MORE® AntiEtch® Next Gen: The Future of Natural Stone Protection

Natural stone surfaces bring timeless elegance to any space, but they also come with a challenge. Acidic substances, daily use, and moisture can quickly cause etching, staining, and surface dullness, even on well-maintained stone.

That is where MORE® AntiEtch® NextGen® changes everything.

What Is MORE® AntiEtch® NextGen®?

MORE® AntiEtch® NextGen® is an advanced, UV-cured stone protection system designed to safeguard marble and other natural stone surfaces from etching and staining, all while preserving their natural appearance.

What truly sets it apart is its lifetime warranty. Once professionally applied, MORE® AntiEtch® NextGen® delivers long-term protection you can rely on, giving homeowners peace of mind that their stone surfaces are protected for life.

Unlike traditional sealers that only slow absorption, this next-generation coating creates a durable, invisible barrier that actively protects the stone surface against daily use, acidic substances, and moisture.

Why Traditional Sealers Are Not Enough

Standard stone sealers penetrate the stone, but they do not prevent etching caused by acidic liquids such as:

  • Lemon juice
  • Wine
  • Vinegar
  • Coffee
  • Household cleaners

Etching is a chemical reaction, not a stain. That is why sealing alone is not enough.
