Water repellents are chemicals that are used to reduce the water absorption surface. They allow the formation of a protective hydrophobic layer on the surface that repels moisture and other liquids.
Stone, being a porous material, can easily absorb moisture, which can lead to porosity, degradation, and various problems such as frost, higher temperatures, pollution, etc. The use of water repellents helps to avoid these negative effects, while maintaining the natural appearance of the stone and increasing its resistance to water and dirt.
Such products can be used on different types of stone, such as granite, marble, limestone, sandstone and others. It is important to note that there are many different types of water repellents depending on the chemical composition and properties. When choosing a hydrofobizer for a stone, it is necessary to pay attention to its purpose, possibilities of use, manufacturer's recommendations and compatibility with a certain type of stone.
The use of water repellents for stone can be done by application methods such as painting, applying protective impregnations or using special coatings. Some of the hydrophobic agents may also be suitable for indoor use, such as protecting stone floors or walls in wet areas.
Before using the hydrofobizer, it is recommended to thoroughly clean the surface of the stone from dirt and dust in order to ensure better adhesion to the surface. For the correct use and selection of a hydrofobaser, it is best to contact specialists or manufacturers who will provide appropriate advice and instructions.
The use of water repellents helps to keep the stone in good condition, reduce the effect of moisture and pollution and increase its duration.
Which hydrofobizer to choose for a stone?
An excellent option for impregnating stone and protecting it from destruction is Tenosil, which is produced on the basis of a solvent. After applying the material, a transparent protective film will be formed on the stone, which will protect it from environmental influences, including water, alkalis and ultraviolet rays. In addition, Teknosil will also make the stone surface stronger at times.
