Use :

1. Cleaning: the surface must be clean, absolutely dry and free of any residue.
   Outdoors, it is necessary to ensure that the stone does not contain harmful salts (nitrates, sulfates, chlorides), as these reduce the absorption capacity of the impregnation.
   After cleaning, rinse very thoroughly with clean water.
   Before the protective treatment, the stone must be absolutely dry, which requires at best a wait of 1 to 2 days.
   The optimal conditions for application are a temperature between 15°C and 25°C and protection from rain for 24 hours.
   The surface must not be heated by underfloor heating or solar radiation.
2. Apply the undiluted product in a thin and even layer with a brush, a damp mop or a sprayer and allow it to penetrate.
3. Remove all excess product with an absorbent cloth approximately 10 to 15 minutes after application.
4. For absorbent surfaces, apply several times wet on wet.
5. It is necessary to ventilate well (approx. 2 to 3 days) when using in the food industry.
6. The tools can be cleaned with AKEMI Nitro Thinner.
7. For routine cleaning, use AKEMI Stone Soap or AKEMI Crystal Clean.
