The new facility opened in the Spring of this year. It processes marble and granite slabs, treating them with resin and polishing them as needed. Most of the material is treated with BB/10 from Tenax S.p.A. of Italy, a very low-viscosity system for resining and reinforcing marble and granite with very thin cracks and fissures, offering superior penetration. The products are kept in an outdoor storage area, where the temperature is regulated so it is not too hot in the summer or cold in the winter. The storage area is equipped with hoses that deliver the products to the factory as needed, and the system is equipped with an emergency shut-down mechanism that will stop the process if any of the products run dry.
For very fragile stones, Brunco Lucchetti may use resin on the back and front of the stone, and it can also adhere fiberglass netting to the back of the stone for added strength.
