Técnicas de beneficiamento do Typhoon Bordeaux
O material denominado comercialmente como Granito Typhoon Bordeaux, é uma rocha brasileira extraída Fazenda Campestre–Itinga–MG. Geologicamente este material é um granito Pegmatóide com minerais entre 5 e 6 mm de cor predominantemente bege-amarelado, com manchas amarelas devido à presença de óxidos de ferro, a cor mais avermelhada e o resultado do óxido de ferro associado ao quartzo. Composta por 74% de quartzo, 4,71% de K-Feldspato, 19% de Plagioclásio e 1,68% de Silimanita, esta rocha se adequa muito bem em painéis verticais, bancadas, ilhas gourmets em ambientes internos. O Baixo percentual de micas e o alto índice de quartzo a torna uma rocha com excelente resistência ao arranhão.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR FABRICATORS (Stone Workers)
This material offers excellent workability for making countertops, sinks, stairs, and other pieces. It should be processed with the same care as a normal exotic rock, offering good impact and flexural strength, and excellent abrasion resistance due to its quartz content.
Cutting Method: to ensure the quality of cuts and grinding, we recommend diamond discs, saws, cups and grinding wheels made of soft metal alloy. In Brazil, we recommend tools from PS31, performance PS5.
Surface protection:
To ensure the material's vitality in terms of protection, we recommend using products that protect the color and are waterproof at the same time.
In both scenarios, we recommend the following products:
Tenax waterproofing and color activator – Easywet, creates a wet effect on the material.
Tenax – Counterpro anti-stain protector.
Bellinzoni Color Revitalizer – Grezzo Protector
OBS.: aplicar apenas quando houver pequenos sinais de perda da cor, ou após 3 anos de uso da peça (bancadas, pias, lavabos, etc,...
Adhesive bonding: to ensure the best adhesion quality, we recommend the following adhesives:
Brazil and abroad: Adhesives such as Fix Top components A and B, Tenax brand, Blitz Mástique, Bellinzonni brand, Marmofiz, Argacon brand.
NOTE: It is important to strictly follow the proportion of glue + catalyst recommended by the manufacturers. In this case, we recommend using a pigment to match the color pattern of the material.
Installation on sink countertops: We recommend installing countertops made of this material with corner brackets every 70 cm. Fixing should be done with gray or black PU40 polyurethane glue. Do not use industrial silicone, as this glue may stain the countertop surface.
Laying of internal and external floors. The mortar should be installed with white ACIII mortar. After installation, grout with flexible grout in the same color as the material. After the mortar has cured, we recommend applying a layer of one of the revitalizers mentioned above.
Post-installation cleaning and protection: All post-construction cleaning must be carried out using water and neutral detergent to remove residue; the use of acidic detergents is not permitted, as this type of detergent damages the waterproofing protection applied to the parts.
Recomendação: limpador pós-obra Quartzolit, Pós-obra, detergente limpa piso – Bellinzonni, PCS Alcalino – Piso Clean, detergente Basic Cleaner – marca AKEMI.
