Impregnators can also be hydrophobic (water resis- tant) or oliophobic (oil and grease resistant). If the im- pregnator is oliophobic, it is also hydrophobic, but not the other way around.
So to sum up, many of the above referenced products are solvent-based or have a high level of VOCs (vol- atile organic compounds). Solvents are becoming more and more restricted in their use and transportation. For example, in California, solvent-based impregna- tors can only be shipped in containers of quart size or smaller. This could possibly increase your cost of doing business – just something to keep in mind.
Note: Every contractor should have, on hand and available for inspection, the proper new 16 section internationally standard- ized SDS for each chemical product that is in inventory and/or used on every proj- ect. It is the law. The proper
use of PPE (personal pro- tective equipment), product use and disposal, and other pertinent health and safety information will be given on each product SDS.
As always, I recommend submitting a test area to confirm the results and the procedure prior to start- ing a stone or hard surface restoration or maintenance project. Also the best way to help ensure success is by partnering with a good dis- tributor that knows the busi- ness. They can help with technical support, chemical product purchase decisions, logistics, and other perti- nent project information.

Sandy Hawkins, 73, entered the bank that morning and told the teller, “This is a robbery. I have a weapon,” and put his hand in his waistband to indicate a gun, according to the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office arrest report.
The teller started counting out
$100 bills, eventually totaling $2,000, the affidavit said, but Hawkins explained that was too much money, and he only wanted $1,100. Authorities said the teller made the adjust- ment, then slid the bills through the window to Hawkins, who left the bank. When detectives
caught up with him the next day, he told them, “I will make this easy” and showed them a note he had written, which read, “Give me $1,100. Now, No Alarms, Hope to get caught.”
He was booked into the Palm Beach County Jail on robbery charges.
