Essential Slate Sealer Matt (dry) Finish

PROFESSIONAL PERFORMANCE NATURAL SLATE SEALER

Quick-Drying formula – Forms A Long-Lasting, Matt Look Stain-Resistant Coating!

ESSENTIAL SLATE SEALER MATT (dry) FINISH is a high-performance stone sealer formulated especially for external natural slate surfaces. Also suitable for other porous natural stones such as sandstone and limestone.

ESSENTIAL SLATE SEALER MATT (dry) FINISH provides excellent water repellency and long-lasting protection. Once sealed, the attractive matt finish helps to prevent efflorescence, green growth and algae growth and creates a self-cleaning surface tension that reduces the need for regular maintenance.

The safe, eco-friendly formula imparts excellent water repellency and stain resistance. The unique formula of Essential Slate Sealer Matt (dry) Finish significantly reduces the capillary water absorption of the treated surface but doesn’t clog the pores or capillaries. This significantly reduces the potential for organic soiling and green growth and algae growth, whilst allowing the surface material the ability to “breathe” and transfer moisture vapour.

HOW TO APPLY:

1. Before use, remove any loose debris from the work surface and ensure adequate safety wear, i.e. gloves, suitable protective eyewear, face mask & clothing.
2. Leave the surface for a minimum of 72 hours with clear and dry weather to ensure the surface is completely dry and ready to be sealed. Application temperature range: 13° to 23°C
3. Before application, the surface must be completely clean and dry. Application methods include a low-pressure sprayer, roller, natural fibre brush or sponge.
4. Apply Essential Slate Sealer Matt (dry) Finish, to saturation, two coats “wet on wet” are needed to ensure complete coverage. DO NOT DILUTE. Surface dry after 45-60 minutes. If rain is forecast or starts, then stop treatment immediately and cover the freshly impregnated areas, the surface is required to stay completely dry for the first 6 hours after application.

Please Note: Essential Slate Sealer Matt (dry) Finish may cause a change of colour on some surfaces – always try the product in an inconspicuous area prior to use. Surfaces that are not to be sealed should be protected with masking material. NOT RECOMMENDED FOR USE ON HIGHLY POLISHED, CERAMIC/GLAZED, DENSE OR NON-POROUS SURFACES.

MAINTENANCE:

Clean sealed areas with a mild, ph neutral cleaner or a very low concentration of our outdoor cleaner range. Do not use harsh or abrasive cleaning agents as this can have a negative effect on the treated surface.

COVERAGE:

Apply the Essential Slate Sealer Matt (dry) Finish undiluted, up to 15m² per litre per coat.
