Catalina Chemical Magic Water Repellant and Protector

Catalina Chemical Magic is a deep penetrating, siloxane water repellant which provides a virtually invisible below surface seal. This sealer is vapor permeable and does not form a surface film. It internally seals and waterproofs the substrate which allows moisture to breathe out of the stone, while preventing moisture and dirt from penetrating the surface. This will not alter the appearance of the stone. Magic preserves original beauty of the surface, inhibits efflorescence, penetrates deeply and immediately, and is an excellent grout release. Use when a natural look is desired. For interior or exterior use.

  • MAGIC is a very easy product to use. Because it does not alter the appearance of a stone’s surface, there is no risk of an uneven finish. After application, if you see an area where moisture is still absorbing into the stone, you can re-apply more sealer to those areas. High traffic areas can be spot treated as necessary.
