Q: What are the main differences between the different Stone Sealer products?
A: The two main products that fabricators use are Stone Sealer #1 and Stone Sealer Concentrate which are both solvent based impregnating silicone polymers which is the industry standard type of sealer that has been used for decades.
The difference between the products is that Stone Sealer Concentrate is twice the strength of Stone Sealer #1 which means that two coats of Stone Sealer Concentrate is exactly the same as four coats of Stone Sealer #1. Fabricators use both stone sealant products for all types of natural stone including Marble, Granite, Slate, Limestone and Terrazzo. Two coats of Stone Sealer #1 is normally adequate protection for most types of natural stone but when the fabricator knows he has a very porous stone or it is going to be installed in a high traffic area then the Stone Sealer Concentrate will be used. Both of these products leave a natural finish (no gloss) and after they are cured they do not affect the appearance of the natural stone surface.
When a wet look (low-medium gloss finish) is required then Stone Enhancer #1 can be applied over the top of any of the sealer products after they have cured which is normally 24 hours. Stone Enhancer #1 cannot be applied to unsealed natural stone because it is a topical finish and on unsealed stone it will be drawn into the interior of the stone. This two step process is the preferred method to achieving a wet look, however, exactly the same effect can be achieved in a single step by using Stone Sealer #5 which is a combination of Stone Sealer #1 and Stone Enhancer #1 in a single bottle. Stone Sealer #6 is the water based version.
Stone Sealer #4 is also a solvent based impregnating silicone polymer, but it contains a citrus base as opposed to the petroleum distillate contained in all of the above products. Stone Sealer #4 will provide similar stain protection to Stone Sealer Concentrate and it is designed to leave a natural finish, however, some fabricators claim that it provides a small enhancing effect particularly on slate.
When it is not possible to use the above solvent based products due to environmental constraints, limited or enclosed working areas or personal choice then a water based sealer must be used. Stone Sealer #2 is a water based impregnating sealers. Stone Sealer #2 is a silicone polymer and a cousin to all of the above sealers which have wide industrial acceptance. As a general rule water based sealers do not perform as well as solvent based sealers particularly under abuse conditions.
