NawThinz products are mineral silicate-based diluents and primers for NawTone-K mineral stain. As diluents, they are used to reduce the pigment loading of NawTone-K, allowing NawTone-K to become a semi-transparent stain. When used as a primer, NawThinz products enhance the physical properties of the treated surface. NawThinz-C is specially designed for concrete surfaces, while NawThinz-M is designed explicitly for masonry (brick, block, stone) surfaces. NawThinz products will stabilize soft, porous masonry and concrete, creating a consistent absorbency rate across the surface.
Because NawThinz chemically binds with concrete, it is ideal for use on precast and tilt-up projects.
