How to make crystals for stone wall renovation and marble wall maintenance precautions

The appearance of stone will definitely be affected after a long period of wear and tear. So when this happens, do we have to replace it with new stone? Now there is no need to be so troublesome. We can use stone renovation technology to renovate old stone. So, how to make this kind of stone wall renovation crystal? What is the effect after marble renovation? Let’s take a look at the precautions for marble wall maintenance.

Stone crystallization procedure

1. Main consumable materials for stone crystallization

1. Main materials: K1, K2, K3 crystal agents. K1 potion is a stone crystal mirror agent, suitable for darker marble. K2 potion is a stone surface hardening agent, used to harden and polish the finished stone surface, forming a protective film and crystal mirror on the surface. K3 is made of durable natural wax resin, which can form a high gloss on the stone surface, can repair stone scratches, has a long-lasting effect, and has anti-slip properties.

2. Preparation of other materials: neutral detergent, marble glue, clean water

2. Main mechanical equipment and tools for stone crystallization

Grinder, Floor mopping machine, water suction machine, multi-functional floor scrubber, blow dryer, red scouring pad, white polishing pad, bucket, floor mop, small trowel, rag

3. Stone crystallization operation process:

1. Remove the wax layer and dirt on the surface of the stone.

2. When the stone has been worn, the surface is uneven or deeply scratched, the surface of the stone needs to be refurbished and polished until it is flat and smooth.

3. Add crystal powder to water to make a paste and apply it evenly on the surface of the stone. Spray an appropriate amount of water to keep the stone moist. Then use a floor scrubber or a special crystallizer with a whitening pad for polishing. , (keep the ground moist during the polishing process and do not overdry it). The working area is about 3 to 5 square meters each time.

4. After the surface of the stone to be treated forms a bright crystal surface, use a wiper to scrape the slurry to the next operating area, and only need to add a small amount of new crystal powder to continue polishing. Repeat this polishing method until a large amount of foam appears on the ground, use a water suction machine to absorb it, and then add new crystal powder and operate according to the above method.

5. After the entire crystallization operation on the ground is completed, wash it with clean water and blot it dry.

Marble crystallization properties and precautions

1. Performance description:

The main component of marble is calcium and magnesium salts, which are chemically unstable. After renovation and polishing , a process (vitrification) adopted to increase surface hardness, with the purpose of solidifying the surface molecular structure, increasing wear resistance, and strengthening the surface hardness of marble. Marble crystal powder can decompose the calcium carbonate on the marble surface and free it from the stone structure. Then, the active ions in the crystal powder react with the calcium ions dissociated on the surface to produce hard and dense calcified crystals. Therefore, the surface layer after crystallization will be more wear-resistant and less likely to be scratched. If treated properly, when the crystallization condition of the crystallized surface layer is dense and good, it will also have certain effects on the stone's gloss, antifouling, and waterproof properties.

II. Main ingredients: inorganic acid, composite material, SH-98, SH-98W, SH-98WF

III. Precautions:

1. If treated improperly or improperly, the crystallized layer may cause the original marble surface color and texture to deviate from the original state, causing color difference.

2. The crystallizing agent is a strongly acidic treatment agent, so special care should be taken to avoid damage.

3. The surface of the stone must be completely clean before treatment, otherwise it may cause uneven surface gloss.

4. When using poor quality crystal powder, it may block the pores of the stone that breathe. Therefore, special attention should be paid to preventing possible stone cracks and other diseases in the future.

Precautions for crystallization maintenance of marble walls.

Stone maintenance: The renovation and maintenance of wall stone is different from that of floor paving stone. Due to the different equipment used, wall stone care is more time-consuming and requires certain skills than floor stone.

1. Mechanical selection

Since large-scale stone renovation equipment cannot be used for grinding and polishing, portable polishing machines can only be used for grinding and polishing. In general, renovation care can be carried out according to the owner's requirements. Some customers will choose to wax the wall stone. Unlike the ground, which will have many scratches due to frequent foot traffic, waxing is also a feasible solution. However, waxing is a physical covering, which will clog the pores on the stone surface, making it airtight and prone to disease. Therefore, if you want to maintain the beauty of wall stone for a long time, you still need to go through the same process of jointing, patching, polishing, and crystal surface treatment as the ground.

2. Selection of grinding discs

Due to the uneven control of the strength of the portable polishing machine, it is easy to have deep scratches when polishing with ordinary grinding discs, which will cause the owner to If we are not satisfied, it will consume a lot of our time and the results may not be ideal. Therefore, when renovating wall stones, it is best to use dry grinding discs, so that they will not generate heat during grinding and the effect will be ideal. We can also use sandpaper when grinding marble columns, walls, and corners in areas that cannot be removed by a portable grinder. This will not produce deep scratches like when grinding with a grinder, making it easy to repair and the effect is very good.

3. Marble crystal product selection

In terms of product selection, there are countless marble crystal maintenance products on the market, with varying prices, and it is difficult to choose. Beijing Aifu Stone Maintenance, Specializing in stone renovation and crystallization maintenance projects for more than ten years. Based on so many years of construction experience, we recommend the use of F10 marble crystal powder. It has strong versatility and is a neutral weak acid that does not burn the stone. It lays a solid foundation for the later maintenance of the stone. , in terms of stone protective agent, it is recommended to use F10 stone protective agent, which is often used in hotels and other places. The gloss, brightness, and durability are quite good.
