Técnicas de beneficiamento do Patagônia

Material brasileiro com muito apelo comercial devido sua excentricidade, composta por minerais quartzo, Micas e Feldspato que abrangem grandes dimensões, e sua translucidez proporcionada por grandes cristais de quartzo é excelente para ornamentar painéis verticais com retro iluminação em ambientes como salas de jantar, escritórios, banheiros e lavabos de alto padrão. Este Pegmatito de composição granítica de quartzo, mica, feldspato e minerais acessórios conta com uma história exclusiva no seu processo de formação geológica pode trazer em sua composição minerais como granada, Turmalina e Zircão. Mistura irregular de tons claros (branco, bege, cinza) com contrastes escuros (preto/marrom) e áreas translúcidas de quartzo.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION TO THE MANUFACTURER (marbler)

Este material dever ser movimentado com total cautela, pois o encontro entre os minerais são frágeis e podem gerar fissuras se movimentado bruscamente,

Cutting methodology: 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 Pyramid model PR30 (same used in Dekton), Performance Model PS 32 – 350mm,

Waterproofing in the cutting area: por se tratar de um produto com baíssima absorção de água e pouco poros, não se faz necessário a impermeabilização da superfície, recomendamos apenas a proteção das áreas de corte como boca de pia, furos de torneira, lixeira, grelha e outras.

In Brazil = Rock Shield Nano – Chemistone, Nano Effect – AKEMI, Idea Gold – Bellinzonni.

Abroad: Idea Gold – Bellinzoni, Stain Proof – Alicante, Proseal – Tenax.

Gluing the pieces: To ensure the quality of the gluing of the pieces, we recommend the following glues:

Brasil e exterior: Platinum – AKEMI, Titanium – Tenax, Spezial tak – Bellinzonni

NOTE: It's important to strictly follow the manufacturer's recommended glue-catalyst ratio. Remember that in mild temperatures, the glue requires a little more time to cure. It's important to remove the protective screen at the cutting site to ensure full adhesion of the glue.

Laying parts on vertical panels: For installing vertical panels, bench tops, and baseboards, we recommend using PU 40 polyurethane adhesive; remember that the wall surface must be level and free of dust and other dirt. After applying PU 40 and installing the piece, we recommend waiting the manufacturer's suggested curing time before releasing the area for use. For mortar, always use white ACII, as per the brands suggested in the topics below.

Product recommendation: Hybrid glue AK 100 – AKEMI, TK PU40 white – AKEMI, PU 40 multi gray – Barone, PU 40 – Tekbond

NOTE: Em casos de painéis retro iluminados, recomendamos que, entre o painel de led e a peça recomendamos que seja colocado uma lona branca translúcida para evitar que o led apareça na frente o painel quando aceso.

Flooring installation: This material isn't widely used for flooring, but for installations, we recommend using mortar with high chemical adhesion and flexible properties. For grouting, we recommend a waterproof and flexible product. Although this product is very hard, it has low thermal expansion, so it's essential to respect the expansion joints between floors and between the floor and walls.

Recomendação: Argamassa Quartzo D – AKEMI, Argamassa cimentcola ACIII branca flaxível – Quartzolit, Argamassa Votomassa interna/externa ACIII branca Votoran. Rejunte Premium Super polimério flexível AKEMI, rejunte epóxi Quartzolit,

NOTE: Although it is highly scratch resistant, this material is not recommended for outdoor flooring, as it can yellow over time.

Post-construction 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 and the resin layer applied to the pores and fractures of the rock.

Recomendação: Pós-obra detergente limpa piso – Bellinzonni, PCS Alcalino – Piso Clean, detergente Basic Cleaner – marca AKEMI,  AlkaFlor -  Marca ChemiStone.

Post-construction protection: For this material, it is not necessary to apply water repellents after construction, just cleaning with water and neutral detergent.
