Roughly half of U.S wetlands are located along the Gulf Coast and serve as critical habitat for 75 percent of migratory waterfowl entering the country.
Etching is traditionally the process of using strong acid or mordant to cut into the unprotected parts of a metal surface to create a design in intaglio (relief) in the metal.In modern manufacturing, other chemicals may be used on other types of material.tching is traditionally the process of using strong acid or mordant to cut into the unprotected parts of a metal surface to create a design in intaglio (relief) in the metal.
No matter what you call it, it is all the same; damage to a natural stone from acidic liquid exposure, be it food grade or chemical. Calcium based stones such as Marble, Quartzite, Limestone, Travertine, and Onyx are the stones that are susceptible to etching. An etch mark is not a stain, it is an actual chemical reaction that takes place in the stone causing the surface to dull. Etching can be classified into three categories; Minor, Moderate, and Severe. A minor etch results only in a loss of shine. No roughness can be felt on an area with a minor etch mark.
