Limestone Sealer

Limestone Sealer is a deep-penetrating, water-based silicone coating made to protect horizontal limestone and Freemantle stone. It keeps the natural look and feel of the surface while providing strong, invisible protection. You can use it on patios, walkways, pavers, and outdoor stone areas to extend surface life and reduce maintenance.

This sealer was featured on the Growing Home series with Jamie Durie for its eco-friendly formula and reliable performance. It works by soaking into the surface and creating a water-repellent barrier. This barrier helps prevent damage caused by water, like efflorescence, cracking, erosion, and freeze-thaw cycles.

Unlike some heavy coatings, Limestone Sealer does not alter the stone's appearance. The matte finish preserves the original tone and texture. Since it's water-based and low in VOCs, it's safe to use around homes, gardens, and public spaces.

You only need one coat to get long-lasting results. It dries quickly and starts working fast. By keeping the surface dry, it also stops algae and mould from growing. This helps keep outdoor spaces cleaner and safer.

For other natural stone surfaces or vertical applications, check out the full NuTech Natural Stone Coatings range. You'll find options to suit different stone types and conditions.

Limestone sealer offers invisible, adequate protection with a finish that retains the stone's natural appearance. It's easy to apply, safe to use, and built to last.

Suitable Surfaces

  • Limestone
  • Natural Stone

Benefits

  • Suitable for limestone and Freemantle stone
  • Single coat application
  • Low VOC
  • Non-flammable
  • Water repellant, which reduces efflorescence, erosion, cracking, spalling and freeze/thaw damage
  • Reduced biological growth and dirt retention
  • Matt finish

Application

Prior to application, joints or cracks must be properly sealed or filled. Limestone Sealer will NOT bridge physical cracks.

Preparation

Remove dust, dirt, oils, grease, curing compounds, previous coatings, efflorescence, moss, mould or lichen prior to application.

For surfaces affected by moss and mould and lichen apply NuTech Hypo as directed in the relevant TDS and rinse.

Surfaces must be clean and dry prior to application.

Application

  • 1 coat application is recommended.

However, due to surface porosity, a 2nd coat can be applied "wet on wet"

Film Forming Temperature: 7°C
Coats Required: 1 Coat
Recoat Time: Wet on wet
Touch Dry: 2 Hours
Full Cure: 72 Hours
VOC Levels: <1 g/L
Flammability: Non-Flammable
Gloss Levels: Matt
Ambient Application Temperature: 7°C - 32°C
Coverage Rate: 4.5 m2/L

Application Notes

  • DO NOT apply a second coat after the first coat is dry
  • DO NOT allow Limestone Sealer to pool or puddle on non-porous surfaces
  • Mop up the excess product before it dries to prevent whitening, rings or patching.
  • If the excess is not removed product may dry with an opaque white appearance.
  • If some whitening occurs, it may be difficult to remove completely but can be reduced by abrading the surface, allowing natural weathering and erosion to take place.

Warnings

  • DO NOT use below surface grade, or where hydrostatic pressure is expected.
  • DO NOT apply if rain is imminent within 12 hours of application.
