Production techhology

Artificial stone is based on the following components:

	Cement The composition of the artificial stone is part Portland cement: White cement M-600 (Turkey Production); Grey cement M-500 (manufactured Russian). Cost-effective is to use gray Portland cement. However, there are color decorative stone, which can be achieved only by using the white substrate.
	Sand Screenings of coarse sand with fractions of 0-5 mm.
	Special supplements Special additives affect the increase in moisture resistance performance and strength of the product. These include: special additives; plasticizers, which increases the strength of concrete and improves the workability; hardening accelerator.
	Water
	Pigments and dyes From pigments and dyes comprising the composition for an artificial stone, this depends on the final color of the surfacing material. During the manufacturing process all the usual solution is transformed into a unique material, almost no different from the usual "wild" natural stone. Normally, advocate as dyes and inorganic pigments special colorants that are different immunity to light, temperature effects and weatherability.

Artificial stone is made in silicone and polyurethane forms, service life is 1-1.5 years.

Production of artificial stone for cladding facades done by vibratory casting method, and includes several stages:

1) Production of shape

The form is obtained by removing the casts of natural stone samples, thus achieving a perfect imitation of the surface.

2) Mixing of the components

Cement, sand, special additives, water, pigments and manufacturing concrete.

3) Fill the mixture into molds and compacting by vibration casting mixture.

The mixture is poured into molds and subjected to vibration compaction. During this compaction vibration forced out of a mixture of air bubbles, the front surface is obtained without pores and cavities, in the form of concrete mixture is redistributed and takes all its volume. So as a result the surface layer of the artificial stone is a more solid and durable than the inner.

• the introduction of color schemes directly into the mixture during its manufacture;
• painting the interior surface of the mold powder and aerosol.

4) Set strength concrete in the form (during the day).

5) Removing the product from the mold.

6) Secondary drying ware in the drying chamber (during the day).

7) Packaging of finished products.
