IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT THIS MATERIAL

This stone has areas of higher absorption that can become darker after installation. This is inherent in the material. As a basalt,it is a porous material with naturally-occuring holes that may remain unfilled or be factory-filled with resin or cement. Do not useresin-filled materials outside, as the resin will discolor over time. See the Applications Guide PDF for alternatives

TECHNICAL PERFORMANCE SPECS

RatingABRASION RESISTANCE

(The ability of a material to resist surface wear.)

Medium

This material has medium abrasion resistance. It rates as a 3.5-6.5 on the Mohs scale. It is moreresistant to scratching than materials with a low abrasion resistance rating (i.e. certain marbles andlimestones, onyx, schist and slate). It is not as resistant to scratching as materials with a highabrasion resistance rating (i.e. granite, quartzite and porcelain tile).

RatingABSORPTION

(The relative porosity of a material.)

High

This material has a medium to high absorption rate. Always seal this material prior to use. Properlyseal the material prior to grouting by applying several coats of sealant or until water beads up on thesurface. Use Fila PRW200 to avoid staining from grout residues and specify a grout color that issimilar to the color of the stone to avoid color bleeding into the material. Use low moisture settingmaterials. To reduce the appearance of stains, always wipe up spills immediately. Oil and highly-pigmented liquids can penetrate and stain the stone and may need poultice to remove the stain.

RatingACID SENSITIVITY

(The likelihood of a material reacting to acidic foods or liquids.)

MinimalThis material is minimally sensitive to acids. It will not acid etch or lose its surface sheen whenexposed to acidic liquids such as lemons or tomatoes.

RatingFREEZE-THAW

(The ability of a material to withstand freeze-thaw cycles in exterior applications.)

Not RecommendedDue to known material weakness or because this material has not been tested, this material is notapproved for use in exterior applications.
