S-COMPLEX™

S-Complex™ is a concentrated, next-generation performance additive delivering MASSIVE GAINS IN CUTTING & GRINDING SPEED and increases diamond tool life.

 

Product Technical Benefits

• MASSIVE gains in cutting and grinding speed – from 50% to more than 1800% increase in cutting speed in real stone fabrication plants.
• INEXPENSIVE use only 0.4% (1:250) up to 0.8% (1:125) concentration in your water to achieve optimum results. The product lasts well in water recycling systems so re-dosing is also inexpensive.
• Significantly improves diamond tool life (expected increase 30-50% linear cutting / grinding)
• Cleaner cuts and reduced chipping and blowouts.
• Faster, cleaner cutting of problematic hard materials including quartzite stone, porcelain and sintered stone.
• Significantly lower saw noise levels, especially on hard sintered stone and porcelains.

 

Product Applications

Cutting/sawing/grinding of natural stone in fabrication plants

Honing/polishing of natural stone floors & countertops

 

S-Complex™ technology: How S-Complex™ optimizes cutting/grinding speed and diamond tool life:

• S-Complex™ exploits a physical property called the Rehbinder Effect, a mechano-chemical reaction which promotes nano-fracturing of the stone at the atomic point of contact with the tool.
• Maximizes effective torque at the tool-surface interface while reducing machine torque and tool vibration.
• Enables greater depth per cut with increased cutting speeds.
• With pressure and heat, the additive forms a protective coating around each exposed diamond which minimizes diamond wear and retains sharpness.
• Preferentially fills micro-fractures in diamonds as they occur during use, reducing hydraulic pressure inside the cracks and slowing disintegration of the diamonds.

 

How to Use: Stone / Quartz / Porcelain, Sintered Stone / Glass Fabrication plants:

• Add 0.4% to 0.8% S-Complex™ to your water re-circulation system. We have found 0.4% to work well when only natural stone is being sawn and processed. Up to 0.8% is recommended where a variety of harder man-made materials such as porcelain and sintered stone are being cut and processed as well as natural stone.
• S-Complex™ is recycled with your water. S-Complex™ will slowly degrade with multiple usages, is attracted to cuttings, and will be diluted as you add fresh water to replace water that evaporates from your system. Once the system is dosed, it is recommended to constantly dose at very low levels with a suitable peristaltic dosing pump to maintain the correct dosage.

 

Safety

There has been a worldwide move toward wet processing of stone due to the dangerous health effects of breathing in silica dust i.e. dust from breaking up the silica content in the stone. In many countries, dry processing of natural stone has been outlawed, except in controlled factory environments with specified extraction/ventilation equipment and strict HR protocols.

S-Complex™ is non-toxic, low odor, and readily biodegradable.
