The knowledge of the ornamental stone market, in the daily contact between commercial agents and customers, shows the need to develop new surface finishes capable of satisfying all requirements.
Thus, it is essential to investigate this topic to expand the offer of available products
This activity aims to obtain new finishes on the surface of the stone, through modification of the current finishing processes, with the introduction of modifications in the abrasives/equipment used.
With this activity, and taking advantage of the equipment already installed, it is intended to develop new abrasives with the incorporation of available and accessible materials, enhancing the use of waste of various types, in a perspective of circular economy.
The results already obtained show the potential of various abrasive mixtures, which are competent in the definition of new surface finishes.
The new research phase focuses on the influence of physical parameters in the process, for different types of rocks.
