DESIGN MEETS DURABILITY
MARMITE IS A LEADER AMONG MANUFACTURERS OF BATHROOM EQUIPMENT
3
Marmite is a leading European manufacturer of bathroom
equipment that brings together natural mineral materials
and sophisticated technology. Marmite owes its reputation
and strong position on the market to the high quality of its
products, which are available worldwide in the product ranges
of acknowledged manufacturers of bathroom furniture and
specialised chain stores.
The secret of the company success lies in its modern approach
to the process of product creation in which – starting from
the design stage – the customer’s expectations and suggestions
are the most valued. Thus, customers become co-creators, since the
entire manufacturing process stems from their experience and needs.
Marmite sets great store by the continuous development
of its products. That is why the company actively pursues innovation
in materials, technology and design, frequently establishing
new trends in the industry.
BASIN IN THE BATHROOM IS AN UNIQUE PIECE OF EQUIPMENT
5
Everyday the basin undergoes a number of durability tests.
All members of the household use it – adults and children –
and not always for the purpose it was intended.
Such intensive usage entails a risk of depleting the original
quality of the product. Attempts at bringing the basin back
to its original impeccable state might lead to resistant stains,
scratches or defects of the surface.
To meet these demands, Marmite developed innovative
material that uniquely combines design flexibility with
durability. This is Evermite.
EVERMITE MAKES THE BASIN LOOK BRAND
NEW FOR LONGER AND GIVES THE CUSTOMER
FREEDOM IN EVERYDAY INTENSIVE USE. BASIN IN THE BATHROOM IS AN UNIQUE PIECE OF EQUIPMENT
INNOVATIVE MATERIAL THAT COMBINES DESIGN FLEXIBILITY WITH DURABILITY

INNOVATIVE MATERIAL THAT COMBINES DESIGN FLEXIBILITY WITH DURABILITY
Evermite was created using a modified polymer basis, which
makes basins more durable and resistant than composite
basins covered with standard gelcoats. A unique formula
of components builds a protective barrier, thus minimising
the risk of use-related defects.
Evermite’s exceptional functional qualities have been
confirmed through a series of tests carried out by independent
research laboratories and certification centres:
ITB POLAND, VTT Finland, IAPMO USA.
RESISTANCE TO ABRASION
RISK: LITTLE SCRATCHES FROM CLEANINGOR PLACING CUPS AND ACCESSORIES
9
EVERMITE IS 40% MORE RESISTANT TO ABRASION
After years of use, the surfaces of many basins have tiny
scratches caused by cleaning or being rubbed by cups,
soap dishes or beauty products. According to tests,
Evermite is 40% more resistant to abrasion than other
similar materials. This is possible thanks to the modified
polymer basis used in Evermite.
Evermite lets you enjoy a flawless surface for longer.
RESISTANCE TO SCRATCHES
RISK: ACCIDENTAL SCRATCHES
11
EVERMITE IS 20% MORERESISTANT TO SCRATCHING
Evermite contains special microparticles that build up
a surface protecting the basin against accidental scratches.
The tougher material offers better resistance to defects.
Thanks to this, Evermite is 20% more resistant to scratching.
In short, Evermite marries modern design with durability.
RESISTANCE TO GLOSS FADING
RISK: LOSING THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE
13
EVERMITE IS 50% MORERESISTANT TO LUSTRE FADINGDUE TO CLEANING
Thanks to Evermite, a basin retains the original qualities
of its surface for many years. Laboratory tests have
demonstrated that Evermite is 50% more resistant to lustre
fading due to cleaning. Evermite’s structure is designed to
protect against micro-defects so the basin remains as glossy
as on the day of purchase for much longer.
RISK: LOSING THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE
RISK: TEA, COFFEE, LIPSTICK
RESISTANCE TO DISCOLOURATION
FROM COFFEE AND TEA
15
COFFEE, TEA, AND OTHER PRODUCTSUSED AT HOME CANNOT STAINTHE SURFACE PERMANENTLY
Evermite is characterised by a very low permeability
coefficient. As a result, the surface of the basin is perfectly
smooth, which prevents stains from becoming ingrained and
makes maintenance easier.
The material is resistant not only to marks from tea or coffee,
but also to stains from various, hard-to-clean products used
in the household, for example: lipstick, shoe polish, crayons,
ink, vegetable and fruit juice, medicines like gentian violet
or iodine. Discolouration does not leave any trace.
If the stain is recent, a sponge and some water suffice
to remove it. If the stain has stayed on the basin for a longer
time, a sponge and some regular cleaning cream will clean
it. Proof – Evermite has been successful in strict European and
American tests (CE, ANSI and CSA) and it has passed internal
corporate stain resistance tests.
RESISTANCE TO DISCOLOURATION FROM TOBACCO
RISK: TOBACCO OR STRONG CHEMICALS
17
THE INFLUENCE OF DIFFICULT TO CLEANSUBSTANCES DOES NOT RESULTIN PERMANENT DISCOLOURATION
Evermite is highly resistant to tobacco stains and discolouration
from strong chemicals, including: petrol, ethanol, amyl
acetate, ammonium hydroxide, citric acid, urea, hydrogen
peroxide, sodium hypochlorite, toluene, ethyl acetate, lye,
and acetone. Evermite has successfully passed the CE, ANSI
and CSI certification tests proving its resistance to these
substances. Contact with these substances does not affect the
product’s quality.
Removing stains resulting from a lit cigarette left on an
Evermite basin is very easy – just apply some regular cleaning
cream. Such resistance to stains makes Evermite basins also
suitable for public facilities. Stains from strong chemicals can
be removed with cream cleanser. If the gloss is dimmed or if
the stain is difficult to remove, polishing the wet surface first
with P1200 waterproof sandpaper and then with some cream
cleanser will solve the problem.

EASY MAINTENANCETHANKS TO EVERMITE
The unique composition of Evermite facilitates removal
of stains resulting from everyday use. The key to success?
A perfectly smooth surface and low permeability which prevent
lime and water or soap residues from settling on Evermite basins.
The smooth surface also keeps bacteria at bay, making the
bathroom a safe and friendly place. Another benefit is reduced
water use and cost of cleaning products.

Marmite’s Swedish origin is a hallmark of high quality, refined
design and respect for nature. Evermite basins outdistance
competitors’ products in their resistance to scratches, abrasion,
lustre fading, discolouration and difficult stains.
Evermite offers a unique combination of design flexibility and
durability that makes it a better alternative to porcelain across
a broad range of applications.
