Lithofin BERO removes rust and rust discolouration and is also suitable for removing cement residues from iron containing natural stones. Suitable for acid resistant hard stones such as serizzo, cresciano, calanca, and for granites etc.
Natural stones often contain traces of iron, which may oxidise when they come in contact with water either through rain or cleaning. The result of this oxidation is that the stone develops rust and discolouration. Lithofin BERO is specifically formulated to remove these blemishes.

Lithofin BERO chemically changes the rust particles, thereby removing rust discolouration regardless of whether it is a result of the iron in the stone or of environmental influences. Cement residues and similar dirt are also removed.

Directions for Use
Dilute Lithofin BERO up to 1:3 with water depending on the type and stubbornness of the blemish. Apply the solution to the surface and spread it evenly. After approx. 4 to 8 hours, rinse with plenty of clear water. In case of very stubborn rust discolouration, repeat this procedure after several days. During the cleaning procedure, the surface must be protected from water.

Lithofin BERO must not be used onpolished or fine honed marble and limestone, engineered stone or other acid sensitive surfaces. Enamel, zinc and other acid sensitive materials are attacked by the product. Some natural stones may become slightly darker, this effect will disappear after some time. However, always treat the entire surface to ensure an even appearance. In case of single spots, we recommend Lithofin MN Builder’s Clean.
