Description
Tenax Ager is a solvent-based stone enhancer and impregnating sealer that does two jobs at once: it deepens and enriches the natural color and grain of stone while protecting the pores from oil and water-based stains. The result is a rich, wet-look enhancement that's permanent — not a surface coating that wears off. UV stable and non-yellowing, Ager is suitable for indoor and outdoor use on a wide range of natural stone surfaces.
Also available as the Ager Pen — a convenient applicator pen for touch-ups, edges, and small areas. Sold in boxes of 6.

How to Apply
- Ensure the stone surface is clean and completely dry
- Apply Ager undiluted using a paintbrush, cloth, fleece, or sponge applicator
- Allow the stone to naturally absorb the sealer evenly
- Within a few seconds, wipe off any excess with a clean cloth to avoid sticky or glossy residue
- Avoid applying in direct sunlight
- Wait 24 hours for full cure; do not walk on treated floors for 4–6 hours after application
Important Notes
- Does not prevent etching on marble — acidic substances (wine, citrus, tomato, coffee) will etch marble regardless of sealer; Ager protects against staining only
- Permanent color enhancement — test on an inconspicuous area first; the color-deepening effect is not reversible
