I have used this product on Limestone and Travertine near the ocean that was having a similar problem from salt exposure. That treatment, when done properly will solve the problem, but you will also need to seal afterward with a good salt/chloride repellant. <div class="HOEnZb">

I would suspect deicing salts or soil salts..To be honest I wouldnt apply anything, just let it deteriorate. The problem with any product is that it may cause it to deteriorate faster.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, May 30, 2012 at 2:06 AM, J.

Hi,<br>Last week I took a look at an outdoor covered patio that was 
originally comprised of very smooth tiles, but over the winter the tiles
 have seriously degraded.  I was told by the owners that this happened 
over this last winter particularly but not before.  In any event, much 
of the surface has been worn away and some areas have lost larger 
chunks.  The owners are aware that there is not much that can be done to
 bring back the original finish, but would at least like to see if there
 is anything that can be applied that might stop or slow down further 
degradation.  I told them that I wouldn&#39;t encourage using a topical 
sealant, but that there may be a consolidant that might help.  That being said, I talked to the people at Richard James and they suggested either Stonelok MLT or TK6 Nanocoat.  Does 
anyone have any other ideas on what might be used to slow the stone from 
wearing away?  I am surprised that stone degraded so quickly.  It is 
exposed but covered by a canvas cover. This last winter was very mild 
but rainy. For some reason the tiles along the edges have retained much 
of the original smooth finish. Thanks,<br></div>
