A special LITHOFIN product developed for professional use. This high performance solvent based impregnator enhances the natural colour of stone and leaves a deep and vibrant finish. The protective treatment further produces a water and oil repellent effect.
Properties
Lithofin FVE is liquid, colourless, ready-to-use, dries quickly and is easy to use. The treatment does not form any layers and does not produce gloss. The active ingredients are resistant towards household chemicals and the treatment withstands temperatures of up to 200°C.
Effectiveness: the active ingredients are transported into the stone’s surface via organic solvents. After the solvents have evaporated, the active ingredients form a film inside the pores of the stone and cure completely.
The colour of the stone is enhanced to its maximum while the natural structure is maintained. The water, oil and grease repellent effect prevents staining.
Technical Data:
Density: approx.0.9 g/cm³
Flashpoint: approx. 23°C (c.C)
Appearance: colourless
Odour: aromatic
Field of Use
Protects natural stone and enhances the appearance by intensifying the natural colour and accentuating the strucure. Suitable for kitchen bench tops, counters, vanity tops, window sills, table tops and similar small surfaces.
Surfaces: ideally suited for dark natural stone such as Nero Assoluto, Impala, etc. with polished, honed or brushed surfaces.
Please Note: not recommended for large surfaces (floors).
Directions for Use
The surface to be treated must be completely dried out, clean and free of stains. The surface temperature must be between 10 and 25°C. Always test the product on a cutoff to establish the required product quantity and to evaluate the effect.
Application tools: (wide) soft bristled brush, absorbent cloths, melamine pads.
Shake conatiner prior to use. Evenly apply Lithofin FVE undiluted working cross-wise. Allow the product to draw into the surface (approx. 10 min. at 20°C). This process takes longer in lower temperatures and is faster in higher temperatures. Do not allow the product to dry on the surface, add more if required. Remove the excess product from the surface and towel dry. In order to achieve the optimal surface finish, rub the surface down with a melamine pad. Allo to dry for at least one hour.
Please Note: glass, ceramics and surfaces sensitive to solvents (wood, lcquer, etc.) must be protected. Tools can be cleaned with thinner.
Coverage: up to 40m² per litre on polished surfaces, up to 20m² on honed and brushed surfaces.
Drying time: stone can be handled and transported (without packaging) after one hour (at 20°C). The full protective effect sets in after three days.
Durability
The protective effect lasts for several years. Mechanical strain may cause the surface to become lighter. Through regular maintenance with Lithofin MN Easy-Clean the effect can be prolonged almost indefinetly.
Please Note: wipe up any spills immediately. Avoid using strong degreasing or layerforming products.
