Water repellent comparison for stone and paving
These five products serve different purposes. Choose your material and desired finish first, then estimate working-solution volume from the number of coats and a test application.

| PROSEPT AQUAISOL ↗Original product details on ipanda.kz ↗ | Absorbent stone, concrete, mineral plaster, paving | 1:2 concentrate · 5 L makes 15 L of working solution | Preserves the original look after drying; no designed wet-stone effect | 0.3–0.5 L/m² working solution total for two passes Area × rate; concentrate = working solution ÷ 3 |
| ТИПРОМ К ↗Original product details on ipanda.kz ↗ | Porous brick, concrete, stone and plaster | 1:3 concentrate · 5 L makes 20 L of working solution | Preserves appearance, with no visible film | 0.15–0.30 L/m² working solution to saturation Area × rate; concentrate = working solution ÷ 4 |

How to find the actual rate
Clean and dry a representative test area. Account for porosity, application method and coat count. Measure the working solution used over a known area. For concentrates, convert the measured solution into product volume using the dilution ratio.
Universal calculator →Example for 20 m²
- AQUAISOL: 6–10 L working solution for two passes → 2–3.33 L concentrate at 1:2.
- ТИПРОМ К: 3–6 L working solution → 0.75–1.5 L concentrate at 1:3.
- WESTON: two coats theoretically need 20 × 2 ÷ 7 ≈ 5.7 L to 20 × 2 ÷ 6 ≈ 6.7 L, before application losses.
The WESTON product-page headline “9 L = 50–60 m²” is close to one-coat coverage. The instructions call for at least two coats at 1 L per 6–7 m² per coat. Plan purchases from the coat count and a test patch.
All rates are indicative. Test compatibility and appearance on a small area before treating the full surface, and follow the instructions for your specific batch.
