Stoneprotect SP5000 Ready 2 Use Concrete & Stone Driveway, Patio, & Paver Sealer

Stoneprotect SP5000 is designed for **absorbent natural and engineered stones**, including:

• **Concrete, Pavers, and Brick**
• **Sandstone, Limestone, Travertine, and Granite**
• **Marble, Terrazzo, and Porous Tiles**

It is ideal for **driveways, patios, pool decks, walkways, and facades**. Ensure the surface is **absorbent** before application.

To check if your surface is absorbent and suitable for Stoneprotect SP5000 Professional, perform this simple **water absorption test**:

Drop Test: Pour a few drops of water onto the surface and observe:

• 1-15 seconds: Highly absorbent – SP5000 fully penetrates, achieving the best possible effect inside.
• 30 seconds - 1.5 minutes: Moderately absorbent – SP5000 penetrates well and provides good protection, but may require a shorter reapplication interval.
• 2-3 minutes: Low absorbency – SP5000 will not penetrate deeply but still provides decent protection, requiring more frequent reapplication.
• Water beads up: Non-absorbent – Not suitable for this sealer.

We recommend calculating the amount of Stoneprotect SP5000 based on the absorbency of your surface. To determine this, try this simple **absorbency test**:

• Highly absorbent: Water absorbs in **1-15 seconds**.
• Moderately absorbent: Water absorbs in **45 seconds - 1.5 minutes**.
• Slow absorbent: Water absorbs in **2-3 minutes**.
• Non-absorbent: Water forms droplets and does not absorb – **not suitable for sealing**.

Coverage estimates per **1.32 Gal (5L)**:

• **Highly absorbent surfaces:** 200 sqft per coat.
• **Moderately absorbent surfaces:** 300-400 sqft per coat.
• **Slow absorbent surfaces:** 500-600 sqft per coat.

For best results, apply **two "wet-on-wet" coats**.

Stoneprotect SP5000 Professional provides **dual-layer protection**—penetrating deep inside the stone while also creating a **temporary surface effect**:

• Surface Protection (Water Beading Effect): The visible beading effect typically lasts **4-8 months** before gradually wearing off due to weather and usage.
• Deep Penetration Protection: The essential protection **inside the stone** lasts **4-7 years**, depending on factors such as **surface type, weather exposure, and foot or vehicle traffic**.

Yes, but only if the previous sealer was also **Stoneprotect SP5000**. If a different product was used, it must be fully removed first, as other sealers may prevent proper bonding.

Yes! Our **advanced nanotechnology** creates a dual protection to prevent water and dirt to penetrate into the stone.

Yes! It is suitable for **absorbent, open-pored unsealed facades**, such as plaster, natural stone, and concrete walls.

Stoneprotect SP5000 is a **sealer, not an algaecide**. It does not remove existing green deposits but **prevents future buildup** for a long time.

Store in a **cool, frost-free place** with the container tightly sealed. Shake well before use. **Shelf life: up to 2 years**.
