CSIR-Institute of Minerals and Materials Technology [CSIR-IMMT]: This invention presents a composition for hard protective coatings made from waste marble dust, offering an eco-friendly solution to the hazardous waste problem generated during marble processing. The composition is made flowable by mixing marble dust with ingredients like PVA and water, and it is applied to various substrates using a High-Velocity Oxy-Fuel (HVOF) spraying technique. The resulting coating provides strong protection, making it useful in construction and infrastructure applications. This technology not only repurposes industrial waste but also provides a durable protective solution for hard surfaces.
