Vetro Power Non-Absorbent Surface Protection
Sealer for Polished Marble, Granite and Non-Absorbent Stone
Ready-to-use silicon dioxide sol-gel coating for polished marble and granite, porcelain, engineered stone and high-density ceramic. Hydrophobic and oleophobic, PFOA-free and PFAS-free, no change in look or feel.
Benefits
- Hydrophobic: water beads and runs off polished stone instead of spreading and leaving marks
- Oleophobic: cooking oil, cosmetics and hand grease sit on the surface and wipe away
- Soil-repellent: dust and everyday dirt do not bond to the surface, so routine cleaning is quicker and needs less product
- No change in look and feel: invisible on polished marble, granite, porcelain and engineered stone, no film, no gloss change
- UV-stable: does not yellow or break down in sunlight, suitable for facades and outdoor cladding
- PFOA-free and PFAS-free: silicon dioxide sol-gel chemistry, no fluorinated repellents
- Ready to use, low consumption: 2 to 5 ml per m², about 2,150 to 5,380 sq ft per litre, applied by HVLP spray, soft brush, microfibre cloth or immersion
Performance & Testing
- Surface preparation: the stone must be clean, dry and free of dust, grease and residues of cleaning agents. Any cleaner used before coating must be rinsed off and the surface allowed to dry fully.
- Application methods: HVLP spray is the recommended method. Industrial spray equipment, a soft paint brush, a lint-free microfibre cloth or immersion of small parts also work.
- Technique: on larger floors and facades, work square metre by square metre and spread evenly. Avoid ponding; excess product should be wiped off before it dries.
- Consumption: 2 to 5 ml per m² depending on the stone and the method, about 2,150 to 5,380 sq ft per litre.
- Test patch: apply to an inconspicuous area first to confirm stability and result on that particular stone.
- Batch note: the raw materials can give slight batch-to-batch colour variation in the liquid. This is normal and has no effect on the treated surface.

Vetro Power Non-Absorbent Surface Protection is a ready-to-use, solvent-based silicon dioxide sol-gel coating for polished marble and granite, porcelain, engineered stone and high-density ceramic. It makes the surface hydrophobic and oleophobic so water, oil and dirt wipe off instead of marking, with no change to the look or feel of the stone. PFOA-free and PFAS-free. The questions below cover surfaces, application, consumption, care and how it differs from Vetro Power Porous Stone Protector.
Open or Close What are the main benefits of Vetro Power Non-Absorbent Surface Protection?
Vetro Power Non-Absorbent Surface Protection makes polished stone hydrophobic and oleophobic, so water, oil and everyday soiling stay on the surface and wipe off instead of marking. It is soil-repellent, UV-stable, does not change the look or feel of the stone, and is PFOA-free and PFAS-free. It is ready to use with a very low consumption of 2 to 5 ml per m², about 2,150 to 5,380 sq ft per litre.
Open or Close Which surfaces is Vetro Power Non-Absorbent Surface Protection made for?
Polished, non-absorbent surfaces: polished marble and granite, porcelain and vitrified tiles, engineered and agglomerate stone, and high-density ceramic. If water soaks into the stone within a minute or two (honed, tumbled or unpolished marble, sandstone, limestone, terracotta), the surface is absorbent and needs Vetro Power Porous Stone Protector instead.
Open or Close What are the specifications of Vetro Power Non-Absorbent Surface Protection?
Density 0.8 g/cm³, viscosity approx. 1.2 mPas, flash point below 15 °C, boiling point approx. 80 °C. Shelf life is at least 2 years unopened and 6 months once opened. It is a solvent-based, ready-to-use liquid supplied in 1 L, 5 L, 25 L, 200 L and 1,000 L packs.
Open or Close How is Vetro Power Non-Absorbent Surface Protection applied?
The surface must be clean, dry and free of dust, grease and cleaner residue. Spray with an HVLP gun or industrial spray equipment, working square metre by square metre and avoiding ponding. A soft paint brush, a lint-free microfibre cloth or immersion of small parts also work. Test on an inconspicuous area first.
Open or Close How much Vetro Power Non-Absorbent Surface Protection do I need?
2 to 5 ml per m² depending on the stone and the method, which is about 2,150 to 5,380 sq ft per litre. A 1 L pack therefore covers roughly 200 to 500 m² of polished stone. Excess product does not improve the result and should be wiped off before it dries.
Open or Close What is the shelf life of Vetro Power Non-Absorbent Surface Protection?
At least 2 years in the unopened original container. Once opened, use within 6 months and keep the container tightly closed, cool and away from heat and open flames, as the product is flammable.
Open or Close Why does the liquid sometimes look slightly different in colour?
The raw materials can give a slight batch-to-batch variation in the colour of the liquid. This is normal, has no effect on the treated surface and is not a defect.
Open or Close Does Vetro Power Non-Absorbent Surface Protection stop acid etching on marble?
No. Marble is calcium carbonate and reacts with acids such as lemon juice, vinegar and wine, which dulls the polish. That is a chemical reaction in the stone itself, not a stain. The coating reduces staining and soaking-in from water, oil and dirt, and buys time to wipe a spill, but acidic spills should still be wiped up promptly.
Open or Close Can Vetro Power Non-Absorbent Surface Protection be used on surfaces other than marble?
Yes. It is formulated for any polished, non-absorbent mineral surface: granite, porcelain and vitrified tiles, engineered quartz and agglomerate stone, and high-density ceramic. It is used on floors, wall cladding, worktops, vanities and facades in homes, hotels, offices and retail.
Open or Close Is Vetro Power Non-Absorbent Surface Protection suitable for outdoor use?
Yes. The coating is UV-stable, so it does not yellow or break down in sunlight, which makes it suitable for polished facades, external cladding and covered terraces. Durability outdoors depends on exposure and cleaning; see the question on recoating.
Open or Close Does Vetro Power Non-Absorbent Surface Protection change the look or feel of the stone?
No. Once cured it is invisible: no film, no gloss change, no colour change and no change in surface texture. Polished stone looks and feels exactly as it did before, and the surface is not made more slippery.
Open or Close How long does it last and how do I recoat?
Durability depends on traffic, the type and frequency of cleaning, and exposure. Clean with a neutral cleaner (pH 5 to 7) and avoid abrasive pads, hydrofluoric acid and strongly alkaline chemicals such as bleach and caustic soda, which shorten the life of any coating. When water stops beading on the surface, clean, dry and reapply; no stripping is needed.
Open or Close Can it be used on kitchen worktops and dining tables?
Yes. It is widely used on polished granite, marble and engineered stone worktops. Apply in a ventilated space, keep food away until the surface is fully dry and cured, then clean as normal with a neutral cleaner. Oil and cooking stains wipe off instead of soaking in.
Open or Close Is Vetro Power Non-Absorbent Surface Protection PFAS-free?
Yes. It is based on silicon dioxide sol-gel chemistry and contains no fluorinated repellents. It is PFOA-free and PFAS-free.
Open or Close What is the difference between this and Vetro Power Porous Stone Protector?
Vetro Power Non-Absorbent Surface Protection is for polished, non-absorbent stone and tile, where the coating works on the surface. Vetro Power Porous Stone Protector is a penetrating, water-based sealer for absorbent stone such as sandstone, limestone and unpolished marble, where it works inside the pores. Using the wrong one gives a poor result, so check absorbency with a few drops of water first.
