Vacuum resin impregnation of marble, granite and stone

Technology presented today is a procedure for impregnating marble by means of an air vacuum: thanks to the vacuum, the resin penetrates deeper into the stone’s fine cracks, thus ensuring better restoration of the slabs and better polishing.

The resin-saturated cracks also prevent the infiltration of moisture from the laying surface.

Our customer has patented and developed the systems for vacuum resin coating, with the resin material being spread on the surface of the granite slabs (not by immersion), and has developed the characteristics of the resins to be used and the parameters of the process in its own research centre.

Apply, for this process and this plant, supplies the vacuum unit that you can see in the following photos:
