Solvent sealer 40 oz – our solvent-base granite sealer in the largest size, built for whole-house jobs and professional use.
Use our 40 ounce Granite Guard Protector as a granite sealer. It also works as a marble sealer, or for protecting against stains on limestone, travertine, terrazzo, and other natural stones, brick, and terra cotta surfaces.
Granite Guard Protector SB (solvent base) works best on polished granite (shiny, high gloss finish); Granite Guard Protector SB penetrates deeper into the pores of polished granite than Granite Guard Protector WB. Granite Guard Protector WB works best on unpolished granite, such as, honed finished and flame finished (textured) granite.

What a solvent sealer 40 oz is protecting against
Granite is dense, but it is not solid – it has microscopic pores that can absorb oil, wine, and other liquids over time, leaving dark stains that no amount of surface cleaning removes. A solvent sealer 40 oz penetrates into those pores and cures there, so liquids bead on the surface instead of soaking in. Our solvent-base formula penetrates especially deep, which is why professionals often prefer it over water-base sealers for a longer-lasting seal.
Why the 40 oz size
At 40 oz, this is the size for multiple kitchens, a full countertop renovation, or professional sealing jobs – anywhere our 8 oz or 16 oz solvent-base sealer would run out mid-project.
Applying the solvent sealer 40 oz
Work in a well-ventilated area, since solvent-base sealers carry stronger fumes than water-base formulas. Clean and dry the granite fully first, apply an even coat, let it penetrate for the recommended time, then wipe away any excess before it dries on the surface. A second coat is often worth it on heavily-used counters.
Keeping granite sealed
Wipe up oil and wine spills promptly even on sealed granite – sealer slows absorption, it doesn’t make the stone stain-proof indefinitely. Re-test with a few drops of water every year or so: if it stops beading, it’s time to reseal.
Solvent sealer 40 oz questions we get asked
Solvent-base or water-base – which should I use? Solvent-base formulas like this one typically penetrate deeper and last longer, while water-base sealers have less odor and are easier to apply indoors without heavy ventilation.
How long does a coat last? Most granite holds a seal for 1-2 years under normal kitchen use before it needs reapplying.
Do I need to reseal after every polish? Not necessarily – polish and sealer serve different purposes, and a seal that still beads water doesn’t need to be redone.

Choosing the right solvent sealer 40 oz coverage
Professionals stocking up for multiple jobs, or homeowners sealing an entire kitchen and bath package at once, get the best value from the solvent sealer 40 oz size rather than buying several smaller bottles.
