The newly laid granite floor is not suitable for base wax and top wax: Why the newly laid granite floor is not suitable for base wax and top wax? We can compare it with marble and draw conclusions.
The surface of marble, whether new or old, is composed of calcium carbonate crystals. The particles are large, so the pores are large. Even after careful polishing, the uneven interface can still be seen under the microscope. These fine pores are for wax falling Advantages: When the primer wax is applied, the molecular weight of the primer wax is small, and the penetration is strong. Coupled with capillary action, the primer wax is quickly absorbed on the surface of the marble to form a film. When the moisture in the primer wax is completely volatilized, the adsorption force will be better. Large, this kind of adsorption force is very important, it is used to counteract the force exerted on its surface by people walking and dragging objects, so as not to make the wax surface off the ground.
As for the newly laid granite floor, its main components are crystals of quartz, mica, and feldspar. The density is high and the hardness is extremely high. Coupled with manual polishing, the surface of the granite is almost non-porous. Therefore, when the wax falls, the bottom wax Impenetrable, no capillary action, of course, there is no or only very weak adsorption force, such a wax surface when people walk on it, it is easy to fall off, making the waxing work useless. In view of this situation, for the newly laid granite, within half a year to one year after laying, it is only necessary to spray and polish with spray cleaning and maintenance wax to prevent stains from penetrating into the granite and maintain its surface brightness. Because the flow of people passing through each day is different in direction and strength, the degree of abrasion on the granite surface is also different, after a period of time.
