Faber B1 700 Fast Evaporating Stain-Proof Impregnating Sealer
Keeping the best stone surfaces like polished marble, limestone, travertine, quartz-resin agglomerates or fine end granites clean without changing their look is among the largest issues when working with premium surfaces. This is precisely where the Faber B1 700 would fit.
Why is stain protection non-negotiable?
Nobody would guess the situation: an elite-level lobby floor in limestone, a patio of a luxury villa constructed of travertine, a hotel-room reception made of marble. Even natural stone that is not protected will suffer from oil or grease markings, coffee and wine stains, water ingress, colour changes, yellowing or surface film over time. Stain-resistant becomes the first line of defence for the aesthetics, durability and value of the stone.
- Stain resistance will prolong the longevity of the surface, lower the maintenance cost, and protect the brand.
- To the contractors and service providers, it is a value addition to provide a reliable stain-proof solution.
- To the distributors, the more effective sealer would be translated into fewer callbacks, more reputation and better margins.
Stain resistance as well as peace of mind are also investments in the Faber B1 700..
What is Faber B1 700?
B1 700
Highly performing, solvent-based, and fast-drying stain-proof treatment with a natural finish, for natural stone, terracotta and agglomerates.
B1 700 is a fast-drying stain-proof treatment for natural stone, terracotta and agglomerates that is solvent-based. It is formulated not to change the colour or look of the surface.
The major characteristics of B1 700:
- Fast drying: It dries in 30 minutes after application – therefore, you can use the surface after approximately 2-3 hours.
- Natural-effect (no colour change): It has no colour change to the colour of the material, and also it does not leave a film behind that is, so the original appearance, breathability and character of the rock are not lost.
- Good stain-resistance: The product has a high oleo- and hydrophobicity (guards material against dirt and staining) and UV-resistance (will not turn yellow with time).
- Applicable to a great variety of substrates: Marble, limestone, sandstone, slate, granite, porphyry, quartzite, terracotta, travertine, simply agglomerates, etc.
Why fast-evaporating / fast-drying matters?
From a practical job site point of view, the quicker your impregnating sealer works, the less amount of inconvenience you create for your performing client. To the contractors involved in hotel lobbies, commercial places, busy times, or houses of high-end villas, downtime is expensive.
- In B1 700, the sealer is used, allowed to dry after 30 minutes, then after 2-3 hours, traffic can be made on the surface.
- Less interruption and less waiting time, less downtime and more turnaround; this is a tangible value offer to contractors and service providers such as Flagstone Fix.
- For a distributor, being able to sell a “fast evaporating / fast drying” sealer helps you meet a higher spec standard than those slower-curing products.
The “Natural Effect” advantage
One of the outstanding features of the B1 700 is that it does not distort the natural appearance of the stone. Numerous impregnators or sealers change the appearance (darkening, change of gloss, change of colour, formation of film). With B1 700:
- The colour is the same: it will not change the colour of the material, and it will not change the appearance of the materials on which it is put.
- Breathability: This is maintained. The product does not form a film and thus, it does not alter the original breathability of the treated surface.
- UV resistance, no yellowing: A huge advantage when used in an outdoor environment, in a facade or terrace, where UV exposure is very extensive.
- In the case of high-end stone installations where appearance is a key attribute, this invisible protection approach is what makes the difference between high-priced jobs and the low-end answer.
Why is it the best alternative in the world, and now in India?
We would discriminatingly use use superlatives discriminately, but when all the features are added together, this is what stands up with the B1 700:
- A truly high-performance stain-proof impregnator (hydro-oleo-repellency) with fast drying, natural appearance, and indoor/outdoor capability.
- As demonstrated by the international engineering of Faber, European TDS supports these specs.
- Works with all types of high-end stone (marble, quartzite, limestone) and agglomerates (resin-marble, quartz-resin), which means that it can be used in the Indian market (villa terraces, hotel lobbies, hospitality installations, luxury residential).
- In the case of the Indian market, as the demand for premium stone, terraces, hotel interiors and exterior in the luxury houses increases in terms of demand, the requirement for stain-proof impervious surface, which needs to dry within a short period of time, and which looks natural on the surface, is increasing.
- To the distributors: A product that would attract both the contractors who install/polish stone and the maintenance and services companies, such as the Flagstone Fix, which provides maintenance and revitalisation services.
- In the case of Flagstone Fix services, when you deliver the offering, we apply Faber B1 700 to provide ultra-premium stain-protection of your stone floor/wall/terrace, which is an effective differentiator.
- Concisely: It is not merely another sealer, but a high version, a premium brand, a technical performance, and now targeted to India.

Why this India’s climate need and market for stones?
Conditions of India are unusual: the place is very humid with high levels of UV radiation (especially outdoor), there are lots of people in business premises, luxury stone surfaces in villas/resorts, difficult to work with (limestones, sandstones, travertines) substrates that dissipate/tint easily.
- A UV-resistant sealer that will not turn yellow is important for outdoor and facade stone.
- Breathable (no film, no change in appearance) sealer is also important for high-end stone.
- It takes fast drying and thus contractors can complete work quickly, even during hot weather, but humid weather
- With demand for high-end stone interiors that are clean and stain-free (marble kitchen counters, hotel bathrooms, villa terraces), stain protection is no longer an option..
