Lithofin MN Stain-Stop
Invisible Stone Penetrating Sealer
Many products on the market have been designed to enhance and "protect" the surfaces of stone, tile, and grout, including topical sealers, penetrating sealers, impregnators, colour enhancers, and waxes. As the name implies, penetrating sealers actually seal the surface tight against water, oil and other contaminants. We are glad you are here and Stone Doctor Australia gives you one of the best penetrating sealers from the Lithofin brand, Lithofin MN Stain-Stop.
Lithofin MN Stain-Stop is a special impregnator sealer that provides optimal protection for absorbent natural and artificial stone surfaces against staining. Lithofin MN Stain-Stop prevents penetration of oil, grease, and water and makes further maintenance easier. Lithofin MN Stain-Stop is ideal for use in kitchens, laundries, toilets and bathrooms. When used on work surfaces the Lithofin MN Stain-Stop is food safe once dry. Lithofin MN Stain-Stop does not leave a gloss finish and remains effective for many years.
Lithofin MN Stain-Stop penetrates into the surface and coats the capillaries with an extremely thin, invisible film. Oil, grease, and water are not absorbed by the surface upon proper treatment. A huge maintenance aid. Lithofin MN Stain-Stop does not change the appearance of the surface and will not enhance the colour. However, it is not suitable for bluestone and other dark granites. We recommend using our water based penetrating sealer Lithofin Stainstop W for these stone types.

- Working in small areas (10 to 15m²) apply Lithofin MN Stain-Stop generously and evenly until the surface appears wet.
- On dense stones: keep wet between 5 and 15 minutes and ensure even distribution. Completely remove all excess – do not allow to dry on the surface if not being absorbed into the stone.
- On highly absorbent stones: keep wet between 5 to 15 minutes and ensure even distribution. After 1 hour, repeat the process. Completely remove all excess –do not allow to dry on the surface if not being absorbed into the stone. Immediately check the whole surface for an even finish. Allow drying for 1 to 2 hours.

- Application Temperature: the temperature of the surface should be between 10°C and 25°C. Switch off underfloor heating.
- Drying Time: After 30-40 min. the surface will be dry and ready to be stepped on. Complete drying process and effectiveness of the impregnation will take approx. 5 days. During this time, do not cover the surface and wipe up any spills immediately.
- Coverage: depends on the absorbency of the stone.
