SALT ATTACK

SYNERGY is a world class combination consolidator and penetrating sealer specially formulated for superior stain and salt protection around swimming pools. SYNERGY is suitable for internal, external, domestic and commercial surfaces and will prevent permanent staining from most common spills. To minimize the effects of salt attack ENVIRONEX recommends installing a 40mm overflow pipe located approximately 150mm beneath the pool coping. This will remove the chance of the coping being regularly submersed in the corrosive pool water environment. • Do not seal under 10°C or over 30°C. • Always wear Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) – A minimum requirement of Safety Glasses, Gloves, Mask & Boots. • Apply a minimum of 2 coats of SYNERGY to a clean dry surface with an ENVIRONEX LAMBSWOOL APPLICATOR or ENVIRONEX VITON SEAL SPRAYER. SYNERGY may take 2 to 3 days to dry. ENVIRONEX recommend dip sealing your coping pavers/tiles with SYNERGY. Porous masonry will require more coats (3-5) of SYNERGY to provide adequate protection. Allow minimum 7 days curing. • Only use REFRESH pH neutral detergent for daily or weekly maintenance. • Not suitable for Bluestone. • ENVIRONEX recommend resealing the pool surrounds every 2-3 years to assist in prevention of Salt Attack. • Always test first.

“The needs that have become standard are having machines integrated one with the other, having machines communicate with the management system, reporting on the flow. Other advantages that come with integration include diagnostics to correct interruptions and being able to spot and correct problems quickly. The priority mission these days is improving efficiency and having control over the production process.” Intermac produce an extensive range of equipment for processing materials. Machines include the Primus waterjet cutting machines for laminated and monolithic glass, marble, granite and engineered stone; the Master series for stone and glass processing; and the Vertmax for vertical processing of glass. It is supported by the Donatoni range of bridge saws and a complete range of processing tools from Diamut. With so much at stake, it is important that the customer trusts that the machine will do exactly what was promised. Director Gianluigi Casadio said, “I can tell you how we try to maintain trust: by being consistent and knowing how to listen.

By launching the next generation of Master machining centres, Intermac aims to reaffirm and consolidate its leadership in the machining of glass, stone and metal for years to come. It’s a leadership entrenched in the company’s ongoing drive for innovation and solutions that can meet the needs that come with the new manufacturing philosophy that is Industry 4.0. ■
