David.

BAL Single part flexy, assuming it isn't a timber floor and I can highly recommend Mapei Ultracolour Plus. Wouldn't be galaxy Black you are laying by any chance?

I used Lithofin StainStop MN on the granite floor I did. Also used the same on a marble floor recently. As a test I coated an offcut piece of marble and checked the moisture absorption against an untreated piece. Remarkable effect I have to say. Much akin to a well wax car, the water beads on the surface. Granite doesn't take much application as it is much harder and more moisture resistant than marble. Just follow the instructions on the tin and take your time.
