Stone Strengthener

Product Description

Resene Stone Strengthener is a 100% active material that is designed to penetrate deep into friable stone or cementitious materials. Once there it utilises moisture in the air to deposit reinforcing silica into the matrix of the substrate. Ethyl alcohol is given off as a by-product of the reaction.

Typical uses:
- Lightweight concrete
- Oamaru stone
- Sandstone
- Weathered brick
- Weathered plaster.

Performance:
1. Reinforces weak substrates with inert, acid-resistant silica gel.
2. Negligible changes in surface appearance.
3. Low molecular weight for optimum penetration.

Limitations:
1. Releases ethyl alcohol – use only in well-ventilated areas.
2. Will etch glass.
3. Excess material left on the surface should be removed with mineral turps if still wet or ammonia if dried.
