Stone waxing maintenance tips

First, the purpose of waxing the polished surface of stone

At present, there are many kinds of waxes for maintenance of tiles and stones on the market, including water-based floor wax, oily semi-solid stearic acid wax, solvent-based oil wax, solvent-based acrylic wax, etc. Their basic characteristics are different. The results on the stone are not the same, but the purpose of the use is to increase the gloss of the polished surface of the stone, hoping to make the stone bright and bright, and always keep it as new.

Second, the stone maintenance wax should pay attention to matters

(1) Wax water containing coloring materials may cause stone pollution

Stone is a porous material that may absorb the coloring material contained in the wax water, causing contamination of the stone surface. Therefore, when selecting the wax for stone maintenance, the wax water added with the color should be used as much as possible, or before the stone is used, it is confirmed that the surface of the stone has been effectively waterproofed and oil-proofed, and the surface of the stone can be fully cured. Make it resistant to pollution.

(2) Waxing for a long time may cause the surface of the stone to be produced:

Yellowing phenomenon, but the use of waxing maintenance in areas with large traffic can delay the wear of stone. There are many kinds of wax water on the market, and there are many brands. Its characteristics and quality are extremely difficult to understand and correct for the average consumer. use. Therefore, the case of wax water adversely affecting stone has been reported. Some of the waxes have unsaturated hydrocarbons, which will yellow out after long-term exposure in the air, causing contamination of the stone surface. Therefore, the use of wax water for the maintenance of the polished surface of the stone should avoid the long-term accumulation on the surface of the stone. If the consumer cannot grasp the characteristics of the wax water before use, he or she may have doubts about the wax product that he wants to use. Domestic research units conduct their oxidation or daylight acceleration experiments to see if they are suitable for use. Based on the above reasons, some theories point out that stone should not be waxed and maintained. However, another point of view is that waxing maintenance, in addition to increasing the surface gloss effect, in areas where it is necessary to create a style of environment and frequent traffic of stone traffic, such as hotel halls, halls, corridors, etc., waxing is possible. The maintenance items to be considered, on the one hand, can highlight the magnificence of the polished surface, while also slowing down the rate at which the stone is worn by the foot (the wax can provide a material that slows the wear rate), in general, these Due to the high frequency of pedestrian and cargo circulation, the problem of residual wax on the surface of the stone is less obvious. The consumption should pay attention to what kind of wax should be used and how long the maintenance interval should be.

The stone laid in the home part is very limited due to its small amount of traffic. The natural stone produced in China has reached a considerable level of surface gloss. Therefore, the maintenance of home stone should be placed on the surface. In the case of pollution conservation, it is recommended to use the stone curing agent (the effective period after use is longer, can be kept for more than several years) as a maintenance method, and the daily maintenance of the general floor can be carried out with the mop and the neutral lotion, without regard to the regularity. Use waxing.

Third, the water-based wax may contain acid and alkali substances, should be used in the process of stone maintenance in addition to special conditions.

In general, it is not recommended to use acidic or basic substances to contact the surface. Because some people's stone encounters acidic or alkaline substances, adverse effects will occur. For example, acid often causes oxidation of granite and pyrite to cause yellowing: acid will decompose carbonated marble, and the surface will be eroded. : Alkali will erode the granules of feldspar and quartz minerals in granite, causing the phenomenon of grain peeling. The wax or treatment agent of the aqueous system most often contains acid and alkali substances. Sometimes the wax itself is non-neutral. Sometimes the additives in the wax water contain acid and alkali (such as the ammonia salt type humectant, which is alkaline). Therefore, it is recommended that before using the stone maintenance wax, the wax water used should be tested with a wide range of test papers (usually available for chemical raw materials) to confirm that the wax water used is safe and non-toxic.

4. Maintenance agents and waxes are different chemicals and should be avoided.

Wax can increase the gloss of the stone surface, curing agent can effectively protect the stone from pollution, so can you mix the two to achieve a double effect? ​​The answer is no, because this practice usually achieves the opposite effect. The mixed solution of wax and curing agent can not even achieve the basic functions of the two kinds of medicaments. The main function is the material of the curing agent resin, and the purpose is to produce a proper curing layer (possibly tangible or invisible film) on the stone surface. The main point is to emphasize the long-term waterproof and oil-proof function, or part of it is to emphasize the purpose of adding color, and the wax is mostly filled material, its main function is to fill the uneven surface of the stone to improve its Gloss, the most efficient conditions for the use of the two materials are not the same. If they are mixed, the following conditions may occur:

1. When the wax is mixed with the osmotic curing agent, the wax will increase the surface tension of the stone surface when the mixture is still in a liquid state, the penetration ability of the curing agent becomes weak, the wax starts to condense and blocks the pores, so that the curing agent cannot penetrate. Stone. Therefore, this state is not much different from the wax-only maintenance.

2. When the wax is mixed with the drape-type curing agent, the drape-type curing agent usually forms a glossy film on the surface of the stone. When mixed with the wax, the film-forming properties are changed, the mechanical strength is deteriorated, and the gloss is lowered. Therefore, it is recommended that stone maintenance treatment and stone waxing maintenance should be regarded as two different things. The procedure used should be stone conservation treatment, waxing and maintenance. Because the maintenance and treatment of stone is the basic maintenance behavior of stone, it should be used before the stone is installed. The maintenance of stone waxing is a daily maintenance behavior, which should be further used after the stone maintenance program is completed.  

Tool Bag Tote

Tool bag tote is a type of tool bag that is designed with a large open main compartment and wide handles for easy carrying. It is usually made of durable materials such as heavy-duty nylon or canvas and is reinforced with sturdy stitching and metal hardware.
