Physical and Mechanical Properties
- Water Absorption: Approximately 0.10% - 0.20%, indicating low porosity and high resistance to moisture ingress.
- Density: Around 2.66 - 2.72 g/cm³, suggesting a durable and weighty material.
- Flexural Strength: Typically ranges from 10.0 to 14.0 MPa, reflecting its good resistance to bending forces.
- Compressive Strength: Between 180 and 200 MPa, which demonstrates its excellent ability to withstand compressive loads.
- Hardness: Mohs scale rating of 6-7, showcasing its excellent scratch resistance.
- Porosity: Low porosity, contributing to its strength and stain resistance.
- Slip Resistance: Adequate for most applications, depending on the surface finish, making it suitable for both interior and exterior use.
Chemical and Mineral Composition (approximate % by weight)
- Quartz: 30-40%
- Feldspar (Potassium and Plagioclase): 50-60%
- Biotite and Muscovite: 5-10%
- Other Minerals (Rutile, Magnetite, etc.): <5%
Usage and Applications
- Countertops: Ideal due to its durability and aesthetic appeal.
- Flooring: Suitable for both residential and commercial spaces owing to its wear resistance.
- Wall Cladding: Offers a clean and elegant finish.
- Interior and Exterior Applications: Excellent for facades, paving stones, and more due to weather resistance.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Use mild soap and water regularly; avoid abrasive cleaners to maintain the surface texture.
- Sealing: Recommended annually to enhance stain resistance and maintain appearance.
- Care: Use cutting boards and trivets to protect against scratches and thermal shock.
Cutting Sizes (cm)
- Standard slab sizes: 180 x 60 cm, 240 x 70 cm
- Tile sizes: 30 x 30 cm, 60 x 60 cm, 60 x 40 cm
- Custom sizes available upon request to suit specific project needs.
Common Surface Finish Options
- Polished: High-gloss finish that highlights the stone’s color and patterns.
- Honed: Matte finish that offers a smooth, flat surface.
