Crystallization is a series of activities involving the use of chemicals called crystallizers which changes the structure of the surface layer of marble stone or granite. During crystallization, the crystal structure of calcium carbonate opens and destroys, cause of the influence of specific acid in crystallizer As a result of a chemical reaction that occurs between an acid and calcium carbonate, creating new chemical compounds. These new compounds are Calcium hexafluorosilicate Ca (SiF6), characterized by high hardness, which increase abrasion resistance of marble and scratches. The stone becomes harder, and its surface smooth. there are many different types of crystallizes. Crystallizers can be divided into two groups:
- Liquid crystallizers
- Powder crystallizers
