ECOPROTEC Colour Enhancing Sealer

ECOPROTEC Colour Enhancing Sealer is a high-performance, water-based impregnating sealer designed to protect natural and artificial stone while enhancing its natural colour and character.

Rather than creating an artificial surface coating, the sealer penetrates into the material to provide lasting protection while producing an enhanced natural finish. It is ideal for bringing out the depth, richness and appearance of stone, concrete and other suitable paving materials.

Once applied, ECOPROTEC Colour Enhancing Sealer strongly repels water, oil and grease, helping protect surfaces against everyday staining and contamination. This makes it particularly useful for patios, pathways, paved areas and other surfaces where both appearance and long-term protection are important.

The breathable formulation allows moisture vapour to escape from within the surface. In addition, it helps reduce efflorescence while maintaining the natural characteristics of the treated material.

Protect and Enhance Natural Stone

Natural stone can lose some of its visual depth when dry. ECOPROTEC Colour Enhancing Sealer is designed to enrich the appearance of the material, helping highlight its natural colour, texture and individual characteristics.

At the same time, the impregnating formulation provides valuable protection against water, oil, grease and staining without preventing the surface from breathing.

Suitable Surfaces

ECOPROTEC Colour Enhancing Sealer is suitable for a wide range of surfaces, including:

• Natural stone
• Artificial stone
• Concrete paving
• Quarry tiles
• Brick
• Honed stone
• Rough-cut stone
• Flamed stone
• Brushed stone

It is particularly suitable where a richer, enhanced natural appearance is preferred rather than leaving the stone with its original untreated colour.

Breathable Impregnating Protection

Because this is an impregnating sealer, the treatment penetrates into the surface rather than simply forming a coating on top.

The breathable formulation allows moisture vapour to escape while providing strong resistance to water and common contaminants. It can also help reduce the appearance and development of efflorescence.

Available Sizes

• 1 Litre
• 5 Litres

For projects where the natural beauty of stone or paving deserves to be highlighted as well as protected, ECOPROTEC Colour Enhancing Sealer provides an effective combination of colour enhancement, stain resistance and breathable protection.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE

• Preparation: Ensure surface to be treated is completely clean, dry, and free from dirt, grime, cement, and grout. First wash surfaces with a dilute solution of ECOPROTEC Intensive Cleaner 1:5 and scrub with a nylon scrubbing pad or deck brush. Rinse well with water and a hose to remove any released residues and leave to dry (24hrs).
• Application: Shake bottle before use. Apply evenly using foam roller, paint brush or light pressure sprayer. On more absorbent surfaces apply further coats at hourly intervals until the surface is fully saturated. On vertical surfaces always apply from the bottom up and wipe up any drips if they occur. Do not use when surfaces are very cold or very hot. Ideally between 5 – 25°C.

Always test on a small area before general application to help establish best method and optimum number of coats required.

Coverage: M2 Per Coat

	1 Litre	5 Litres
Lower porosity surfaces	15m²	75m²
Higher porosity surfaces	7.5m²	37.5m²
Polished surfaces	30m²	150m²

Storage Information

Store in a cool, dry, frost-free environment. Store locked up. Shelf Life – Up to 2 years for un-opened containers.

Other

Empty containers are recyclable. Active ingredients are water soluble and inert once cured. On higher porosity materials sufficient sealer should be applied until treated surfaces are fully saturated. Saturation has normally been achieved when an even layer of sealer is still visible on the surface after 20 minutes. Leave it to dry. Do not use in temperatures under 5°C or over 25°C. Clean application tools and brushes with water after use.

Health, Safety & Environmental

Keep out of reach of children. Dispose of contents/container to a licensed waste centre in accordance with local/regional/national/international regulations.
