NewPro-Nano StonePlus with Graffiti Protection for absorbent Stone Surfaces

About the Product

Open porous stone surfaces react sensitively to grease, oil and other dirt and grime deposits, which can easily permeate these surfaces. The raw surfaces absorb dirt and grime, which cause unattractive and optically visible spots and stains. Even with intense cleaning, these kinds of stubborn stains cannot be removed. Therefore, a long-lasting dirt repellent protection of these surfaces is needed. The hydrophobic / oleophobic coating such as our NewPro- Nano StonePlus with Antigraffiti Protection was conceived so that the accumulation of dirt and grime is reduced and the damage caused by environmental impact is avoided. As a result of the hydrophobic / oleophobic effect of the protective coating, dirt and grime particles such as grease and oily substances, chalk and substances from the environmental impact can no longer permeate and be absorbed by the stone surface. Dirt particles are easy to remove, without the need for abrasive cleaning solvents or cleaning devices. Due to the inorganic network, the coating is extremely durable. Our product line of special products allows a simple hygienic and environmentally safe cleaning of the stone surface coated with NewPro-Nano StonePlus with Antigraffiti Protection.

Product Description

NewPro-Nano StonePlus with Antigraffiti Protection comes dissolved in water and ready to use. With the application of the coating, nanoscale particles bond with the surface structure. Through a chemical reaction in which silicon functional groups form a firm bond with the stone surface and give the stone surface a long lasting protective effect. Other functional groups lead to strongly distinctive hydro- and oleophobic properties, which correspond to easy care and maintenance.

The special advantage of NewPro-Nano StonePlus with Antigraffiti Protection lies in the chemical reaction transverse cross-linking. This transverse cross-linking achieves a pronounced sturdy two and three-dimensional network chemical structure.

A coating of a stone surface, which has already been treated with silicon or acrylic products, does not allow NewPro-Nano StonePlus with Antigraffiti Protection to take effect because the nano coating cannot effectively permeate the stone surface.

Range of Application and Use

NewPro-Nano StonePlus with Antigraffiti Protection can be applied to interior or exterior as well as horizontal surfaces. Due to its formulation, NewPro-Nano StonePlus with Antigraffiti Protection is suitable for absorbent silica based stone surfaces. It can, therefore, be successfully applied as a dirt-deflecting, UV-stable coating to the following stone surfaces:

• Brick and concrete blocks
• Concrete stone
• Marble
• Natural stone such as sandstone
• Stone Panels
• Terracotta.

The product can also be applied to floors and wall coverings, building facades, functional terracotta or roofing tiles. The stone surfaces also maintain their breathing properties after coating. NewPro-Nano StonePlus with Antigraffiti Protection covers a wide range of applications. For this reason, we recommend that a test to the surface be carried out to determine the suitability for the intended purpose. The surface coating should be applied immediately after the preparation and pre-cleaning of the surface and should no longer be touched.

We offer an efficient after-care and maintenance program for surfaces coated with NewPro-Nano StonePlus with Antigraffiti Protection. Damage to the NewPro-Nano StonePlus with Antigraffiti Protection protective surface coating can always be repaired.

Procedural Instructions for Use

Surface preparation/pre-cleaning: All surfaces should be grease, oil and dust particle free, dry and sustainable.Large and rough dirt or soiling and lose particles, as usual, should be thoroughly removed. In the event of extreme soiling or dirt, repeat this step again.

NewPro Nano StonePlus with Antigraffiti Protection comes ready to use and apply. We recommend that the product be applied using a spraying device. The best results are achieved using an HVLP-nozzle. Very small spray droplets can be achieved using this nozzle. An application to freshly formed and still wet substrates is likewise possible. NewPro-Nano StonePlus with Antigraffiti Protection can be applied using an industrial spraying device or manually spraying the stone surface.

Application (Manual Spraying): Prior to application, the surface, which is to be coated, must be completely cleaned, dry and free of grease. For large surfaces, NewPro-Nano StonePlus with Antigraffiti Protection should be applied in a square meter fashion. For manual spraying, make sure that the surface coating is sprayed twice (wet on wet). Depending upon the porosity of the substrate, it may also be necessary that the procedure be repeated.

An even, material-saving application of the product can be achieved using air pressure or an electrically operated spraying device. Stone surfaces should be sprayed and dampened with fine material mist. The formation of a puddle on the substrate, should, however, be avoided.

1. Evenly spray NewPro-Nano StonePlus with Antigraffiti Protection to the surface. Immediately after contact NewPro-Nano StonePlus with Antigraffiti Protection permeates the pores of the surface.

2. Leave the coated surface to dry for 2 - 5 minutes.

3. Remove or even spread any leftover material, if necessary, using a lamb skin roll.

Notice: NewPro-Nano StonePlus with Antigraffiti Protection can be applied to a wide variety of surfaces. For this reason, we recommend that a test be applied to the surface in order to determine the suitability of the product for its intended purpose. The surface should be coated immediately subsequent to pre-cleaning and the pre-coated surface should not be touched by hands.

Mixing Instructions: NewPro-Nano StonePlus with Antigraffiti Protection comes ready to use dissolved in water and can be directly applied to the surface. A mixture with foreign substances has a negative effect on the product properties as well as the life of the product and the applied protective surface coating.

Further instructions regarding application techniques: Along with spraying, the product can be applied using immersion, painting or application using a lambskin roll. But, usually using these applications methods one can expect to need a large amount of product material.

Curing Times:

• Several minutes after application NewPro-Nano StonePlus with Antigraffiti Protection stabilizes to the point that it can be walked on with clean and soft shoes.

Complete curing is achieved with a dry substrate between 12-24 hours (area temperature of +20°Celsius). At other temperatures, there may be a variation in curing times.

Use:

• The use of material depends on the absorbency of the substrate and lies between 30 to 200 ml/m².
  1 liter of material can coat a surface from 5 to 30 m².

An exact amount of material use should be determined using a coating test to the surface.

Care Instruction

Improvement and New Surface Coatings: The quality of the surface protection is designed to last for many years. In the event that this is not the case, and the surface protective coating shows signs of damage after longer use, this can be repaired using NewPro-Nano Active Protection-Stone.

Cleaning and Maintenance of the Coated Surface:

Thanks to the extraordinary ease of care NewPro-Nano StonePlus with Antigraffiti Protection offers, a clean and maintained surface appearance can be achieved without the need for aggressive cleaners and abrasive cleaning machines. Surfaces coated with NewPro-Nano StonePlus with Antigraffiti Protection remain unchanged in their structure and color, homogeneous and stabile and as a result are resistant against all usual household acids and leachates. Therefore, NewPro-Nano StonePlus with Antigraffiti Protection offers an effective protection against graffiti. For routine maintenance, we recommend the use of a soft, non-abrasive sponge or towel and the NewPro-Surface Cleaner. For strong soiling, dirt and grime, we always recommend the use of NewPro-Combo Cleaner (ratio 1: 30). For NewPro-Nano StonePlus with Antigraffiti Protection surface protection we also offer an efficient after-care maintenance program.

Caution: The application of very aggressive cleaning solvents, such as scouring milk or scouring powder cleaners, highly concentrated drain cleaners, polishes, fixture and steel cleaners as well as powder bathroom cleaners, which can damage the surface coating, should be absolutely avoided. Surfaces damaging scouring cleaning machines are also not to be used. The quality of the surface protection is designed to last for many years. If this is not the case and the surface protective coating shows signs of damage after long use, this can be repaired using NewPro-Nano Aktive Protection (refreshener/refurbisher).
