EPD: Quartz based composite material for worktops, 30 mm, 75 kg/m2 (Stone Italiana)

The analysed product is made of a composite material whose main ingredient is quartz. The manufacturing process consists in the mixing of inert materials (quartz) of different grain sizes, together with organic dyes and a polyester resin (constituting approximately 8-11% of the total). This resin not only binds the materials together, but also gives the finished product an added edge when it comes to resistance to bending, impacts and water absorption, and, in more general terms, gives the recomposed quartz physical properties and performance levels beyond those displayed by the original materials.
