Resin coating of textures – information
- Covering of the stone’s surface with resin causes the micropores to close. Therefore the stone becomes more resistant to the effects of moisture and water can not penetrate its structure.
- Resin coating allows for permanent intensification of the natural tone of the material.
- There are no contraindications to use resin coating on every stage of production of masonry products.
- The use of pigment resins allows for changing the tone and even the colour of the stone. As a result, the clients have an even bigger variety of colours to choose from.
- Resin coating is helpful in achieving the effect of polished surfaces in stones, that would otherwise require a prior impregnation.
- Covering of the stone’s surface with resin makes it even and smooth. It allows for filling in of all furrows, small holes and scratches that occur in basalts, certain kinds of granite, travertine and certain varieties of marbles, onyxes and limestones.
- In most of the cases, only resin coating allows for achieving perfectly smooth surface, that provides the effect of mirror glass.
- Resin coating causes the material to become electrostatically indifferent, so that no dust gathers on its surface. This is a perfect solution that will be particularly appreciated by housewives and allergy sufferers.
- Resin coating protects the material from direct contact with chemicals that could possibly react with it, causing fading, discoloration or unaesthetic spots.
- Resin coating of products meant for outdoor use makes their surface “self-cleaning”. The rain and wind keeps it in perfect shape.
