Marble Sealer

• Stain prevention
• Surface enhancement
• Prevention of discoloration
• Protection of marble
• Simplified regular maintenance

In an impregnating sealer function by incorporating an "active component," which can be either a natural or synthetic resin, into a liquid solution (carrier), typically water.

• Penetrates deeply into the stone, bonding its protection within the micro-pore structure, allowing for unrestricted vapor transmission through the marble.
• Maintains the natural color and sheen of the marble, preserving its original appearance.
• Does not necessitate reapplication after each cleaning session, providing long-lasting protection.
• Since the sealer does not form a surface coating, it prevents scratching or scuffing, reducing the frequency of reapplication compared to topical sealers.
• Does not cause surfaces to become slippery when wet, ensuring safety and stability.

With a multitude of sealers saturating the market, selecting the ideal one for your marble can be a daunting task. Which sealer offers the best protection, which might fall short, and which aligns perfectly with your marble's unique characteristics? Understanding these distinctions is key to making the right choice for your marble surface.

Impregnating sealers for marble are typically suspended in a liquid carrier, which can be either water or solvent-based. When applied, the sealer is absorbed into the small pores and open fissures just beneath the surface of the marble. As the carrier evaporates, it leaves the sealer behind, which then chemically reacts with the surface pores to create a breathable protective barrier.

An impregnating sealer safeguards your marble surface and grout from absorbing stains, significantly simplifying cleaning and maintenance. Australia's range of impregnating water-based sealers can provide protection for up to 15 years, ensuring long-lasting durability and beauty for your marble surfaces.

Penetrating impregnating transparent sealers penetrate the pores of your marble, and once cured, they maintain the natural look of the stone without altering its appearance.

Fluoro-chemical technology integrated into GOLD represents the pinnacle of advancement in marble sealing technology, offering unparalleled long-term protection against water and oil-based stains. The micro-molecular formula chemically reacts with the pore structure of your marble to form a bond stronger than any other conventional sealer, ensuring superior durability and performance.

Sealing prevents stain-carrying moisture from absorbing into your marble.

For marble stone, solvent-based sealers are typically reserved for extreme cases and are generally not recommended. Water-based sealers, on the other hand, utilize advanced technologies such as nanotechnology and fluoro-polymer technology, making most older solvent-based products obsolete. These modern water-based sealers provide superior protection while preserving the natural beauty of marble.

Solvent-based products often contain harmful fumes that can pose risks to health. When applied, these products may require vacating the property for up to 48 hours. Additionally, solvents can cause damage to property such as skirting boards, doors, paint, and adjacent areas when used on marble surfaces.

• To provide the best possible protection from oil and water-based stains, maintain the appearance and slip resistance of your marble, and prevent damaging moisture from being trapped within the stone, it is recommended to seal your marble with a high-quality, invisible, fully breathable impregnating sealer.

Impregnating sealers for marble stone are effective for both interior and exterior use, including wet areas such as kitchens, bathrooms, laundries, patios, and around swimming pools.

• A penetrating colour enhancing sealer is specifically formulated to enrich and elevate the natural appearance of marble surfaces.
• The Penetrating Colour Enhancer serves as an ideal sealer for marble for two primary reasons. Firstly, it acts as an impregnating sealer, penetrating deeply into the pores of marble, thereby offering long-lasting and durable protection against embedded dirt and stains. Secondly, it contains color-intensifying properties that enhance the inherent colors and veining patterns present in the marble, accentuating its natural beauty.

Pre-Sealing Preparation for Marble:

1. Ensure that the surface to be sealed is clean and appears as desired before sealing. Stains may become permanent after sealing, necessitating the removal of the sealer. Avoid using acidic cleaners on marble as they can cause damage.

2. Marble must be free of any other coatings, such as wax or topical sealers, before applying a new sealer. Remove any existing coating prior to sealing.

3. The marble floor must be completely dry before applying most sealers to ensure optimal adhesion and effectiveness.

The number of coats required for marble will vary based on its porosity, with a second or third coat of sealer potentially necessary. Once sealed, the marble will resist all staining, and if a stain is promptly wiped away within a reasonable timeframe, there will be no evidence of any mark on the surface of the stone.

Impregnating penetrating sealants effectively penetrate into the marble substrate, saturating the microscopic pores and open fissures inherent in its natural texture. A clear impregnating sealer preserves the original look and feel of your sealed marble, without impacting its ability to release vapor. Moreover, it offers superior durability compared to film-forming sealers.

• Longevity: Protection is contained within the substrate, not just on the surface.
• UV Resistance: Not affected by UV light, making it great for both outdoor and indoor use.
• Breathability: Allows the stone to 'breathe,' enabling retained moisture to escape.
• Safety: The surface does not become slippery.
• Durability: Improves

Unsealed marble surfaces are highly porous and susceptible to permanent staining from everyday spills. Sealing is important if you want to protect your marble against unwanted staining and deterioration.

If you have a marble tiled floor, you will know that it absorbs liquids quickly, making it vulnerable to potential stains.

Topical sealers

Topical sealers are applied to create a protective gloss sheen on the surface of stone and masonry, while penetrating sealers are designed to infiltrate the surface of marble, safeguarding the walls of each individual pore within the marble structure.



When it comes to topical sealers for marble stone, there are some drawbacks to consider:

• Frequent Reapplication: Topical sealers often necessitate regular reapplication to maintain their effectiveness, which can become a time-consuming task.
• Complete Removal Required: Before reapplication, the existing sealer must be entirely removed, adding extra effort and potential costs to the maintenance process.
• Limited Breathability: Marble needs to breathe to regulate moisture content effectively. Topical sealers can inhibit this natural process, trapping moisture within the stone and potentially leading to issues like efflorescence or discoloration over time.
• Susceptible to Damage: The glossy film created by topical sealers is prone to scratching and scuffing, diminishing the aesthetic appeal of the marble surface.
• Increased Slipperiness: The shiny surface resulting from topical sealers can pose a slip hazard, especially when the marble is wet, requiring additional precautions for safety.
• Color Alteration: Some topical sealers may alter the color of the marble, affecting its natural appearance and potentially clashing with the intended design aesthetic.

The primary function of a stone sealer for marble is to impart stain resistance to this naturally porous stone.

Red wine, oil, and grease, especially, can cause damage to marble that may require heavy resurfacing machinery to fully remove. While sealing marble won't completely prevent liquids from penetrating it, it will provide you with a window of time to clean spills before permanent staining sets in.

Cleaning and maintaining marble flooring can become more challenging if left unsealed, as surface contaminants will readily penetrate the porous structure of marble, making them tough to remove.

It is highly recommended to apply a deep-penetrating impregnating sealer to marble floors after installation to ensure long-lasting protection and resistance against stains.
