MORE® AntiEtch™ · Applied by Fox
Marble should be lived on.
Explore professionally applied protection against etching on eligible acid-sensitive stone. We help you decide whether MORE® AntiEtch™ fits your surface and everyday use.
For the marble you use every day
Protect the finish you want to keep.
Acidic spills can leave dull marks on marble even when it has been sealed. MORE® AntiEtch™ is a separate surface treatment intended to address etching on eligible stone.
We review the material, current finish, and use together. Existing etching or damage may need restoration first; protection does not replace repair.

[00:04.500] [Dan Lopez] What happens is the top layer actually
[00:06.880] usually damages with a lot of marble and
[00:09.120] limestone. It's called etching. It basically burns the top layer of the
[00:12.740] surface off. That can only be repaired by
[00:15.260] re-sanding, re-buffing, or re-polishing.
[00:17.940] They came out with a coating called MORE
[00:19.620] AntiEtch, which we evaluated here at Fox
[00:21.900] Marble. We've done some studies on it and
[00:24.320] seen it actually applied to the surface.
[00:26.460] That actually bonds with UV lighting. It becomes very durable, very tough.
[00:31.400] It has low VOCs. It's a quick product to
[00:35.000] be applied. The other thing is it has a
[00:37.800] huge longevity to it. Sometimes it's very
[00:40.160] difficult to notice it's even on the counter.
[00:42.520] There are times where I've applied it to
[00:44.780] certain customers, and friends come in and
[00:46.880] they're like, "There's no coating." They're
[00:49.180] like, "Fox Marble installed this coating
[00:51.420] on top of my kitchen surface. I can't see
[00:53.720] it." It's there. That's the benefit to it.
[00:56.820] With MORE AntiEtch coating, the etching,
[00:59.940] the staining, it really helps prevent it.
Visual alternative
[00:00] Fox Marble and MORE logos appear above the title, Fox Marble on MORE AntiEtch. A card asks, What happens when natural stone etches? Dan Lopez speaks in the facility. His title identifies him as Stone Care Manager, Fox Marble. A close-up shows dull rings and marks on a pale stone surface.
[00:17] A second card asks, Why does Fox Marble use MORE AntiEtch? Cutaways show liquid poured onto a veined counter, a worker guiding a bright UV-light unit over the surface, gloved hands passing across it and a cloth wiping it.
[00:53] A finished kitchen has pale veined stone counters and a broad island. The video returns to Dan for his closing statement.
Material fit, preparation and care requirements are assessed for your particular surface.

Preparation makes a difference
Agree on the finish before protecting it.
The work may include restoring an existing finish, removing an old treatment, or addressing a damaged detail. Your estimate identifies what the surface needs first.
For a designer or contractor, the existing finish, edges, fixtures, and installation sequence are useful details to bring into that conversation.

Questions worth answering
Questions before you get started.
Will the stone look or feel different?
Appearance depends on the actual stone, finish, and application. We discuss the look and feel you want and the product’s limits before you decide.
What affects the estimate?
Area, existing damage, prior coatings, edges, and sink details can change the preparation. Two similarly sized surfaces may need different amounts of restoration before protection.
Do I need to remove faucets or other fixtures?
Do not remove anything just for the estimate. We identify access and any fixture preparation in the agreed scope before work is scheduled.
When can I use the countertop, and how do I care for it?
Application, cure, and care requirements depend on the product instructions and agreed work. We clarify return-to-use and cleaning guidance for your surface before scheduling.
What if the stone needs repair first?
A chip, open seam, crack, or unstable surface needs its own repair decision. We separate repair and finish restoration from the protection recommendation.
