2.Current Waterproofing Methods
Stone does not use "Protection" method Natural stone and artificial stone after using time often have phenomenon:

a.Limitations of this method:
-
The Silicone membrane creates an outer coating layer, obscuring the original veins and color of Stone, reducing the value of the Stone.
-
Under the impact of UV rays, dirt, environment, ... Stone surface is easily scratched, blistering, yellowing, irregular color.
-
During transport, installation, use, waterproofing layer is impacted and under pressure of weight, so it peels off; water, dirt, ... will penetrate into the Stone but not escape, causing the change of the original color of the Stone, even deforming the Stone surface.
-
When there is a problem, it’s difficult to treat and maintain.
b.Dye
