Frequently asked questions
What Materials can Mattstone be used on?
LTP’s Mattstone is suitable for all types of natural and artificial stone, unglazed porcelain, sandstone, slate, marble, terracotta, quarry, brick & concrete, as an oil-based impregnating sealant.
How do i use Mattstone?
For application and cleaning tools see our Tools Section.
Shake the bottle prior to use. Ensure surface to be treated is completely clean and dry. Apply with a soft cloth, brush or sealant applicator pad allowing at least two hours between coats. More absorbent floors may require further coats and on such floors the product should be generously applied. After one hour rub over the surface with a soft fluff free cloth or buffing machine to obtain a uniform finish and remove any excess sealer. This product will dry
after about two hours, but will take a further three days to become fully resistant. The aim is to completely fill the substrate with sealer without over applying it. Do not apply in direct sunlight. The sealer will help to inhibit oil based stains but such spillages should be wiped up immediately. On rougher surfaced floors it may be prudent to use an appropriate surface sealer as well . Some surfaces may appear delicately enhanced once dry. Use only in well ventilated areas. Do not breathe vapours. Do not use in temperatures under
5°C or over 25°C. FOLLOWING APPLICATION DO NOT ALLOW
SURFACES TO GET WET AND KEEP DRY FOR A MINIMUM OF 3
DAYS. Always test first on an inconspicuous area, prior to general
application.

Does Mattstone come in different sized bottles?
Can Mattstone deteriorate my material?
No, if you follow the instructions provided above and on the bottle correctly then Mattstone will not deteriorate any material.
When should i use Mattstone?
Mattstone should be used on any porous Natural Stone product as an impregnating sealer to stop any liquid from seeping into the face of the stone and potentially staining the stone itself. A good way to test if your Natural Stone product needs sealing/re-sealing, is to flick a small amount of water on to the stone, if it sits on top of the stone it is sealed. If it seeps into the stone, then it will require re-sealing.
