Abstract: A process for reinforcing blocks of stone material, in particular extracted from a quarry, comprises the following operative steps: preparing a block of stone material to be treated on a mobile carriage; spreading on said block a layer or film of suitable resin by means of spraying; stretching over the entire surface of the said resin block a reinforcing fabric or fibre layer; and removing the so reinforced block from said carriage after a preset time.

Abstract: A tool (U) for polishing and/or lapping stone material surfaces, comprising a member (1) made of abrasive material, a support member (2) for handling said tool (U), a cushioning layer (3) arranged between said abrasive member (1) and said support member (2); also provided are attachment and fixing means (F) to firmly and removably secure said abrasive member (1), support member (2) and cushioning layer (3) to each other.

Abstract: Process for the realization of manufactured articles in stone material, characterized by comprising the following steps of: providing a block or flat sheet of said stone material, and gluing a support in a flexible material on a surface of said sheet, carrying out the cutting or sectioning of said sheet to obtain a laminated panel with a determined minimum thickness, carrying out the winding of the mentioned laminated panel on a roll or similar curved surface to obtain the crushing of said panel into irregular chunks or parts; carrying out the impregnation or spreading on said crushed panel with polymeric materials or thermosetting resins; recomposing the planarity of said impregnated panel thus obtained.

Abstract: A method of producing a brush for carrying out surface roughing, polishing, lapping, and smoothing operations comprises a first molding operation of one or more mixes including one or more moldable synthetic materials so as to obtain a base portion (6; 160) and a plurality of bristle members (3; 130, 130a, 130b) projecting from a surface (6a; 160a) of the base portion (6; 160) and including at least one abrasive material. The invention also relates to a brush tool of synthetic material including one or more abrasive grain material in the bristle members (3; 130, 130a, 130b) thereof.

Abstract: A block tool for surface finishing operations, which has a support and coupling member (2) for connection to a machine tool, and an abrasive block (3) held by the support member (2), the abrasive block being obtained from a solution or emulsion of a granular abrasive material dispersed in a matrix comprising a thermoplastic resin.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a finishing and/or polishing block-like tool of abrasive material, which includes at least one front working portion (2, 2a) and at least one rear portion designed to be anchored to a working head of a honing machine or a handle rear portion (3, 3a), the at least one front working portion (2, 2a) comprising: at least one first brushing working portion (4, 4a) including a plurality of bristle elements (5, 5a) each extending from the rear portion (3, 3a) through a length many times greater than the thickness thereof; and at least one second working portion (6, 6a) including depressions (7, 7a) separated by at least one raising zone (8, 8a) having size many times greater than the thickness of one bristle element.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of consolidation of blocks or slabs made of a building material, which comprises the steps of: providing offcuts of blocks or slabs of a building material; adding and mixing the offcuts with a resin-based composition to obtain a mixture thereof; and applying the mixture thus obtained to one or more faces of a slab or block made of the same building material.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a matter composition, and a method for obtaining the same, comprising at least one fluid hardenable resin component and at least one toning component suitable for changing its colour or colour shade depending upon the kind of energy applied to the composition. The matter composition can be advantageously used as a building material or for covering building materials.
