AKEMI Stain Repellent Nano-Effect

AKEMI Stain Repellent Nano-Effect is a professional, ready-to-use impregnation designed to protect absorbent natural and engineered stone against water, dirt, grease and oil. The weather-resistant and non-yellowing formula penetrates the stone without forming a surface layer, allowing the material to remain breathable.

The impregnation creates a distinctive beading effect that helps prevent liquids and staining substances from penetrating the surface. It reduces the formation of stains and makes treated surfaces considerably easier to clean. The appearance and colour of the stone normally remain unchanged or are only slightly intensified.

AKEMI Stain Repellent Nano-Effect is suitable for indoor and outdoor use. After curing, the treated surface is harmless to health when in contact with food, as certified by an independent German testing institute. The product has also achieved emission class A+.

AKEMI has specialised in professional stone chemistry since 1933. Its internationally recognised range includes products for cleaning, care, protection, bonding, filling, repairing and sealing natural and engineered stone.

Marmi Futerno supplies professional stone-care products and provides complete solutions for the fabrication, installation, maintenance and restoration of stone surfaces.
