Hidro Protector MM - 5 Liter

Product Description

HIDRO PROTECTOR MM is a high-performance, eco-friendly impregnating treatment designed to protect natural stone against staining, water absorption, and rising damp. Formulated as a 100% water-based, VOC-free solution, it provides deep penetration into porous materials while preserving their original appearance and breathability. Unlike surface coatings, it does not form a film or alter the natural look of the stone. It combines water-repellent and stain-resistant properties in a single treatment, offering long-lasting protection even in demanding environments. The product is certified for food contact, making it suitable for kitchen worktops and food-preparation surfaces. It is available in a 5-liter container with a coverage of approximately 10–15 m² per liter.
