STONE PROTECTION




As our surroundary environment becomes more hazarade to natural materials, it is necessary to protect and care for them properly. Since the correct attention is necessary for natural materials we will select it from three main processes:

Primary cleaning
Upon completion of the contracted work, we clean the surfaces removing all remnants of cement, gypsum, grount, fraction of powder and then we prepare surface for deep cleaning.
We clean deep all organic and inorganic dirts from the existing surface.

Deep cleaning is procedure which provides long term protection of the porous surface of the material in question in from absorption of water, oil and other unwanted matter.

Maintenance is procedure by which the surface of the natural materials such as marble, granite and other decorative stone,is coated maintain to durability, aesthetics and hygiene standards.
Deep protected surfaces, have a simple maintenance process (which includes the use of non aggressive cleaners, rare cleaning, and the need for less cleansers).
Surface which are not deep protected it is necessary to dedicate special attention choosing the type of cleanser according to the types of materials depending on the of composition of the stone (limestone, granite, marble) and on method of surface treatment (polished, plated, burnt).
For surfaces where luster is lost, we choose appropriate tools for polishing, considering frequent use of the same.

DETERGENTS FOR CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

CT 55
CT 55 - acid detergent suitable for the removal of grout smears, salt efflorescence, cement, lime and floor plaster; removes rust stains, moulds and mineral concretions. Particularly suitable to remove white efflorescence from stoneware.

CT 51
CT 51 - highly alkaline viscous detergent to remove organic dirt, grease, moulds and air pollution from external and interior masonry. Thanks to its viscosity, it adheres perfectly to vertical walls for optimum cleaning.

POLICLEANER
POLICLEANER - degreasing liquid detergent, with decarbonising agents. Engineered to remove glue, light graffiti, resin films from floors or objects in natural and artificial stone. Excellent to remove moulds, algae and moss from masonry substrates, uncoated concrete, smooth plaster, brickwork and stone.

GS 10
GS 10 - neutral detergent suitable for routine cleaning of marble, granite, ceramic, terracotta, earthenware surfaces and waxed floors. Recommended for maintenance of substrates treated with our protective impregnants as it causes no damage to the stone conglomerate or the oil-water repellent treatment.

CT GEL 777
CT GEL 777 - viscous detergent to clean and remove resistant paints such as epoxy and polyurethane resins, graffiti made with markers or sprayed paint, polymeric films, printer ink and the like from terracotta, marble, granite, glass, brickwork, plaster coats and concrete surfaces. For professional use only.

WAX

NEW FLOOR WAX
NEW FLOOR WAX - wax specially designed for all indoor treated surfaces in natural stone, unglazed terracotta, Spanish terracotta, quarry tiles, bricks. This product forms a very resistant film and gives a warm shiny look. The protective film inhibits dirt deposition and makes cleaning easier.

DEEP PROTECTION

Deep protect with preparations CT 49, CT ECOLOGY SYSTEM is good for:
Vapor permeability
Resistance on UV-radiation
Simple use and fast polymerization
Reconstruction deep protect after 3-5 years, using only 10-20% originally used preparations
Ongoing maintenanace of protected surface without aggressive means for cleaning.

Preparations have this features:
Do not change natural look and colors
Prevent erosion surface which are sensitive on acid rain (limestone and marble)

CT 49
CT 49 - solvent-based stainproof oil-water repellent sealer for natural stone, terracotta, cement, artificial concrete-based compounds, porcelain stoneware, polished and glossy stone materials.

CT ECOLOGY SYSTEM
CT ECOLOGY SYSTEM - water-based stoneproof oil-water repellent treatment, specific for the protection of porous building and stone material, both natural and as a conglomerate; reduces the ingress of liquid and oily substances into the capillaries of the treated material.

CT 1000
CT 1000 - Siloxane waterproofing water-repellent sealer for the treatment of any porous surface. This product reduces water absorption by at least 80% and inhibits the formation of salt efflorescence, moulds and moss, while maintaining the breathability of the material.
Impregnator without silicone- vapor permeability
Reduced water absorption at least 80%
Waterproof protect at least 7-10 years
Prevent formation solitare
Prevent formation microflora (seaweed, moss, molds).
