Stone waxing can make the stone color bright. Stone wax is a water-soluble material, which will produce a protective film on the product. In this way, it can improve the brightness of the stone, on the other hand, it can also play a very good role in protection. Waxing is one of the most widely used methods to maintain stone floors in China's hotel industry, but experts also said that waxing is not necessarily desirable, because wax is an impermeable sealant. After waxing, although external water and moisture cannot enter the stone interior, it can prevent pollution to a certain extent, but the moisture inside and below the stone cannot be emitted due to the impact of the sealing wax, In this way, water vapor will accumulate inside the stone for a long time, which will lead to stone pathological changes; Moreover, wax will generally affect the natural color of stone, and regular waxing will damage the surface of stone and shorten the life of stone. Therefore, the developed countries in Europe and America basically do not use waxing to maintain the stone, but use stone curing agent.
Note 1: When using stone wax, attention should be paid to the selection of varieties and the reasonable arrangement of curing time. Some stones in the stone pictures may have yellowing problems. In fact, these problems are caused not only by the stone itself, but also by the unreasonable use of stone wax. There are many kinds of stone wax sold on the market now, and it is difficult for consumers to reasonably grasp when purchasing, so sometimes the selected stone wax does not meet their own stone demand. Therefore, in order to avoid damage to the stone surface due to improper use, many people have proposed not to use stone wax for maintenance. However, many people think it is necessary, because the waxing can improve the color of the stone surface and minimize the wear of the stone, such as those places with high use frequency, such as hotels, corridors, In these places, attention should be paid to the selection and maintenance schedule of stone wax.
Note 2: If the stone wax contains acid and alkali substances, we must pay attention to scientific and rational use, not blind. We can often see the appearance of some stones corroded by acid and alkali substances, from which we can see that the corrosion of acid and alkali substances on stones is very strong. Some water-based stone waxes contain acid-base substances, and most of the stones will have chemical reactions under the action of acid-base, which will damage the integrity of the stone surface and even the internal structure of the stone. Therefore, it is generally not recommended to use such stone wax containing acid and alkali. Before purchasing, you can conduct certain tests on the acid and alkali content of stone wax. There are relevant test papers on the market, so that you can determine whether you can correctly purchase.
Note 3: There are also some stones that have been polluted, and the color of these stones will change, which may be caused by incorrect use of stone wax. We know that stone is a kind of building material with many holes, so if the wax contains pigment, it will be easily absorbed by the stone, which will lead to pollution. When purchasing, we should pay attention not to buy the wax containing pigment as much as possible, or we should first waterproof the stone, so as to avoid the above problems.
