DREP is a solvent-based, low-odor, water-repellent impregnating treatment designed for natural stone and other absorbent surfaces. Available in 1 liter It penetrates deeply into the material to significantly reduce water absorption while preserving the surface’s original tone, color, and natural appearance. Unlike surface coatings, DREP does not form a film, allowing the substrate to remain breathable while gaining long-lasting protection against moisture-related issues. It is suitable for both indoor and outdoor use on walls and floors, helping to maintain surface integrity and simplify routine cleaning. DREP can also be applied before installation to protect materials from moisture and accelerate drying times. Additionally, it works effectively as a protective primer to enhance the performance and durability of subsequent stain-resistant treatments. (Ground only shipping applies.)
