What is ioSeal?

The ioSeal Advantage

If you have granite countertops, or are in the natural stone industry, you may have heard the term "ioSeal" before.

ioSeal is a unique formula that comes incorporated into specialty stone-care products, as a method of easily and efficiently cleaning, protecting, and enhancing surfaces. Originating as a cosmetic ingredient, it was found that ioSeal could ionically bond to stone surfaces, forming a protective layer with cleaning and enhancing qualities.

Sticking like a magnet does to steel, ioSeal works with cleaning agents in a way that is able to defend your surface from future messes, repel incoming stains, fend off UV-damage, and leave a smoother, streak-free finish.

 How it's Used

To simplify the process of cleaning and protecting granite, ioSeal is incorporated into select cleaning products.  This allows individuals not only to clean, but also to protect and enhance with every use.  This two-in-one ability has been a method of setting the bar and bringing new convenience to home-owners.

"[ioSeal] put the care of granite, as we saw it, on a completely different level" -Paul Browning, Chemist

With the assistance of the Chemist Paul Browning, ioSeal was applied to the granite industry, and can now be found in several top products in the industry.  A condensed list of ioSeal's benefits goes as follows:  

• An additional level of protection against: stains, hard water spots, calcium and limescale buildup
• Safe to use on unsaturated polyester resin, natural and engineered stones
• Surfaces become smoother, more reflective
• Colors become more vibrant
• Helps protect against UV rays and fading
