    STONE OIL

    Technical Information Sheet

    Characteristics A high-quality product consisting of natural raw materials. It makes an open-pored, silky-matt, water- repellent finish that shows little or no yellowing. Stone Oil can be used as a colourless or transparently coloured primer and top coat for all mineral surfaces like cement, concrete, cotto, terazzo and natural stone paving.

    Ingredients Aliphatic hydrocarbons, castor oil, safflor oil, colophony resin ester, clay, cobalt, zirconium, mangan and zinc octoate driers, silicic acids, citrus peel oil, microwax.

    Preliminary treatment Surface must be clean, free from grease, alkalically neutral and dry (less than 1.5 CM % moisture), anhydrous floor less than 0.5 CM %). It is advisable to sand and clean the surface beforehand (except stone and terazzo). Floor temperature should be at least 16° C. If used on floors with under-floor heating, turn off the heating before applying the Stone Oil, then gradually turn on to full over the course of three days. Turn off 24 hours beforehand and turn on gradually over 72 hours afterwards. Increase water temperature by 5° C per day up to 30° C.

    Directions for use Apply three coats of Stone Oil with a short-haired roller, taking care to spread it evenly. When colour concentrates are used for the primer coat and second coat, use 10-30% Stone Oil Colour Concentrates, depending on the required intensity. For the top coat always use transparent oil without pigments.

    Make a trial first!

    Important: Make sure to ventilate well when working with the product and while it is drying!


    Drying Can be sanded and recoated after 16-24 hours (20° C/50-55% relative air moisture). The floor can be used carefully after three days. Fully hardened after 7-14 days.

    Coverage Depends on the absorbency of the surface: primer coat 8-12 mē per litre. Second coat and top coat 10-16 mē per litre.

    Maintenance Naplana in washing water. On heavily used surfaces, apply undiluted. Please consult data sheet Naplana and Maintenance advice for oiled floors.
