Please Note: Lithofin ALGEX - 1 LITRE. (Algaecide) is not harmful for plants, however, they should not be sprayed or should be washed off immediately. 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. Lithofin ALGEX should be diluted with water approx. 1:10 (when used as a preventive treatment 1:20) and distributed on the surface using a watering-can or a sprayer. After application, the areas should not be rained on for at least 4 hours. The surfaces will become bright, clean and free of deposits within a few days. Surface residues can be washed off with water or they will disappear when it rains. Please Note: The product is not harmful for plants, however, they should not be sprayed or should be washed off immediately.

After-treatment: As a further precautionary measure to prevent the growth of algae and the penetration of water, a final impregnation with Lithofin Splash-Stop or Lithofin MN Colour Intensifier is recommended. Treating the stone with Stainstop W will prevent water and dirt from penetrating into the surface, thereby reducing the tendency to absorb dirt inhibiting the growth of algae. 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%
