Stone, Tile and Concrete

Give lasting protection to your paints and to porous surfaces like stone, tile and concrete. 

Stone and tile treatments -
 Zonyl® fluoroadditives give outstanding stain protection of porous mineral based surfaces such as marble, unglazed tile, and grout. Zonyl® 8740, 9027, 9338, 9977 and 321 can be diluted in water to create penetrating sealers for natural stone (e.g., limestone, granite), porous tile, grout, and masonry. Zonyl® 210 and 225 can be diluted in solvents for protection. These products provide oil- and water-repellent treatments that resist staining without changing the natural appearance of the substrate. Typical use levels are 5-8product by weight in water. Zonyl® 8740 and 9027 may also be diluted in ethanol to make solvent-based sealers.  Zonyl® 9361 can be added to aqueous siloxane water repellents to impart oil repellency and improve stain resistance.
