CTAP is a chemical company that specializes in developing treatments for natural stone. They have developed a new custom production and formulation service for specific chemical solutions applied to stone. The treatments can reinforce, filter, and seal stone as well as improve stain resistance, hardness, water repellency, wear protection, and consolidation.

›» Specific Resins: reinforcement, filtration, sealant ...
›»Treatment and Protectors: stain treatment, increased surface hardness,
water repellents, protective wear, consolidating ...

5. Consolidating treatments
This material has been treated with different consolidants, which have strengthened its
structure and improved its performance under various accelerated aging tests.
TREATMENT Nº 1 TREATMENT Nº 2 WITHOUT TREATMENT

6. EXCLUSIVE
MARBLE TEXTURED
›» Aesthetic improvements: increased brightness, homogenization of shades;
- Homogenization and increased brightness
- Standardization and improvement of color or tone
- Elimination of white areas
- Effective protection of the material; against staining and surface wear ...

7. Homogenization and increased brightness
WITH TREATMENT
WITHOUT TREATMENT
Brightness value increase by an average of 40 points (from 50-60
gloss shine to 90-100).
Homogenization of gloss (eliminating "waters" effect and reduced
white areas).

8. Standardization and improvement of color or tone
WITHOUT TREATMENT WITH TREATMENT
Limestone with polished surface (heterogeneous Homogeneous surface and extra protection.
due to the calyx).
WITHOUT TREATMENT WITH TREATMENT
It has improved the brightness of the material, and reduced white areas.

9. Elimination of white areas
WITHOUT TREATMENT WITH TREATMENT
68.6% reduction of
white area.

10. Effective protection of the material; against staining and surface wear
WITHOUT TREATMENT
Limestone with open porosity
WITH TREATMENT
Limestone with closed porosity

11. Effective protection of the material; against staining and surface wear
Treatment necessary for the large difference in hardness and surface compaction, due to the existence
of different kinds of materials (limestone and siliceous fossil) Protection against staining
(stain treatment and anti-graffiti).
Limestone with closed porosity and tone change.
