Natural Stone Sealer with Colour Enhancing Effect
Protective impregnating sealer to enhance the colour of Natural Stone
Smartseal Indian Sandstone Sealer and Natural Stone Sealer is a high quality, clear, solvent free acrylic impregnating coating system. Application of the sealer will alter the chemical structure of the porous sandstone or natural stone providing a excellent water repellent and stain resistant surface.

- Resistant to algae, lichen and staining

**Exceptions to Sandstone suitability:

PREPARATION: Due to the effects of Efflorescence and Natural Salts and Minerals, that can permeate through Natural Stone, it is recommended not to seal for a minimum 4 months after installation.
Prior to application of sandstone sealer or natural stone sealer ensure surfaces to be sealed are clean, dry and free from contamination. If algae or stains are present pre-treat prior to cleaning with an appropriate cleaning product.
**If applied to a surface where a "sweep-in" pointing compound has been used within the last 6 months, the natural stone must be fully cleaned with Smartseal Residue Remover prior to sealant application.**
APPLICATION: A suitable pressure sprayer or roller is recommended taking care to avoid any pooling. Application on all substrates should be to full saturation and on vertical surfaces commence at the bottom and work upwards.
Remove any excess after approx 30 - 40 minutes.
- For best results, apply one coat to saturation, and once touch dry (normally around 45 min), apply a second coat "wet on wet" (which means before the 1st coat has totally dried)
- Do not apply in damp conditions
- Application temperature range: 15° to 23°C
- Shake container well before use.
All equipment should be cleaned with water immediately after use.
SHELF LIFE: Store away from direct sunlight and sources of heat. Protect from frost.
12 months (in original sealed container).
Q: What sealer would be best to use on a granite hearth please
A: The solvent based natural stone impregnator woould be the best product to use on a granite hearth. Any solvent free sealer would find it hard to pebnetrate into the dense granite substrate.
Q: How long after washing my sandstone patio with your xtreme cleaner can I seal it. We did not use a jet wash but we have had some rain showers on and off. How would we know if its dry enough to apply your colour enhancer sealer. Thank you
A: The surface of the patio just needs to be dry after using the xtreme patio cleaner. 2-3 days after cleaning should be more than sufficient for any natural stone patio to be dry enought to seal with the natural stone sealer.
Q: I applied the colour enhancer to my Indian sandstone yesterday, with no rain forecast. I applied at 4pm and and it started raining at 5am this morning. When I saw some milky puddling in the natural rivens I soaked up with towels to ensure the milky puddles did not dry. Will it be ok, or is there anything else I should do. The majority of the patio looks fine.
A: Hopefully the milky residue will dry out within a few days. If this is not the case, please get in touch.

Used Xtreme cleaner on my patio could not believe the result cleaned it like new (and it was black/green) thought I would seal it with colour enhancer again could not believe the result have colours I didnt know I had better than new, contacted the company with a couple of questions and spoke to a friendly and knowledgeable human being brilliant!! Could not recommend this company and products used highly enough
I used the colour enhancer on a newly built drive comprising black granite setts, grey granite blocks, polished and flamed silver granite blocks and limestone setts, and what was previously a bland uniform grey hued coloured drive has been transformed into a well defined colour enhanced spectacle. Very pleased with the results. I tried it on some grey granite planks, but it had no effect whatsoever so I'll be using another product.
I chose Smartseal mainly because they came top of all the reviews for patio sealants. Great choice of products and advised me on the correct sealant for my Indian sandstone multi coloured slabs . Went for the colour enhancer sealer to highlight the different colours and patterns. Absolutely delighted with the end finish, would highly recommend these guys,they know everything about surface finishes.
