Product description
What is Lithofin VLEKSTOP W
Lithofin VLEKSTOP W is a water-based impregnator specially developed to protect natural stone, cement tiles and terrazzo against staining. The product contains strong polymers and additives that repel both oil and water, making surfaces more resistant to the penetration of liquids and grease. It is ready-to-use, solvent-free, and therefore environmentally friendly. Ideally suited for kitchens, dining areas, tables and countertops, while hardly altering the appearance of the treated surface.
How the product works
When applied to a porous and absorbent surface, Lithofin VLEKSTOP W penetrates deeply into the pores and forms a thin, invisible protective layer. This layer reduces the absorption of water, oil and grease, significantly lowering the risk of staining. Dirt remains on the surface, making it easy to wipe away. The product is suitable for a wide range of natural stones – both polished and unpolished – and can be used indoors as well as outdoors.
Properties and benefits
Lithofin VLEKSTOP W offers multiple advantages. It is safe for surfaces that come into contact with food and complies with EU regulations. The product is nearly odorless, easy to apply and biodegradable. Its protective effect lasts up to four years, depending on the type of stone and the surrounding conditions. It is suitable for both newly installed surfaces and for renewing protection on previously treated surfaces.
Application
Ensure surfaces are clean, dry and free of stains before application. Shake the container well and apply the product evenly with a brush, sponge, or roller. Avoid puddling or excess application; remove surplus product immediately. The surface can be walked on after 20–30 minutes, but full effectiveness is reached after 48 hours. During this period, avoid contact with water or oil.
Maintenance and advice
When the protective effect diminishes, the surface can be re-treated with Lithofin VLEKSTOP W. For daily maintenance, the use of Lithofin cleaning products is recommended. Stored unopened and frost-free, the product will last for about two years. For best results, careful application and proper maintenance are essential.
