The Perfect Quality of Seiko Carving
Whether it is new stone or renovated stone, with normal use and the passage of time, the wear and tear of the stone will become more and more severe, and its luster will also decrease.
timeliness
Stone must be maintained in a timely manner to achieve the desired level. If the glossiness decreases beyond the maintenance recovery ability, what would happen? It cannot reach the level of reply.
The correct maintenance method is to adopt maintenance techniques in a timely manner before the decrease in stone glossiness exceeds the recovery ability of maintenance measures. After the maintenance is completed, the glossiness can basically recover to the original level, so that the stone can be maintained as new for a long time and in an ideal state of use.
Due to its natural formation characteristics and the presence of various chemical forms, stone determines that it will undergo pathological changes and weathering damage in its environment, which is caused by its internal factors. On the other hand, the deterioration of the usage environment, such as acid rain, pollution, humidity, etc., is also the main cause of various problems and lesions in stone materials. The consequences of these problems and lesions are serious. The losses caused by natural weathering and destruction of ancient stone cultural relics, as well as various natural damages and diseases of building stone materials today, are enormous. So, how to effectively prevent and minimize the occurrence of these damages and lesions is becoming increasingly important. Waxing was once commonly used as a method of protecting stone. It is often used on paved stone floors. But its protective effect on stone is limited, with poor weather resistance, unsatisfactory anti fouling effect, and easy adhesion of dust. Nowadays, people have found that waxing can also cause some harm to stone because it is used as an airtight sealing and protective material applied to the surface of the stone. After the pores of the stone are sealed, the moisture inside and behind cannot be released, and it accumulates inside the stone for a long time, causing damage to the stone. There is also a type of liquid wax commonly applied to interior walls, which is a film material with the main drawback of affecting the natural texture of the stone. The emergence of permeable protective products is a major progress in the development and research of stone protective products, but their application time in China is not very long. This type of product mostly uses solvents or water as a medium to bring some effective waterproof materials into the interior of the stone, forming a deep protective barrier that keeps water and some liquid pollutants out. This permeable protective product not only does not change the natural texture of the stone, but also maintains its breathability. Its performance is superior and scientifically reasonable. However, due to differences in the materials used, some products may have different waterproof, anti fouling, and anti oil effects, but most products have better effects.
For the selection and use of stone protection products, in addition to understanding product performance, the following points should also be noted:
(1) Compatibility. Choose products that do not affect the color of the stone. If it is wet pasting construction, it is necessary to check whether it will affect the bonding strength between the stone and cement when processing the back of the stone.
(2) In the case of wet pasting construction, it is necessary to handle the back and side of the stone well, so it is important to focus on selecting protective agents with good waterproof effects.
(3) The selection of protective agents for ground stone should not only include waterproofing treatment on the back, but also appropriate protective treatment on the front of the stone according to different usage environments. Some special places, such as hospitals, should choose products with good anti fouling performance, and hotels should choose protective products with good anti fouling and anti oil effects.
(4) The significance of protecting the back of dry hanging stone is no longer significant. For the front, appropriate protective products can be selected for treatment based on the usage environment and the characteristics of the stone.
(5) For stones that are prone to pathological changes, such as gray white granite and marble, they often rust or turn yellow under humid conditions. It is important to do a good job of waterproofing treatment, and choose a protective agent with excellent waterproofing effect.
(6) For granite marble with high water absorption and loose material, it is necessary to choose products with good waterproof, anti fouling, and anti splash effects when used in public environments. This way, once contaminated, it is easy to clean.
