DuPont StoneTech® Professional Puts Science to Work in Reformulating Stone and Tile Products

Impregnator Pro® and Enhancer Pro™ Reformulated to Improve Ease of Use

DuPont StoneTech® Professional scientists have reformulated Impregnator Pro® and Enhancer Pro™ to provide improved ease of use on a variety of natural stone & tile. The new Enhancer Pro™ formula leaves less residue and is easier to clean-up.

Impregnator Pro® and Enhancer Pro™ can be used on interior and exterior stone and masonry surfaces. Both are formulated with advanced DuPont fluorochemicals to protect against the toughest oil- and water-based stains. They are easy to use, penetrate deep into stone and provide a highly effective water, stain and oil barrier.

Both new products also feature a new fragrance. “This scent serves as a signal to encourage a well-ventilated work area,” said Bella Cenzano-Fong, PhD, DuPont Formulation Lab Manager. “It’s a good reminder to open a door or a window.”

Impregnator Pro® provides heavy-duty, “natural look” protection for a wide range of stone types, including granite, marble, limestone, travertine, slate, sandstone, saltillo, porcelain, ceramic tile and grout.

Enhancer Pro™ provides heavy-duty color-enhancing protection for stone such as granite, marble, limestone, travertine, slate, sandstone, saltillo, masonry, brick, flamed stone, tumbled stone, and textured stone.

“Our team of scientists has made improvements in Impregnator Pro® and Enhancer Pro® as well as in our water-based products, BulletProof® and Heavy Duty Sealer, to deliver better performance on stone and tile and easier use,” said Cathy Hampton, General Manager for the DuPont StoneTech™ business. “Whether using solvent- or water-based products, DuPont StoneTech™ offers the most effective products on the market today for protecting and enhancing stone.”

All of these new products are available now through national distributors and dealers offering StoneTech™ Professional products.
