ANTIBACTERIAL PROTECTION
Silestone® is the first and only quartz surfacing material in the World with patented Microban® antibacterialprotection. This helps fight growth of micro organisms and harmful bacteria which may be on the surfacesuch as E-coli, Salmonella, Listeria, Staphilococcus and the MRSA superbug
The Microban® anti bacterial technology is incorporated throughout the structure of all Silestone Quartzproducts during the manufacturing process providing continous antibacterial protection which cannotbe removed or eliminated during the lifetime of the product.
Silestone® with its ideal physical and aesthetic characteristics when combined with the Microban®
antibacterial protection, makes it a near necessity for Architects, Designers and their clients who requirea demanding standard of specification for areas where high levels of hygiene are required.
100% ANTIBACTERIAL
arquitectos 02.09.fh11 23.2.2009 17:56 P gina 9
Composici n
C M Y CM MY CY CMY K
WHAT IS THE TECHNOLOGY?
• The Microban is evenly distributed throughout the material, including the surface.
• Microban protects the entire surface area even in hard to reach corners.
• The Microban active ingredients will not wash or wear out and will last for the lifetimeof the product.
• If the Microban active ingredient is neutralised for any reason more active ingredientsdiffuse to the surface thereby replenishing the protection.
• When bacteria come into contact with the surface the Microban active ingregientsaffects the bacterial cells in many ways thereby making them unable to grow orreproduce.
Microban® protection does not replace the need for regular cleaning and does notprotect against food borne illnesses.
100% PEACE OF MIND

MAXIMUM PROTECTION
The highest level of commitment to enviromental protection and hygienecontrol.
Silestone® is certified internationally to guarantee and offer of fullcommitment to food safety and environmental protection.
- NSF certification accredits Silestone® as “a safe material for directcontact with food”. It is issued by NSF, an American organization thatcertifies heatlth and hygiene. It is guaranteed by widely-respectedorganization such as the FDA and th WHO (World Health Organitation)
- GREENGUARD certificate. This certificate ensures that Silestone® doesnot generate any substance considered to be harmful to the environment,it also guarantees air quality. In this way, Silestone® contributes to a highlevel of environmental protection.
100% ANTIBACTERIAL
CONTINUOUS PROTECTION
The graph below demonstrates the reduction of harmful and odour-causing bacteria:
Both surfaces were innoculated with bacteriam then bacteria counts were taken periodically over atwenty four hour period.
After one hour, the surface with Microban protection showed significant reduction in bacteria whist thesurface without protection grew by over ten-fold.
Over a twenty four hour period the bacteria on the surface with the Microban protection was reducedto near zero while the surface without the protection increased by one million times.

RESISTANT TO SCRATCHING
Given the 93% level of quartz used in production,Silestone® ranks 7th in the MOHS scale of hardness(diamond is ranked 10
th) thereby making it highlyresistant to scratching.
As no surface is indestructible it is recommendedthat chopping boards are used in kitchenenvironments.
NATURAL BEAUTY
Silestone’s natural beauty and depth of finish,combined with its exceptional physicalcharacteristics, make it an ideal material foruse in a wide variety of commercial anddomestic applications.
RESISTANCE TO STAINING
Silestone® is virtually non porous with a waterabsorption level averaging 0.15% making it highlyresistant to staining caused by coffee, wine, lemonjuice, olive oil, vinegar, make up and many othereveryday products (see table opposite).
No form of sealing is required for Silestone andcleaning is generally a simple process undertakenwith warm water and mild householder cleaner (egCif)
COLOUR AND DESIGN
Silestone® is available in over 50 through bodycolours with a shade and tone consistency thatis not found with natural stone. Available in apolished or leather finish, Silestone® has a colourportfilio to blend in with any style or design andis ideal for use in a wide variety of applicationsranging from worksurfaces to tiles, vanity units,bar/reception tops, steptreads, wall cladding etc.
SHOCK-RESISTANT
Silestone® has good shock resistance qualities whichare higher than that of other products used insimilar applications (granite, solid surfaces etc)
This resistance is achieved thanks to its quartz(giving it its hardness) and polyester resin (elasticity)and the vibrocompression system used during theproduction process.
No surface is indestructible so please take care notto place pans directly from heat onto a worktop.
