| Abstract Scope |
The study focuses on the ornamental rock processing industry, which generates a significant amount of solid waste. Its objective is to investigate the utilization of granite and marble waste in paint manufacturing and evaluate their performance. The experimental program involved characterizing the waste materials, including their physical, chemical, mineralogical, and morphological properties. Paints were produced by varying the quantity of waste and resin while keeping the water amount constant. These paints underwent tests to determine their hiding power and resistance to wet abrasion without abrasive paste. The findings demonstrated the promising potential of both granite and marble waste in paint production. Notably, the paints produced with granite waste met the technical specifications and showed performance comparable to commercial paints. Promising paint compositions were identified, comprising 41-47% granite waste, 35% water, and 18-24% resin. |
