Epoxy for Non-White Marble

Epoxy for non-white marble — Arapox E-500F

Arapox E-500F, manufactured by Rangin Zereh, is a transparent two-component resin described for general stone treatment and crack penetration. The datasheet describes reactivity at low temperatures. Selection for non-white marble depends on the stone colour, absorption and required finishing result.

The reported mixing ratio is by weight, not by volume. A drying time does not establish readiness for cutting, polishing or full service. Obtain processing instructions for the actual product package and line conditions.

Preparation and sample assessment

Use completely dry and clean stone. Weigh the two components accurately and mix in a clean container with clean tools. Prepare an amount suitable for the product working time and actual temperature. Test penetration, adhesion, bubbles, halos and the finished appearance on a sample of the same stone before production.

Use protective gloves and safety glasses. Close containers after use and store in a dry, cool place away from sunlight. Request the safety data sheet for the actual product.

Frequently asked questions

Can this ratio be used by volume?

No. The supplied datasheet reports a weight ratio. Do not use it as a volume ratio or transfer a ratio from a different resin.

When can the stone be cut or polished?

The submitted datasheet does not specify a cutting or polishing interval. Confirm the required processing stage, temperature and manufacturer instructions separately.

What should I provide for a product enquiry?

Send the stone type and colour, crack or cavity photographs, processing stage, line temperature, required quantity and package codes.
