Open or Close What is the recommended field of application for VP Stoneware 1K Pro?
This nanocoating system is specially developed for use on high-density ceramic/stoneware surfaces, granite, and marble in industrial and trade settings. It imparts hydrophobic, oleophobic, and soil-repellent properties to the surfaces, making cleaning easier and preventing adhesion of grease and environmental pollutants.
Open or Close What is the composition of VP Stoneware 1K Pro?
VP Stoneware 1K Pro primarily consists of SiO2 dissolved in ethanol, making it highly flammable.
Open or Close How is VP Stoneware 1K Pro applied?
VP Stoneware 1K Pro is a ready-to-use solution and should not be diluted. Prior to application, surfaces must be thoroughly cleaned and free from soil, grease, dust, and residues of cleaning agents. Application is typically done through wiping, with the option for subsequent polishing for a glossy finish.
Open or Close What are the storage recommendations for VP Stoneware 1K Pro?
The product should be stored at temperatures between -5°C to +30°C. An unopened container has a shelf life of at least 2 years, while opened containers should be used within 6 months.
Open or Close How long does VP Stoneware 1K Pro take for curing?
Once applied, VP Stoneware 1K Pro dries within 24 hours at ambient temperature (20°C/rH65%). Hardening can be accelerated with additional warmth.
Open or Close How much VP Stoneware 1K Pro is required for application?
The consumption depends on the application technique, typically ranging from 5 to 10 ml per square meter.
Open or Close How should surfaces treated with VP Stoneware 1K Pro be cleaned and maintained?
Surfaces treated with VP Stoneware 1K Pro can be cleaned with water and mild cleaners with a pH of 5 to 7. The durability of the surface protection depends on the type and frequency of cleaning and care.
Open or Close Are there any important considerations or precautions when using VP Stoneware 1K Pro?
It's essential to use only cleaning agents suitable for the surface. Additionally, due to the raw materials used, slight color changes may occur, which are typically batch-related and not grounds for complaint.
