Synthetic quartz stone is extremely scratch-resistant due to its high content of natural quartz in its composition (95%), and is therefore recommended as a long-lasting solution for a kitchen countertop, bar, bathroom sink countertop, or dining or living room tabletop. The polymer resins that bind quartz crystals together give this material a certain level of elasticity, which, combined with the hardness of quartz, contributes to its resistance to various impacts that may occur in everyday use. It is non-porous and therefore does not absorb various liquids that it may come into contact with in the kitchen, such as coffee, tea, vinegar, oil, milk, wine, carbonated drinks, etc. The material is also resistant to very high temperatures (up to 150°C). Important to know: There is no material that is completely resistant to scratches and absorption, so careful handling is recommended for quartz, as with all other materials. Although it is resistant to high temperatures, it is not advisable to place hot objects directly on its surface; instead, it is necessary to place something under the hot object and then place it on quartz.
