| 3,000 m² Dry-Lay Blending (三千平工厂预排版) | Pre-shipment factory floor layout where crates are blended across quarry benches and photographed for architect approval. | All Project Orders | ASTM / EN / GOST Standard |
| Efflorescence (返碱/白华) | Crystalline salt deposit carried to the stone surface by capillary moisture from unsealed cement beds; prevented via C2S1 white adhesive and impregnating sealers. | Installation QC | ASTM / EN / GOST Standard |
Using the exact tariff description (e.g., HS 6802.21 / 6802.91 for worked monumental/building limestone vs. HS 6801.00 for flagstones and setts) prevents customs classification delays and ensures correct application of preferential FTA duty rates such as ChAFTA (0% in Australia) or Form E (ASEAN).
A penetrating (impregnating) silane/siloxane or fluoropolymer sealer chemically bonds inside the stone's capillary pores without blocking vapor breathability. A topical sealer forms a plastic surface film that traps ground moisture, whitens, and peels outdoors.
