Sealers fall under the 2 following categories in Minmi
Penetrating Sealer
(Impregnating, Transparent or Colour Enhancing)
Impregnating sealants effectively penetrate the travertine substrate in Minmi, infiltrating the microscopic pinholes and open fissures inherent in its natural texture.
A transparent impregnating sealer in Minmi won't alter the appearance of your sealed travertine, preserving its natural look. It won't hinder the stone's ability to release vapor and boasts a longer lifespan compared to film-forming sealers.
- Extended lifespan as the protection resides within the substrate, rather than just on the surface.
- Unaffected by UV light
- Permits the stone to "breathe," allowing retained moisture to escape.
- Surface remains non-slippery. Enhances the life expectancy of travertine.
For optimal defense against oil and water-based stains, as well as to preserve the appearance and slip resistance while avoiding moisture entrapment, it's advised to seal your travertine in Minmi with a high-quality, transparent impregnating sealer that allows full breathability.

Topical(Film Forming, Coating or Surface Sealant)
Topical Sealers are products that rest on the surface of the travertine substrate in Minmi, serving as a barrier between the stone and potential stains.
Applied to the surface, topical sealers cure and form a visible film once hardened in Minmi. However, they are often unsuitable for use with materials like travertine as they hinder the stone's ability to breathe in Minmi, may not adhere properly, and can lead to slipperiness.
- Prone to easy abrasion, resulting in noticeable areas of scuffing or wear.
- Require frequent re-application.
- Have the potential to accumulate over time, resulting in a varnish-like appearance.
- Lower quality coatings may yellow when exposed to UV light (sunlight).
- Risk trapping moisture within the substrate, leading to issues such as efflorescence or damage.
