Akemi Stain Repellent Nano 1 Liter

This was recommended by our installer after we had some quartzite counters installed. He left me a small remnant so I did some testing prior to using. I compared it to dupont bullet proof which I normally use. The result is unbelievable. The Akemi completely sealed the surface against any type of stain. I tested water, red wine, oil, and tomato sauce. All the items just beaded up on the surface and were easy to wipe off. Nothing penetrated the stone. The dupont bullet proof did not do so well with the oil. The akemi was easy to apply and did not change the character of the stone. I am still amazed how everything now beads up on the surface of the stone. I was also going to use this on my marble backsplash. I did a sample test because I was worried about the grout. The product changed the color of the grout on my test piece. I would recommend you do a test before using it on grout. I ended up using the bulletproof on the backsplash because it did not discolor the grout.

This is quite simply the best stone sealer made. I have a white marble counter top in a semi-matte finish. In short, it was like a sponge for stains. Tests I performed showed that oil and wine could stain it permanently within mere seconds of exposure. I tried several sealers, including the Dupont Stone Tech and 511 and Aquamix brands and found them to be utterly useless. There is only one other sealer I could find that offers comparable performance to the Akemi Nano: Tenax Ager (not their other varieties however). The Tenax Ager has only one problem, it is a stone darkener which is fine if you want to enhance the pattern of a darker stone but not ideal for white marble, which can gain a slight brownish tint with application. The Akemi did not alter my stone's color whatsoever and guards it effectively from staining. I applied it by saturating the surface with as much of the Akemi as it would take, letting it soak in for several minutes. If it absorbed the sealer fully in areas I would apply more. Then after a few minutes I wiped off the excess. After a day I repeated the treatment using the same process, so my countertops are fairly saturated with the stuff. Had Thanksgiving months back at my place during which my countertop was subjected to abuse (people spilling wine and greasy gravy on it). I escaped that episode without any stains and have since been stain free. I really think this is remarkable stuff. The Tenax Ager too is incredible, but like I said alters the color. If I ever get a darker counter top I would certainly also consider using the Tenax Ager. But you absolutely can't go wrong with the Akemi Nano. It blows those other products I mentioned out of the water.

easy to apply; for my small kitchen the amount in a 1 liter bottle is way more than I needed as only a quite thin coating need be applied (two coats recommended, the second applied while the first coat is still wet); I wish they sold smaller sizes as the price is high, but the product is easy to apply and seems to work well. I noticed no real change in color or appearance after I applied it to white granite. There is some smell but not as bad as some chemicals I have used (I have no comparison to similar products), but I would suggest a mask and rubber gloves. It did irritate my eyes a bit, but when I had adequate ventilation with fans it had less effect.

We applied this a second time after our installers did a quick hasty job of "sealing" our Imperial Danby Marble. We haven't noticed any stains. This product does not prevent etching, which is common with marble. Keep that in mind, no product will.

Best stain guard for my honed quartzite kitchen counters that I've found so far. Water (and other substances) bead up, don't penetrate or leave stains. Wipe off easily. Even red wine and fruit don't leave marks. Note: smells strongly and I doubt it's good to inhale, so apply with windows open, even a fan.

Good job with pricing and shipping

Haven’t hit my countertop installed yet. Product came highly recommended by stone countertop store!!!

This stuff is working great. I have Mont Blanc quartzite in 4 bathrooms and water just sits on top of it and wipes right off without staining/etching. It's been 3 months. I plan to add more at the 6 month mark. It's really easy. My installer told me to clean the quartzite with a paper towel with rubbing alcohol before I added more sealer. I wore nitrile gloves and just used a papertowel to wipe a very thin coat over the counters and let it dry. It did not change the color of my quartzite which is white with gray veining. I also used it on my granite in the kitchen and it worked really well. It doesn't take much so this will last quite a while. It's not as thick or heavy like other sealants I've used and goes on easily.

Sehr, sehr gutes Versiegelungsprodukt. Funktioniert perfekt. 1 mal jährlich auf Flächen im Aussenbereich. Wasser, Fett, Öl, alles perlt perfekte auf dem Naturstein. Keine Fettflecken mehr auf dem Natursteintisch. Einfach ein wunderprodukt. Benutze es bereits seit Jahren. Immer zufrieden 👍

Produit d'entretien du granit efficace.

Ich benutze AKEMI Anti-Fleck Nano-Effect zur Pflege unserer Naturstein-Küchenarbeitsplatte (Nero Assoluto Leather). Mit einem fusselfreien Baumwolltuch aufgetragen und nach Abtrocknung mit einem weichen Microfasertuch nachreiben. Das Ergebnis ist top! Die Arbeitsplatte bleibt schön matt und behält ihren "Ledereffekt". Die Imprägnierung ist sehr gut! Einmal im Monat angewendet bleibt die Arbeitsplatte wie neu. Ein sehr gutes, wenn auch teures Produkt.

Das Produkt schützt gut vor einziehender Feuchtigkeit, leider hinterlässt es nach dem eintrocknen leichte Wischspuren. Ob mit Pinsel oder Lappen nur leicht auftragen, nötigenfalls auch öfter auftragen. Es bleiben leider immer leicht angetrocknete Wischspuren zu sehen.

Artikel ist gut
