I am searching for project specific experience with a UV resistant sealer for colored travertine. The object is to avoid fading, and we are in the deep south. Any sharing would be appreciated. |

Sorry, can't help with project experience. Have you talked to Prosoco? I think that's where I'd start |

Just curious. What are you using to 'color' the travertine?
I'd consider checking into a more permanent type product such as hydrolized lithium quartz from Sinak Corporation in San Diego, but I'm not sure it will protect the colorant. |

This is naturally occuring travertine in different colors. Several manufacturers have mentioned color enhancers. Any experiences with those formulas lasting in the sun belt? |

Look at products by Miracle Sealants Company
I've specified them on a number of projects where we used travertine. |
