This is a polishing process for marble that improves the surface phase of Marble crystallization. The crystallization process consists in spraying liquid crystallization powder on the marble floor and polishing it carefully with steel wool placed under a standard weight single disc machine.
The steel wool attached to the machine generates abrasive heat and the product used reacts with the marble, creating a new compound in the marble. Magnesium silicate, fluoride, acid, and water are the most active components of crystallization products and chemicals. This process protects the marble by preventing the loss of color and preserving the shine of the stone.
The surface of the stone chemically alters the application of crystallization products, and it is not possible to return the stone to its unaltered marble state. The only technique to remove the crystallized layer is to polish the floor with diamond polishing agents, also called abrasives.
What is Marble crystallization powder and who uses it?
This is a process that uses chemicals to alter the surface of the floor. The process is similar to the traditional factory polishing of marble. The portable marbling machine creates a new marble surface by directly penetrating a diamond abrasive into a dry, clean surface.
It uses only for cleaning marble indoors and is suitable at all levels for practical applications such as offices, shopping malls, public buildings, private homes, and hotels.
Advantages of Marble crystallization
Even the best-polished floors cannot compete with crystallized surfaces. As a result, a true mirror image achieves and a fascinating aesthetic effect achieve. There is no room for dust accumulation and maintenance time reduce to a minimum.
This unique method uses amazing abrasives and machinery to restore the marble to its original luster. This method polishes the surface of the marble itself, so no chemicals need to strip it. Nothing is left behind to make the marble shine brighter. Best of all, crystallization is not only inexpensive but requires little maintenance.
Process of Marble crystallization
Grinding
This method involves grinding the surface of the floor with diamond wheels to remove large reserves of stone. This method recommends when the tiles are an essentially uneven grip. It is also recommended if the marble has deep scratches or stains.
Honing
This process involves smoothing the stone with diamond wheels to remove scratches. Keep in mind that this process does not help remove defective sides. However, it does round the edges of the stone, giving it a smooth edge.
Polishing
The high gloss of marble is the result of polishing with a fine abrasive. Many marble polishers are transitioning from using diamond abrasives to polish the stone to using abrasive powders to achieve a better final polish.
Abrasive powders can apply to the stone using a floor machine, polyester fiber pad, and water. The abrasive powder uses in the form of a slurry until a gloss achieves. Damp wipe the floor to remove excess dust and proceed to rinse the floor. This is a relatively simple process but requires a deft hand.
Crystallization
This procedure describes how to polish marble and maintain the shine of its surface. The process consists of spraying a liquid onto the marble floor and then polishing it with conditioned steel wool in a polishing machine. This method helps to protect the surface of the stone and give it shine.
Crystallization is one of the most important methods of marble polishing
It is a type of wet polishing. Crystallization is done by applying a crystallizing agent to a small piece of floor and polishing with a nylon or steel wool pad (depending on the technique chosen).
After crystallization, the stone floor shines in new splendor. The colors become more vivid and the finish looks freshly washed. The effect of crystallization is long-lasting and strengthens the structure of the stone, makes it hard and resistant to wear, gives the floor back its shine, and provides an anti-slip effect.
Routine maintenance after crystallization
Due to the high cost of crystallization of marble floors, this work can not be done frequently (once every 2-3 days). Constant walking on crystallized marble floors leads to a daily decrease in the degree of gloss. Therefore, it is important to maintain the crystallized marble floor to extend the time between the two crystallization cycles.
To maintain crystallized marble floors
Dampen the floor and mop it with a neutral detergent and a microfiber mop. This should be done according to the wear and tear of the floor.
Use maintenance products. Use a single slice of the marble care product to prevent the gloss level from dropping too quickly. This crystallization process can uses on all types of marble and is a very good way to ensure a longer life and improve appearance.
