Product Information
HMK® S237 Stone Sealer is a ready-to-use modified silicone and acrylic surface sealer that enriches the natural color and structure of absorbent mineral surfaces. It creates a tough satin finish while reducing the penetration of water, dirt, and grease into the treated material.
The hard, protective finish makes rough and textured surfaces easier to clean and maintain while providing a refined satin appearance. UV-resistant and slip-retardant properties add practical performance for suitable interior installations.
HMK S237 is formulated for honed, brushed, sandblasted, flamed, and riven soft or hard natural stone. It is also compatible with absorbent agglomerates, concrete, and terrazzo, providing versatile protection for interior surfaces that benefit from both color enhancement and a finished appearance.
Common Questions
HMK S237 is made for honed, brushed, sandblasted, flamed, and riven soft or hard natural stone. It is also suitable for compatible absorbent agglomerates, concrete, and terrazzo. Always test an inconspicuous area first to confirm absorption, appearance, and product suitability.
Yes. HMK S237 enriches the natural color and structure of the material and leaves a satin finish rather than an unchanged natural appearance. The amount of enhancement can vary by surface and porosity, so testing beforehand helps confirm the expected result.
HMK S237 reduces the penetration of water, dirt, and grease while creating a tough, hard surface finish. This added protection also makes rough and textured materials easier to clean during regular maintenance. The manufacturer describes the treatment as reducing penetration rather than waterproofing the surface.
HMK describes S237 as a modified silicone and acrylic surface sealer, not as a water-based impregnator. It intentionally enhances the material’s color and structure while leaving a visible satin finish. This distinction is important when choosing between a decorative surface sealer and an impregnator sealant.
HMK S237 is for interior use only and should not be used in showers, wet areas, or exterior installations. It is also unsuitable for polished stone, glazed materials, non-absorbing surfaces, rubber, plastics, lacquered or varnished finishes, and other solvent-sensitive materials.
The surface must be chemically clean, dry, and absorbent. HMK recommends cleaning with diluted R155 Intensive Cleaner, flood rinsing with water, and allowing at least 24 hours of drying to reach 2 to 4 percent residual moisture. Underfloor heating should be switched off so the surface can cool first.
HMK S237 is supplied ready to use and should be applied generously and evenly without allowing it to puddle. One or two applications are usually sufficient, depending on surface porosity and the desired enhancement. A second application may be made after 12 hours when additional enhancement is wanted.
The manufacturer lists approximate coverage of 15 square feet for 1/4 liter, 60 to 100 square feet for 1 liter, and 300 to 500 square feet for 5 liters. Actual coverage varies with the surface, so testing a small area can help estimate product requirements.
