Vitremela™ - Revolutionary new acid proof coating for marble and acid sensitive countertops

DRY-TREAT'S new Vitremela™ is a next generation protective coating for marble, engineered stone, polished concrete and other acid sensitive countertops.

Some recently released UV (ultraviolet) cured epoxies and urethanes use nano particles for extra durability, but still tend to be very thick. They also scratch easily, have less than perfect clarity or a yellowish tinge, need to be stripped before they can be re-applied, deteriorate quickly outdoors and often are not 100% acid-proof.

Vitremela™ is a unique hybrid technology with a greater number of stronger cross-links between the molecules, so the cured coating is significantly thinner, with better clarity, harder, more scratch resistant, more heat resistant, 100% acid resistant and is easily repaired or re-coated without stripping.

Vitremela™ is ideal for protecting countertops and other surfaces made from acid sensitive materials including marble, limestone, travertine, polished concrete and engineered stones.

VITREMELA™ TECHNOLOGY - SPECIAL BENEFITS

Vitremela™ is a unique, inorganic vitrifying hyper-polymer, at the cutting edge of coating technology
More complex, better quality cross-linking creates the highest degree of hardness, durability and scratch resistance which existing science has to offer (9H+ results by industry standard ISO15184 pencil scratch tests).
Superior adhesion (5B result in ISO 2409 adhesion testing).
Finished coating is super thin (approx 50 to 60µ) with superior clarity, transparency and gloss levels.
Total stain barrier withstands household liquids and foodstuffs, even most solvents.
Total acid protection - can withstand industrial strength hydrochloric acid for more than 24 hours.
Fire resistant - withstands high heat and even naked flame. Damage only begins to occur over 500°F.
Repairable - Vitremela™ can be repaired or over-coated without stripping.
Versatile range of finishes, from honed to highly polished, are easily achieved by varying finishing technique.
Vitremela™ is also a zero VOC, LEED and REACH compliant, environmentally responsible product.
