ProNature Rock

Area of Use

A blend of plant oils and gum resin for the protection of rock surfaces, stone and masonry.

Where to use ProNature Rock?

Use ProNature Rock for the impregnation and sealing of terra cotta tiles, slate, masonry, concrete,  face brick and clay and lime plaster.

General Information

ProNature Rock is ready to use and needs not be diluted. Depending on surface type a thinning down of the first coat with about 10 % of ProNature Plant Turpentine may be required.

Clean brushes and equipment with ProNature Plant Turpentine.

Natural coatings have the added advantage not to contain any ingredients, which could cause harmful emissions, like formaldehyde or aromatic solvents, which could increase the risk of cancer.


Surface Preparation

 

All surfaces must be clean, dry and free of loose particles. Care must also be taken to provide a neutral surface. Therefore it is recommended to pre-treat surfaces with an acid wash (follow supplier instructions!).

Rinse acid washed surfaces well and leave to dry.


Application

Stir material well before application. ProNature Rock is applied liberally using a brush or short bristle paint roller. In order to avoid glossy spots it is important to remove any excess that has not been absorbed after about 15 min using a lint-free cloth or any suitable machinery. Leave to dry for 12 hrs. Then apply second coat of ProNature Rock. Remove any excess that has not been absorbed after about 15 min and leave to dry.

Normally two coats of ProNature Rock are sufficient. Very absorbent surfaces like terra cotta tiles will need further applications. Cotta tiles should be treated until complete saturation is achieved. Allow drying times of 12 hrs in-between coatings.



Care and Repair

For the first two weeks rocks should not be cleaned wet but only swept. There after rocks are cleaned with a neutral soap solution and wiped with a damp cloth only. ProNature Rock is spot repairable and should small damages from wear or scratching occur just clean the area thoroughly and sand concerned area lightly with steel wool or fine scouring pad.

Remove dust and apply a thin layer of ProNature Rock with a soft cloth, remove any excess that has not been absorbed after about 15 min. Leave to dry for approx. 12 hrs. The treated area should not be walked on for 48 hours



Coverage

Approximately 9 - 16 m2 per litre, on highly absorbent surfaces substantially lower.
