Acid Abrasive
An acid stone testing swab is used in the stone industry for a process called stone etching. These swabs are made of special chemical compounds that react with the minerals present in the stone. The purpose of using an acid stone testing swab for stone etching is to identify areas of the stone with different characteristics.
During the stone etching process, the acid stone testing swab is applied to the surface of the stone. If the stone comes into contact with the acidic region of the swab, a reaction occurs, causing the specific area to become bright and inclined towards a particular color. This coloration and color changes on the acid stone testing swab serve as a guide for assessing the quality of the stone and identifying any defects or weaknesses on the stone's surface.
The use of an acid stone testing swab in stone etching is an important step in evaluating stones, as it helps in selecting high-quality stones for use in construction, decoration, and other related industries.
