Epoxy resins are also used to polish natural stone surfaces, filling plates and retrofit stone surfaces. These fillers are mainly used for aesthetic effects to remove holes and cracks found on the surface of the material. Many different types of solvent-free epoxy resins are available providing viscosity, color and enhanced curing times dependent on the stone type and processes conditions.<\/p>\n<p>Epoxy resin systems provide added strength and durability to granite and other stone surfaces, helping to fix many structural defects by penetrating micro cracks, lines and pits. Because of their bonding characteristics, epoxy resins are also used when combining other architectural details such as aluminum honeycomb, glass and steel to natural stone plates, enabling stronger more durable results. Natural stone plates overall have become stronger and provide an aesthetic solution gaining popularity and confidence among industry.<\/p>\n<h4>HOW IS IT APPLIED AND HOW DOES IT WORK?<\/h4>\n<p>Today there are hundreds of epoxy systems available all with different physical properties dependent on the type of material (marble\/granite). Systems are chosen in accordance with the capabilities of the production facility, texture and color of the stone and expected final results.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n\t<div id=\"col-113577684\" class=\"col medium-6 small-12 large-6\"  data-animate=\"fadeInRight\">\n\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<div style=\"font-size: 92%;\">\n<p>Before applying epoxy resins, to marble or granite, the surface of the stone should be examined. In order for the resin to absorb throughout, the surface of the stone should be cleaned and dried thoroughly. Once completely dried, the resin can be applied homogeneously, in the correct ratio, to the whole surface of the stone, allowing for the epoxy to penetrate deep into the small imperfections of the natural surface. It is important to note that during the etching process, the focus is primarily on sanding the excess resin applied on the plate. This will prevent the epoxy resin from forming a film on top of the natural stone, bolstering the intermediate decks and micro-cracks. <\/p>\n<p>This process should be done in a controlled environment where the appropriate etching, sizing and final inspection of the material can be conducted; utilizing the use of convention floor\/tunnel furnaces and the proper ambient conditions.<\/p>\n<p>New generation polymer technologies contribute to the production of natural stone surfaces with the use of higher technical epoxy system. As a result, some of the world\u2019s most beautiful marbles and granite are made available to the building industry on a larger scale and at lower cost.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-685 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/tardigrade.com.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/5-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"479\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tardigrade.com.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/5-2.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.tardigrade.com.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/5-2-600x359.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.tardigrade.com.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/5-2-300x180.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.tardigrade.com.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/5-2-768x460.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\n<style>\n#section_1097089570 {\n  padding-top: 50px;\n  padding-bottom: 50px;\n  background-color: rgb(245, 245, 245);\n}\n#section_1097089570 .section-bg.bg-loaded {\n  background-image: url(https:\/\/www.tardigrade.com.tr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/section-bg.jpg);\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/section>\n\t\n<div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-690179517\">\n\n\t<div id=\"col-933022239\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  data-animate=\"fadeInUp\">\n\t\t<div class=\"col-inner text-center\"  >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n<a href=\"#test\" target=\"_self\" class=\"button primary\"  >\n    <span>REQUEST INFORMATION<\/span>\n  <\/a>\n\n\t<div id=\"test\"\n\t     class=\"lightbox-by-id lightbox-content mfp-hide lightbox-white \"\n\t     style=\"max-width:600px ;padding:20px\">\n\t\t<div role=\"form\" class=\"wpcf7\" id=\"wpcf7-f5-o1\" lang=\"tr-TR\" dir=\"ltr\">\n<div class=\"screen-reader-response\"><p role=\"status\" aria-live=\"polite\" aria-atomic=\"true\"><\/p> <ul><\/ul><\/div>\n<form action=\"\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1368#wpcf7-f5-o1\" method=\"post\" class=\"wpcf7-form init\" novalidate=\"novalidate\" data-status=\"init\">\n<div style=\"display: none;\">\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7\" value=\"5\" \/>\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7_version\" value=\"5.4.2\" \/>\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7_locale\" value=\"tr_TR\" \/>\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7_unit_tag\" value=\"wpcf7-f5-o1\" \/>\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7_container_post\" value=\"0\" \/>\n<input type=\"hidden\" name=\"_wpcf7_posted_data_hash\" value=\"\" \/>\n<\/div>\n<p><label> Your Name (required)<br \/>\n    <span class=\"wpcf7-form-control-wrap your-name\"><input type=\"text\" name=\"your-name\" value=\"\" size=\"40\" class=\"wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-text wpcf7-validates-as-required\" aria-required=\"true\" aria-invalid=\"false\" \/><\/span> <\/label><\/p>\n<p><label> Your Email (required)<br \/>\n    <span class=\"wpcf7-form-control-wrap your-email\"><input type=\"email\" name=\"your-email\" value=\"\" size=\"40\" class=\"wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-text wpcf7-email wpcf7-validates-as-required wpcf7-validates-as-email\" aria-required=\"true\" aria-invalid=\"false\" \/><\/span> <\/label><\/p>\n<p><label> Subject<br \/>\n    <span class=\"wpcf7-form-control-wrap your-subject\"><input type=\"text\" name=\"your-subject\" value=\"\" size=\"40\" class=\"wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-text\" aria-invalid=\"false\" \/><\/span> <\/label><\/p>\n<p><label> Your Message<br \/>\n    <span class=\"wpcf7-form-control-wrap your-message\"><textarea name=\"your-message\" cols=\"40\" rows=\"10\" class=\"wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-textarea\" aria-invalid=\"false\"><\/textarea><\/span> <\/label><\/p>\n<p><input type=\"submit\" value=\"Send\" class=\"wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-submit\" \/><\/p>\n<div class=\"wpcf7-response-output\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/div><\/form><\/div>\t<\/div>\n\t\n\t\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"page-blank.php","meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tardigrade.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1368"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tardigrade.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tardigrade.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tardigrade.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.tardigrade.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1368"}],"version-history":[{"count":12,"href":"https:\/\/www.tardigrade.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1368\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2906,"href":"https:\/\/www.tardigrade.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1368\/revisions\/2906"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.tardigrade.com.tr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1368"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
