Sealing AND Protecting
Natural stone surfaces must be sealed to prevent or
minimize staining. Leaving natural stone untreated
may greatly hinder the complete removal of stains
in the future. The following sealer suggestions are
for impregnating the stone and will allow the stone
to breathe. Allow new installations to cure for a
minimum of 72 hours prior to applying sealer.
For a natural looking protector on interior
and exterior surfaces:
We recommend two products:

8. Agitate surface with a nylon scrub brush or pad
after testing a small area first to make sure that
brush or pad will not scratch stone. Surface can
be wet with water to enable easier removal of
coating.
This is for scratch, etch and wear pattern removal and
to restore the surface to an even finish. Depending
on the severity of the damage to the stone and/or the
desired surface appearance, we recommend DuPont™
StoneTech® Professional Honing Powders (available
in 180, 280,400, 600 and 800 grit), Polishing Powder

rags and equipment that are wet with product
may be combustible. Clean equipment with
mineral spirits and allow equipment and rags
to dry in a well-ventilated area out of reach of
children and pets. After rags are dry, dispose of in
accordance with local waste disposal regulations
Maintenance Cleaning
Highly alkaline, acidic, ammoniated, abrasive cleaners
and/or bleach may break down the sealer, adversely
affecting repellency and may not be good for the
stone. Use a neutral cleaner specially formulated for
natural stone.
For routine cleaning:
We recommend DuPont™ StoneTech® Professional
Stone & Tile Cleaner.
1. Mix 2 ounces of Stone & Tile Cleaner concentrate
in 1 gallon of warm or hot water. (Note: One
gallon of concentrate makes 64 gallons of cleaning
solution.)
2. Mask off any surfaces not intended to be treated.
2. Apply mixed solution with a damp mop, sponge or
appropriate professional cleaning equipment.
3. Liberally apply an even coat with a paint pad,
paintbrush, paint roller or solvent-resistant,
low-pressure sprayer. Do not thin before using.
3. Clean entire area with mop, changing mop water
often to ensure that soil is not re-deposited. Wipe
or rinse cleaned area.
4. Allow sealer to penetrate the surface for
5–15 minutes; denser material may require more
time for sealer to penetrate. During this time,
distribute excess sealer over entire area to ensure
even penetration.

Sealing AND Protecting
Natural stone surfaces must be sealed to prevent or
minimize staining. Leaving natural stone untreated
may greatly hinder the complete removal of stains
in the future. The following sealer suggestions are
for impregnating the stone and will allow the stone
to breathe. Allow new installations to cure for a
minimum of 72 hours prior to applying sealer.
For a natural looking protector on interior
and exterior surfaces:
We recommend four products:
MARBLE
■ DuPont™ StoneTech® Professional BulletProof®
Sealer, which offers maximum protection against
oil- and water-based stains in a water-based
formula.
GRANITE
■ DuPont™ StoneTech® Professional Heavy Duty
Sealer, which offers heavy duty protection against
oil- and water-based stains in a water-based
formula.

steps 4–6.
8. If excess sealer was not completely wiped off
and a residue appears, wipe entire surface with a
towel dampened with sealer. Use a white nylon
scrubbing pad to loosen residue and follow with
white absorbent towel to remove.
9. Rags and equipment that are wet with product
may be combustible. Clean up promptly after job
is complete. Clean equipment with mineral spirits
and allow to dry in a well-ventilated area. Allow
rags to dry in a well-ventilated area out of the
reach of children and pets. When dry, dispose of in
accordance with local waste disposal regulations.
For natural looking protector on exterior
surfaces:

5–15 minutes; denser material may require more
time for sealer to penetrate. During this time,
distribute excess sealer over entire area to ensure
even penetration.
5. Thoroughly wipe the entire surface with a clean
dry cloth to completely remove all excess sealer
from the surface. DO NOT ALLOW EXCESS
SEALER TO DRY ON THE SURFACE.
6. A second coat may be needed for porous,
absorbent surfaces and should be applied one
hour after initial application as directed in
steps 3–5.
7. If sealer was not completely wiped off and a
residue appears, wipe entire surface with a towel
dampened with sealer. Use a white nylon pad
to loosen residue and follow with a clean, white
absorbent towel to remove.
8. Do not walk on surface for at least 4–6 hours. Full
cure is achieved in 24–72 hours.
9. Clean up promptly after job is complete, since
rags and equipment that are wet with product
may be combustible. Clean equipment with
mineral spirits and allow equipment and rags
to dry in a well-ventilated area out of reach of
children and pets. After rags are dry, dispose of in
accordance with local waste disposal regulations.

