We are now able to solve some typical problems of natural stone laying such as: cleanliness, protection, consolidation and superficial finishing. We have studied a series of new products together with an important chemistry company. Given the number of natural stones available on the market (marble, granite, porphyry, basalt, sandstone, gneiss, …) we have studied the new products bearing in mind the characteristics of each natural stone. We have distinguished between the superficial finishing (shiny or opaque) and the working areas (indoor or outdoor). It is easy to choose which product better satisfies your needs in the following catalogue.
solidstone: antidust hardening for light colored stones
Range of use
Solidstone is the ideal solution when you want to harden “soft” and dust giving stones. It also provides soft stones with oilproofing and abrasive resistance characteristics. It is a solution of poliuretanic resins that does not turn yellow and that hardens once in touch with humidity. Being very fluid and penetrating it can also be used on stones with little porosity.
Advantages
- Excellent penetrating power with a vanishing effect
- it hardens very quickly even when temperature is low (up to 3°C)
- it provides stone with immediate hardening, abrasive resistance, water, solvent,
- alkali and chemical agents resistance
- it does not turn yellow
Application
Clean the surface with Cleanstone or other cleansing products. Rinse carefully and dry excess water. After 1-2 days apply Solidstone with painting roll or brush smoothly. You can apply it more than once without letting too much time passing in-between coats (1 hour max). If you apply it vertically proceed with 0.15-0.2 kg/m2 and let it evaporate between the different coats.
Where to use it
Outdoor
Amount required
It depends on stone porosity: from a min of 10 m2/lt on porphyry or other similar stones to a max of 0.5 m2/l on very porous stones (over 2 cm penetration in ¾ coats)
