Acid proofing is the act of applying a surface sealer on material in order to protect it from damage. Material such as wood, natural stones like limestone, travertine and unpolished marble as well as tiles, concrete, grout and pavers are given acid proofing treatment in order to protect them from damage that is caused by common acids found in households. Examples of household acids are vinegar, lemon juice, cola, wine and champagne. Acid proofing also protects surfaces from oil – based and water stains. When subjected to acid proof treatment, surfaces become easier to clean and maintain, which in turn makes them look new over longer periods.

Acid proofing enables the surface area to become acid resistant and it also prevents food and other stains from forming on the surface. Aside from making the surface easier to clean, it enables the same to breathe naturally, so there is no build – up of moisture on the sub – surface. This enables the surface to remain dry. Acid proofed surfaces stand up to traffic pollution and weather and are resistant to alkali. These surfaces do not deteriorate or disintegrate when they come in contact with cement – based material.
