Slate: Slate is a metamorphic rock. It is derived from shale or mudstone that has experienced intense heat or pressure. Slate is made up of parallel foliated plates. Most slates are gray in color and range in a continuum of shades from light to dark gray although it also occurs in shades of green, red, black, purple, and brown. Slate is known to flake and is considered to be medium to high porosity. Sealing can extend the life of slate while retaining its natural beauty.
Sealant Considerations: color enhancing, salt-water exposure (erosion), discoloring mold/algae, deterioration/flaking, VOC compliance, stain resistance, general protection
