MB Stone Care MB-24 Plus Barrier Water-Based Impregnating Stone Sealer

MB-24 Plus Barrier is a water-based impregnating sealer that protects porous natural stone and masonry against water, oil and everyday staining. It penetrates below the surface rather than forming a coating, so it leaves the color, texture and finish of the material unchanged while still allowing moisture vapor to escape. Approved surfaces include granite, marble, limestone, travertine, terrazzo, concrete, slate, terra cotta, Saltillo tile and grout, and once cured the sealer is safe for food preparation surfaces. One quart covers roughly 150 to 250 square feet and properly applied protection lasts about 3 to 5 years.

Features

  • Water-based penetrating impregnator that protects without changing color, texture or gloss
  • Hydrophobic and oleophobic: resists both water-based and oil-based staining and makes spill cleanup easier
  • Breathable film-free protection that allows moisture vapor transmission
  • Safe for kitchen countertops and other food preparation surfaces once fully cured
  • Rated for granite, marble, limestone, travertine, terrazzo, concrete, slate, terra cotta, Saltillo tile and grout
  • Coverage of approximately 150 to 250 square feet per quart
  • Protects for approximately 3 to 5 years when properly applied and maintained
  • Low odor and free of volatile organic compounds; made in the USA for interior and exterior work

  1. Read the Safety Data Sheet completely before use.
  2. Confirm the surface is clean, completely dry and free of soil, waxes, coatings and previous sealers. Let newly restored stone dry thoroughly first.
  3. Test a small inconspicuous area to gauge how quickly the material absorbs and to confirm the result before treating the whole surface.
  4. Apply a liberal, even coat with a lambswool applicator, paint brush, low-pressure sprayer or spray bottle. Work in manageable sections: about 7 to 8 linear feet on countertops, about 50 to 100 square feet on floors.
  5. Let the sealer dwell wet on the surface for up to 30 minutes, moving it around so it never dries in place.
  6. Watch the absorption rate. If the sealer soaks in within 10 minutes, more applications are needed; keep applying until the surface stays wet for more than 15 minutes.
  7. After roughly 20 minutes of dwell, remove all remaining sealer and residue with a clean dry cloth or towel. Never let excess sealer dry on the surface.
  8. Work section by section across the whole installation, overlapping slightly so no area is missed.
  9. Apply a second coat if the material is highly porous, repeating the same steps after the first application has been wiped clean.
  10. Inspect from several angles under good lighting. If residue remains, apply a light coat of fresh sealer to that spot and immediately buff it off with a clean cloth.
  11. Allow 24 to 36 hours for full cure before exposing the surface to heavy moisture or potential staining agents. If the surface will contact food, allow 48 to 72 hours to cure completely before returning it to food preparation use.
  12. Maintain with pH-neutral stone cleaners, and water-test periodically to decide when resealing is due.
  13. Wear gloves and eye protection during application.

Which surfaces can MB-24 Plus Barrier be used on?

Porous natural stone and masonry, including granite, marble, limestone, travertine, terrazzo, slate, concrete, terra cotta, Saltillo tile and grout.

Will MB-24 change the appearance of my stone?

No. It is a penetrating sealer that preserves the natural look of the material. It does not create a surface coating or add gloss.

Is MB-24 safe for kitchen countertops?

Yes. It can be used on natural stone countertops that may contact food, but it must cure completely first - the manufacturer specifies 48 to 72 hours before the surface returns to food preparation use.

How long does the protection last?

Most installations get about 3 to 5 years, depending on stone porosity, traffic, maintenance and exposure. A periodic water absorption test shows when resealing is due.

How do I know whether my stone needs additional coats?

If the sealer absorbs in under 10 minutes, apply more. Highly porous materials often need multiple coats to reach full protection.

What happens if sealer residue dries on the surface?

Dried residue looks streaky or cloudy. Apply a small amount of fresh sealer to the affected area and immediately buff it off with a clean cloth.

Can MB-24 be used outdoors?

Yes, on many exterior stone and masonry surfaces, provided the material is clean, dry and suitable for penetrating sealers.

Does MB-24 prevent all stains?

No sealer is absolutely stain proof. MB-24 delays absorption and makes cleanup easier, giving you more time to remove a spill before it stains.
