Frequently asked questions
Questions about Quartz sealant
What is a quartz sealant?
Quartz sealant usually describes a SiO2-based protective layer and is often categorised similarly to ceramic paint protection.
What does a quartz sealant provide?
Depending on the system, it supports gloss, hydrophobicity, chemical resistance and a surface that is easier to clean.
How long does a quartz sealant last?
Durability depends on the product, preparation, application, use and maintenance; a fixed number of months cannot be transferred to every system.
How is a quartz sealant applied?
To a cleaned, decontaminated surface that has been degreased as required, usually section by section with an applicator followed by controlled curing.
Is a quartz sealant maintenance-intensive?
It requires regular gentle washing and compatible maintenance. The effort is moderate, but the coating is not maintenance-free.
