Chandna White Granite

Chandna White Granite is a high-quality natural stone that is primarily quarried in the regions of Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka in India. It is sought after for its predominantly pure white to soft ivory color, combined with a uniform, fine-grained crystalline structure. This granite typically features delicate gray, beige, or silver veining and may contain small mineral flecks such as mica and quartz, adding to its aesthetic appeal.

Physical and Mechanical Properties:

• Water Absorption: Approximately 0.18% to 0.3%. Indicates low porosity, making it less susceptible to water damage.

• Density: Approximately 2,680 to 2,750 kg/m³. Denotes the stone's compact and sturdy nature.

• Flexural Strength: Approximately 12-15 MPa. Demonstrates its ability to resist bending forces.

• Compressive Strength: Approximately 130-160 MPa. Ensures the granite can withstand heavy loads.

• Hardness: Rated around 6 to 7 on Mohs scale. Reflects its resistance to scratches and abrasion.

• Porosity: Low porosity. Enhances the stone's durability and resistance to staining.

• Slip Resistance: Varies with finish; typically moderate when polished. More slip-resistant in honed or flamed finishes.

Chemical and Mineral Compositions (% by weight):

• Quartz: Approximately 20-30%. Contributes to its hardness and durability.

• Feldspar: Approximately 50-60%. Provides structural integrity and color variations.

• Mica: Approximately 5-10%. Offers a subtle shimmer and aesthetic appeal.

• Other Minerals: Includes trace amounts of other minerals such as biotite and muscovite.
