Lithofin MN Protective Treatment: Optimal Protection for Natural Stone

What is Lithofin MN Protective Treatment?

Lithofin MN Protective Treatment is a special product from the Lithofin range, designed for marble, natural stone, and decorative concrete. This solvent-based impregnator is based on high-quality, weather-resistant siloxane compounds. The product makes treated surfaces water-repellent and reduces water absorption by 80-90%, depending on the substrate. Despite this protection, water vapor permeability remains largely unaffected. Lithofin MN Protective Treatment ensures that facades become less dirty and floors are easier to maintain. It does not form a film or gloss on the surface, thus preserving the natural appearance of the stone. A slight darkening may occur with some types of stone.

How the product works

Lithofin MN Protective Treatment works by forming a water-repellent layer on the treated surfaces. This product is specially developed to reduce water absorption while maintaining vapor permeability. This allows the stone to breathe and limits moisture absorption. This impregnation is ideal for both indoor and outdoor applications on floors and facades. It protects against dirt, stains, and algae formation, which is a great advantage especially for facades. The active ingredients penetrate deeply into the pores of the stone, providing long-lasting protection without changing the appearance of the stone.

Benefits and Properties

Lithofin MN Protective Treatment offers various benefits for natural stone surfaces. The product makes the stone water-repellent, significantly reducing water absorption. As a result, surfaces stay cleaner longer and are easier to maintain. The product is suitable for various types of stone such as granite, gneiss, porphyry, marble, limestone, sandstone, and concrete stone. The technical properties of Lithofin MN Protective Treatment include an active ingredient content of more than 5%, a density of approximately 0.8 g/cm³, and a flash point of around 38°C. The product is colorless, clear, and has an aromatic odor.

Application Instructions

Before applying Lithofin MN Protective Treatment, the substrate must be dry, clean, and absorbent. Use a clean brush, broom, or roller to apply the product evenly. Allow the product to penetrate and repeat the process after 30 minutes for highly absorbent substrates. For low-absorbent surfaces, apply Lithofin MN Protective Treatment generously and allow it to penetrate for 20 minutes. Remove excess product with a clean cloth. Ensure that non-absorbent and wet surfaces are not impregnated. Avoid application in the sun or at temperatures above 25°C. The drying time is approximately 40 minutes at room temperature.

Storage and Safety Instructions

Lithofin MN Protective Treatment should be stored in a cool, dry, and closed container. The product is shelf-stable for up to about three years. Ingredients such as siloxane and hydrocarbons make the product effective but also flammable. If swallowed, the product can be fatal if it enters the airways. It can cause drowsiness or dizziness with repeated exposure. Keep the product out of reach of children and protect surfaces sensitive to solvents from splashes. In case of eye contact, rinse immediately with plenty of water and consult a doctor. If swallowed, do not induce vomiting and seek medical attention immediately.