allow equipment and rags to dry in a well-ventilated
area out of reach of children and pets. After rags are
dry, dispose of in accordance with local waste disposal
regulations.
Note: High Gloss Lacquer is not recommended for areas
with high moisture intrusion from below the surface,
showers, or countertops.
Maintenance Cleaning
Highly alkaline, acidic, ammoniated, abrasive cleaners and/
or bleach may break down the sealer, adversely affecting
repellency and may not be good for the stone. Use a
neutral cleaner specially formulated for natural stone.
For routine cleaning:
We recommend DuPont™ StoneTech® Professional Stone
& Tile Cleaner.
1. Mix 2 ounces of Stone & Tile Cleaner concentrate in
1 gallon of warm or hot water. (Note: One gallon of
concentrate makes 64 gallons of cleaning solution.)
2. Apply mixed solution with a damp mop, sponge or
appropriate professional cleaning equipment.
3. Clean entire area with mop, changing mop water often
to ensure that soil is not re-deposited. Wipe or rinse
cleaned area.

1. Ensure area is well-ventilated during
application and until the surface is dry. Use
a respirator if unsure that area is wellventilated. A NIOSH-approved respirator
with a combination HEPA/organic vapor
cartridge is recommended. Follow respirator
manufacturer’s instructions for use.
2. Mask any surfaces not intended to be
treated.
3. Liberally apply an even coat using a paint
pad, roller, brush or pump-up garden
sprayer. DO NOT USE A POWER SPRAYER.
See method of application for more
information. Do not thin before using.
4. Allow sealer to penetrate surface for 15–30
minutes; denser stone may require more
time for sealer to penetrate. During this
time, distribute excess sealer over entire
area to ensure even penetration. DO NOT
ALLOW EXCESS IMPREGNATOR PRO® TO
DRY ON SURFACE.
5. Thoroughly wipe entire surface with
dry cloth to remove excess DuPont™
StoneTech® Professional Impregnator Pro®
from surface.
6. A second coat may be needed for more
porous surfaces and should be applied one
hour after initial application, as directed in
steps 3–5.
7. If excess sealer was not completely wiped
off and a residue appears, wipe entire
surface with a towel dampened with sealer.
Use a white nylon scrubbing pad to loosen
residue and follow with white absorbent
towel to remove.
8. Full cure is achieved after 24–72 hours; foot
traffic may begin in 6–8 hours. Cover with
red rosin paper if foot traffic must resume
before the recommended time periods have
passed.
9. Rags and equipment that are wet with
product may be combustible. Clean up
promptly after job is complete. Clean
equipment with mineral spirits and allow to
dry in a well-ventilated area. Allow rags to
dry in a well-ventilated area out of the reach
of children and pets. When dry, dispose
of in accordance with local waste disposal
regulations.
METHOD OF APPLICATION:
DO NOT USE A POWER SPRAYER. Power
sprayers increase exposure hazard. Power
sprayers also create a significant amount of
overspray resulting in wasted product and the
need for additional clean-up. A pump-up garden
sprayer will reduce the potential for overexposure to vapors and produce better results.
For small jobs, use a paint pad, roller or brush.
Trigger spray bottles are not recommended.
Trigger sprayers create overspray and may not
give a uniform application. Better results will
be obtained using a pad, roller or brush.
For larger jobs, use a pump-up garden sprayer
available at your local garden center, hardware
store, or home improvement center.

METHOD OF APPLICATION
For small jobs, use a paint pad, roller, or
brush. For larger jobs, use a pump-up garden
sprayer available at your local garden center,
hardware store, or home improvement
center. Do not use a power sprayer. Power
sprayers create a significant amount of
overspray, resulting in wasted product and
the need for additional clean-up. A pump-up
garden sprayer will reduce the potential for
over-exposure to vapors and produce better
results. Distribute sealer evenly over entire
