How well does Stone Protective Silane resist stains such as water, oil, stains, etc.?
Publish Time: 2024-11-06
Stone Protective Silane is a common stone surface treatment agent whose main function is to enhance the stone's waterproof, oil-proof and stain-proof properties.
1. Waterproof performance
One of the primary functions of Stone Protective Silane is to provide superior waterproofing properties. Silane molecules can penetrate into the micropores of stone and form a hydrophobic layer. This hydrophobic layer can effectively prevent moisture from penetrating into the interior of the stone, reduce expansion and contraction caused by moisture, and prevent cracks and peeling of the stone. In addition, the waterproof performance can protect the internal structure of the stone and extend its service life.
2. Oil-proof performance
Stone Protective Silane also has good protective properties against greasy substances (such as engine oil, cooking oil, etc.). An oleophobic layer is formed on the surface of the stone after silane treatment, making it difficult for oil to adhere to the surface of the stone. This is especially important for areas that are easily exposed to grease, such as kitchen countertops and restaurant floors, reducing cleaning frequency and maintenance costs.
3. Anti-stain performance
Stone Protective Silane can significantly improve the stain resistance of stone. Whether it's common beverage, coffee stains, or other chemicals, silane-treated stone surfaces are resistant to the penetration of these contaminants. Once contaminants come into contact with the stone surface, due to its hydrophobic and oleophobic properties, the contaminants can be easily removed without leaving permanent stains inside the stone.
4. Durability
Stone Protective Silane is generally more durable and can maintain its protective effect for a long time. High-quality silane treatment agents can resist a variety of environmental factors such as ultraviolet rays, weathering, temperature changes, and chemical corrosion, keeping the stone surface intact. However, the protective layer may gradually wear away over time, requiring periodic maintenance and recoating.
5. Breathability and water vapor permeability
Although the stone surface treated with Stone Protective Silane is waterproof and oil-proof, it still maintains a certain degree of breathability and water vapor permeability. This means that the moisture inside the stone can be slowly discharged through the stone surface, reducing internal stress and preventing the growth of mold and bacteria, thereby keeping the stone dry and healthy.
6. Environmental protection
High-quality Stone Protective Silane treatments are generally non-toxic, harmless and meet environmental standards. The use of silane treatment can not only improve the protective properties of stone, but also reduce the use of chemical cleaners and reduce the negative impact on the environment.
7. Easy to apply and low maintenance
Stone Protective Silane treatment is generally easy to apply, usually just spreading it evenly over the stone surface and waiting for it to penetrate and cure. Due to its durability and protective effect, the treated stone only needs regular cleaning and partial repair in daily maintenance, which greatly reduces the maintenance workload and cost.
Stone Protective Silane has excellent performance in resisting water, oil, stains and other contamination, which can significantly improve the service life and beauty of stone. By providing a protective layer that repels water, oil and stains, silane treatments protect stone from the elements while maintaining its natural breathability and environmental friendliness.
