areas dry and free from staining agents for 24 hours.

After 2 applications, test with water.

Limestone and general stones have tiny micro-holes and ridges on their surfaces, that over time will retain moisture, leading to damage, and it will be difficult to remove those stains.

Maltese stone sealer | VP-1 seals these pores and creates a protective barrier that ensures lasting beauty on the wall.

The solution you need.

Dark algae-based and fungus stains on walls are very common. And while they don’t necessarily damage the stone they live on, mold spores can become unsightly and downright ugly.

? PRIOR APPLICATION ?

  1. Before applying Maltese stone sealer | VP-1, the surface should be cleaned of dirt, dust, patina, loose elements, salt efflorescence, and residues of paint coats.
  2. Any adjacent substrate not being treated with the product must be protected. 
  3. Never apply on a wet substrate. The product can be used on a slightly damp substrate; nonetheless, please ensure that the stone substrate to be treated is as dry as possible.
  4. The substrate should not be displayed in direct sunlight and rainfall at the time of application.

Note.  Impregnation should not be performed on surfaces with high salinity, as this may lead to the intensification of the crystallization process of construction salts and the destruction of the substrate material.

?‍♂️ APPLICATION INSTRUCTION ?‍♂️

Maltese stone sealer | VP-1 is a ready-to-use product. DO NOT DILUTE.

  1. It may be applied using a low-pressure spray, brush, or roller.
  2. Apply the product generously and evenly to the entire area until the surface is saturated. Repeat the action several times depending on the attributes and porosity of the surface by the “wet on the wet” method.
  3. Subsequent applications MUST be “wet on wet” within 10 minutes of the previous application. Do not allow the substrate to dry between applications.
  4. Depending on the properties and porosity of the protected substrate, the above procedure should be repeated 2 or 3 times.
  5. During sealing and immediately after their completion, the freshly impregnated surfaces should be protected against direct sunlight and precipitation for a minimum of 5 hours.

? RECOMMENDATIONS ?

  • Do not allow the applied product Maltese stone sealer | VP-1 to dry between applications.
  • Do not apply during rain or frost and when surface and air temperature is < 5°C and > 30°C.
  • All surfaces must be treated to saturation in 1-3 “wet on wet” applications to ensure 100% product efficacy. This varies with the substrate, and treating a small trial area is recommended to calculate true consumption.

This information constitutes the basic guidelines for the use of the product. It does not release from the obligation to perform work by the principles of the art of construction, conservation guidelines, and health and safety regulations.

Do not apply during rain or frost and when surface and air temperature is < 5°C and > 30°C.

  6. Mario Vella

    Tried this on a sample of the stone to test resistance. Works really well, protecting from staining even when wetted. Very easy to apply using small roller and brush.

  7. John

    Had not come across this product before but needed something to seal my natural stone front door facade after pressure washing. This clear, water-based product was very easy to apply and two coats have produced an amazing result. Rainwater now stands on top and dries out without penetrating.

  8. Jason

    Fantastic product that has improved our water repellency on our facade. Clean the wall well and let it dry after applying.

  9. James

    Very easy to apply, quick to dry and makes the difference against water

    Very good sealer and easy to apply

  19. Dave Stevenson

    I am very happy with this product and your professional service. I have used it to seal a classic cangatura floor in my house of character with great results. It is water based and very easy to apply and when dry the appearance of the stone is hardly changed at all. It waterproofs and stabilises the stone but allows it to breath. Thanks Kibitec!
