Productivity Investigation of Chemical Filling-Reinforced Methods Applied to Different Marbles from Eastern and Southeastern Anatolia Region of Turkey

Abstract

In this study, particularly the plates and strips of crackle, porous and spongy Elazig-Visne, Sand Wave and Brown Espera produced in Eastern and Southeastern Anatolia region of Turkey were filled-reinforced by applying epoxy resin, ultraviolet resin and fiber mesh. Then, considering the breaking rate on polishing line, filling-reinforcing cost and sales prices of the said marbles, a cost analysis is performed and the economic income is calculated. Filling reinforcing studies showed that breaks which occurred during polish was largely prevented and a significant amount of economic income was gained.
