It also removes cement residues and similar dirt. Slip resistance testing is a complex and varied area however the two main tests for domestic paving are either the pendulum test (PTV) or the ramp test (R rating). With the pendulum test, a pendulum is swung over the surface of the stone which will slow it down. The rougher the surface, the more it will slow the pendulum and the higher the value (PTV). It is tested both wet and dry. The lowest permitted value for external use when wet is 36.

Giving You Peace of Mind

The water absorption test measures the amount of water a stone can hold when fully saturated. This is expressed as a percentage of the total weight. So, a result of 1% means that when fully saturated, 1% of a stone’s weight will be water. As a guide, paving such as porcelain is usually less than 0.5% porosity, granite is around 0.5%, sandstone and limestone are in the region of 1-3% and concrete, 6% Lithofin ASR dissolves and removes most stubborn engrained dirt as well as grease and oil, wax, paint, soot, care product encrustations, burnt-in grease, polymer films, etc.

In case of spill or other release, take up with absorbent material (e.g. sand, sawdust, general-purpose binder). Product does not burn, fire-extinguishing activities according to surrounding. Lithofin OIL-EX is a ready-to-use, gel-like paste that we recommend for spot-cleaning oil- and grease-based stains, including those that are deeply ingrained. Consisting of a mixture of solvents and highly absorbent solids, the paste consistency allows the active ingredients to work on the substrate for a long time. It dries to a powder that can then be brushed off. Dry Treat Alkaline Cleaner, previously known as Hanafinn Oxy-Klenza, does very much the same job as Outdoor Cleaner, but is the product of choice for stains resulting from food spills, drinks (the dreaded red wine spill!), oil, and anything that contains grease - even old, dried-in stains. PLEASE NOTE: Lithofin Resin-Ex should never be used on limestone and other calcareous materials.
