Satin Finish is a penetrating sealer comprising of an alkali stable siloxane-resin in an acrylic resin solution which when applied at the specified rates will give a satin finish, highlighting colours of the natural stone or ground concrete. Satin Finish finds use as a high quality alkali stable repellent suitable for use a variety of substrates and application methods, from post treatment by the home handyman to in plant fabricated mineral-based construction materials.
The proposed surface to be treated must be unsealed and of a porous nature. Listed below are some of the substrates successfully treated with Satin Finish.
Fibrous cement
Cement render
Concrete
Aerated concrete
Natural stone
Clay brick walls
Concrete block walls
Terracotta tiles
Slate
