Why do we use epoxy? Does it work on Granite?
Natural stones and materials have defects ingrained in them, though the technology is evolving and defects getting reduced drastically, despite all these facts, there remains room for some defects to creep in. What these defects ultimately result in is that it weakens the materials and at times leave them too fragile to be polished. Various solutions have been proposed and are being used to get rid of this difficulty. The most accepted and widely used material has been polyester resins for marble surfaces and it has been in use for decades now. But, the same solutions are not very well suited for Granite, because the chemical structure of marble and granite vary to a large extent. Granite is much harder than marble and both also differ in absorption rates. In this Blog, we will discuss how granite epoxy developed as one of the best solutions for granite. One of the issues that are being faced is the thin and microscopic cracks that pose a challenge for the polyester resins as they
