Gray travertine tile is a porous marine sedimentary rock.Because of the pores in the process of diagenesis, and because silver travertine tile main component is calcium carbonate or magnesium carbonate,tumbled travertine floor tiles is easily dissolved and corroded by water. There will be many natural, irregular holes.
The color of the travertine is mostly beige, which makes people feel gentle, rich in texture and clear in stripes. The decorative buildings often have strong cultural and historical charm, and are used by many buildings in the world on walls and floors.
Walls such as: Italy's Roman arena is mostly travertine. Although it has experienced the 2000 winds and frosts, it is still magnificent. The Bank of China headquarters building and the Chinese Embassy in the United States have used more than 20,000 square meters of travertine.
Of course, there are also cases applied to the ground. Due to the existence of a large number of holes in the travertine, the water absorption rate of the travertine floor medallions rises, the strength decreases, the weather resistance is poor, and at the same time, due to the large number of pores, a lot of dust is accumulated and it is difficult to clean.
So, how should the travertine be processed to avoid this problem? Let's share it with you in the following small series.
1. Dry grinding cleaning:
Dry grinding with marble 150 mesh grinding disc once, remove the aging layer and oxide layer on the white travertine subway tile surface, open the pores of the tumbled travertine subway tile to ensure the effective penetration of the stone protective agent in the later stage;
2, brush protection:
The composite nano-silicone protective agent is applied to prevent the water in the silver travertine tile grinding process from entering the tumbled travertine floor tiles, causing the walnut travertine backsplash disease. Pay attention to the requirements of keeping the antique travertine tile clean and dry during operation. Pour the protective agent into a clean and dry bucket and use a watering device to moisten it to ensure a uniform and sufficient amount. The general protective agent can stay on the surface of the stone for 20 minutes to 30 minutes. Dry, that is, it is considered as sufficient; after the protective agent is finished, it can be cured for 48 hours at normal temperature, and the temperature is decreased by 10 degrees for every 10 degrees, and the curing time is extended by 2-4 times; ;
3, open seam glue:
After the surface of the gray travertine tile protectant is dry, the seam can be opened with a dust-free slitting machine to make up the marble glue;
4,silver travertine tile backsplash grinding:
After the protective agent curing time is over, the flattening 18 travertine tile is ground with 150 mesh water;
5,3x6 travertine tile pickling:
After the 150 mesh grinding is finished, the surface of the turkish travertine tile is cleaned and dried, and then pickled.
The operation is as follows:
Mix with granite cleaner + granite water spot + water in a ratio of 1:1:1, then pick it up 2-3 times with a floor brush or hand brush (sour wash until the hole is cleaned), two and a half times each time. After the cleaning is waited for 40 minutes, the drug solution is sucked up by a water absorbing machine. Note: This step must not be washed, otherwise it will not be glued;
6, repair the hole:
According to the requirements of Party A, select the corresponding marble glue, and use the straight plate with the sawtooth plate to ensure the air emptying of the hole. After the glue is dried, it is ground again with 150 mesh until there is no residual glue on the surface of the china travertine tile;
7, step by step grinding:
After the 150 mesh grinding is completed, it is ground to 3000 mesh step by step;
8, brush protection:
Choose a waterproof or oil-repellent oil-based protective agent according to the place where the silver travertine tile is located. It is required to follow the principle of clean, dry, sufficient, uniform, grade, and health protection after applying the protective agent after dry grinding gray travertine tile. The curing time can be applied after the protective agent is dried;
9, according to the chapter polishing:Choose tumbled travertine floor tiles polishing agent for polishing.
