In response to demand for products that care for the environment as well as stone, Lithofin has invested in research and development in this area and has added Lithofin MN Stain-Stop ECO to the product range – an ecologically friendly impregnator for natural stone.

Lithofin MN Stain-Stop ECO represents the next generation in water-based protective treatments, optimised for porous natural stone surfaces (such as limestone) and offering the best protection against both water- and oil-borne stains.

The combination of highly active ingredients has been formulated to allow for fast and easy penetration into the stone surface, which also makes Lithofin MN Stain-Stop ECO easy and safe to apply.

High quality components combined with deep penetration lead to an excellent water and oil repellent surface without altering the chemical properties of the natural stone – which means acid sensitive stone will remain sensitive to acidic substances.

Lithofin MN Stain-Stop ECO causes almost no colour intensification, so the natural beauty of light-coloured natural stone is not diminished.

This water-based impregnator is free of any organic solvents and meets the increased awareness for environmental and climatic protection.

Since water-based products are also nearly odourless and do not emit any hazardous substances, application is safer and more pleasant for installers.

Use of the correct maintenance products for natural stone is essential for the longevity of the sealants and impregnators that have been used to protect them, and ensures the stone remains protected and in good condition. Damage can occur to a stone finish if an inappropriate maintenance product is used.

Lithofin MN Wash & Clean is a new generation product for cleaning natural stone floors. It can be used on all natural stones with all finishes (such as honed and polished). It is a high yield concentrate that contains active maintenance components and mildly alkaline cleaning agents.

These cleaning agents are specifically designed to support and enhance the effect of protective treatments and leave stone beautifully clean and fresh.

For deeper cleaning there is Lithofin MN Power Clean, which can be used diluted with water and used with a white emulsifying pad to remove slightly more ingrained contamination and any efflorescence build up that might have occurred.
