Natural stone coating is a kind of coating whose decorative effect resembles marble or granite. It is mainly made of natural colored granite sand or calcined sand of various colors, applied in building exterior wall to imitate the natural stone effect. Because exterior wall coatings are directly exposed to nature and withstand the attack of wind, rain, and sun, It must have the features like water resistance, color retention, pollution resistance, aging resistance, and good adhesion, as well as good freeze-thaw resistance and low film-forming temperature.
