Frequently asked questions

What is Liquid Shield™?

Liquid Shield™ is a U.S. made, advanced surface protection system designed to bond into and protect surfaces like granite, marble, quartz, tile, glass, and appliances. It creates a permanent, breathable barrier that enhances durability, cleanliness, and long-term performance.

How does Liquid Shield™ work?

Liquid Shield™ uses a two-phase system:

• Core Matrix penetrates and bonds into the surface

• Shield Matrix forms the outer protective barrier

Together, they create a unified, long-lasting layer that protects against moisture, stains, scratches, and contaminants.

What surfaces can it be applied to?

Liquid Shield™ is designed for:

• Granite

• Marble

• Quartz

• Tile and natural stone

• Glass

• Stainless steel

• Appliances

Can it be applied to textured or porous surfaces?

Yes. Liquid Shield™ is specifically engineered to work on both smooth and textured surfaces, including porous materials like natural stone.

Does Liquid Shield™ fill pores and existing damage?

Yes. Liquid Shield™ helps:

• Fill microscopic pores and capillaries

• Reduce the effects of light etching and surface wear

• Create a smoother, more uniform surface

This helps prevent bacteria, moisture, and contaminants from getting trapped below the surface.

Is Liquid Shield™ hydrophobic?

Yes. Liquid Shield™ creates a highly water-repellent surface, causing liquids to bead up and roll off easily. This helps reduce water spots, staining, and buildup.

Is the coating breathable?

Yes. Liquid Shield™ is designed to be breathable, allowing trapped moisture vapor to escape while still protecting the surface. This helps prevent subsurface damage.

How durable is Liquid Shield™?

Liquid Shield™ is engineered for long-term durability and provides:

• High resistance to scratches and abrasion

• Protection against stains and chemicals

• Resistance to acid etching

It is designed to perform for years under normal use.

How much heat can it withstand?

Liquid Shield™ can withstand temperatures up to 2700°F, maintaining its structure and performance even under extreme heat conditions.

Will it change the look of my surface?

Liquid Shield™ enhances the natural look of your surface.

• Gloss version adds depth and shine

• Matte version maintains a soft, low-sheen finish

How long does the application process take?

• Day 1: Surface prep + Core Matrix application

• Day 2 (24 hours later): Shield Matrix application

• 10-day cure period for full performance

Can I use my surfaces during the process?

• No use is allowed during the first 24 hours between applications

• After the second application, light use is allowed during the 10-day cure period

• Full performance is achieved after curing is complete

How soon after installation can Liquid Shield™ be applied?

For newly installed surfaces:

• A minimum of 10 days is required if installed using wet methods

• Surfaces must be 100% dry before application

Is it safe for kitchens and bathrooms?

Yes. Liquid Shield™ is ideal for high-use and high-contact areas, including kitchens and bathrooms, where cleanliness and protection are important.

Does it help with cleaning?

Absolutely. Liquid Shield™ makes surfaces:

• Easier to clean

• More resistant to stains and buildup

• Less likely to harbor contaminants

Will it prevent stains and etching completely?

Liquid Shield™ provides strong resistance against stains and acid damage, but like any surface protection system, proper care and maintenance are still recommended for best results.

Does Liquid Shield™ come with a warranty?

Yes, Liquid Shield™ is backed by a warranty, provided all application and care guidelines are followed, including:

• No use during the initial 24-hour period

• Proper care during the 10-day curing phase

What makes Liquid Shield™ different from other products?

• Proprietary U.S.-formulated system

• Two-phase technology (Core Matrix + Shield Matrix)

• Breathable protection (unlike many sealers)

• Pore-filling and surface refinement

• Extreme heat resistance (up to 2700°F)

• Designed for both smooth and textured surfaces
