StoneTech Impregnator Pro® Heavy Duty Marble, Granite, Stone, Tile & Grout Sealer
StoneTech® Impregnator Pro Heavy Duty Impregnating Sealer is formulated with advanced, solvent-based new-generation polymerss to provide heavy duty protection to natural stone, tile, grout, marble, granite and other stones against tough oil & water-based stains.
Features and Benefits of Impregnator Pro:
- FDA compliant solvent.
- Because it is advanced-generation polymer based, it repels both water-based and oil-based spills and stains for maximum heavy duty stain protection.
- Easy to use.
- Virtually odorless.
- Preserves natural look - not a surface coating.
- Inhibits efflorescence.
- Deep penetrating protection.
- Interior and exterior use.
- Weather resistant.
- Impregnator Pro has a strong reputation as an excellent solvent based grout and stone sealer.
- Because it is a solvent based sealer, Impregnator Pro uses smaller molecular structures to soak deep into even the most dense non-porous stones like granite.
- Impregnator Pro is generally easier to apply and has a lower risk of hazing up on the surface of the tiles than water-based sealers.
- Impregnator pro dries slower and with less hazing potential than water based sealers.
Impregnator Pro provides heavy duty “natural look” protection for natural stone and grout such as:

How to Use and Apply Impregnator Pro Heavy Duty Penetrating Sealer on stone, marble, granite, tile and grout:
- Keep out of reach of children. Use with good ventilation. No smoking.
- Read label directions and cautions before using.
- Always test in a small hidden or inconspicuous area with a 24-hour cure time to determine ease of application and desired results.
- Allow new grout installations to cure a minimum of 72 hours prior to application.
- Make sure surface is clean, dry and free of waxes and coatings.
- Surface temperature should be between 50°F and 80°F.
- Keep children and pets out of the area until surface use resumes or treated surface is dry.
- Clean surface with StoneTech Klenz-All™ heavy-duty cleaner alkaline cleaner and degreaser for stone. Rinse thoroughly and allow stone to completely dry.
- Mask off and protect any baseboards or adjacent areas to avoid splashing and overspray onto surfaces not intended to be treated.
- Liberally apply an even coat of sealer with a paintbrush, paint roller or solvent-resistant, low-pressure sprayer. DO NOT USE A POWER SPRAYER.
- Allow to penetrate the 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 STONETECH Impregnator Pro TO DRY ON SURFACE.
- Thoroughly wipe entire surface with dry cloth to remove excess Impregnator Pro Sealer from surface.
- For large areas, use a Bonnet.
- A second coat is recommended for porous or absorbent surfaces and should be applied one hour after initial application as directed above.
- Do not walk on surface for at least 4 hours.
- Full cure is achieved after 24–72 hours.
- Surface use may begin in 6-8 hours.
- 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.
- The solvent based technology allows you to quickly and easily wipe up any excess sealer on the tiles without any streaking or hazing issues.
- 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.
- NOTE: Penetrating sealers such as Impregnator Pro provide protection against water or oil borne staining but cannot provide protection against etching.
- We strongly recommend the Stone, Tile & Grout - Cleaning, Restoration & Protection Set of Two Training “How-To” DVDs and the hands-on Stone Class at the Bane-Clene training center.
Proper Care of Stone Protected with Impregnator Pro Heavy Duty Penetrating Sealer:
- To maintain the stone’s natural beauty, clean surface as needed with StoneTech Professional Revitalizer™ or All Purpose Stone & Tile Cleaner.
- Highly alkaline, acidic, ammoniated, or abrasive cleaners are not necessary for daily maintenance and may also degrade the STONETECH sealer used, adversely affecting stain resistance.
- For tough or difficult to remove soil use Klenz-All™ Cleaner, a nylon scrubbing pad or a long handled stiff bristle brush.
- Please note: Prior to using any cleaning material on a tile, stone, etc. installation, test a discrete area or scrap piece of tile to insure desired results.
