About in|stead
in|stead GmbH, headquartered in Jena, develops functional products for surfaces and materials that combine protection, effectiveness and conscious formulation decisions. With STONE PROTECT, the company offers a 100% bio-based and vegan stone protection oil for absorbent mineral surfaces such as natural stone, marble, travertine, concrete, brick, terracotta and clinker brick. The formulation based on MCT oil (medium-chain triglycerides) with bio-based functional components delivers a colour-enhancing effect and supports a water-repellent finish, reducing the penetration of moisture into the substrate. The product deliberately contains no mineral oil, animal ingredients, PFAS or fluorinated compounds, silicones, or added plastics and microplastic particles, and is manufactured in Germany. STONE PROTECT is sold directly via the online shop with free DHL shipping within Germany; further applications and surface solutions are planned.
