CERAMIC WORKTOPS PERFORMANCES

MONOLITE IPERGRES® Technical Ceramic manufacturing process method and procedures are in accordance with ISO standards for general management ISO 9001 – 2008.

The single-firing glazes provide the ceramic worktops surfaces with resistance to acids, bases, and organic solvents, making them waterproof and pore-free. They are thus highly resilient to chemical agents, ideal for environments requiring maximum chemical resistance.

Exclusive single-firing glazes are resistant to abrasions, scratches, or grooves caused by contact with sharp objects and machinery vibrations, ensuring no superficial aesthetic damage and maintaining optimal functional performance of the ceramic worktops.

The product is highly resistant to severe thermal shocks caused by significant temperature variations over short distances. The ceramic worktops’ surface can withstand exposure to open flames, bunsen burners and direct contact with heat sources such as furnaces and dryers, without any major issues. Additionally, it is non-flammable (Euro-class A1), allowing hot objects to be placed directly on the surface without causing damage.

The single-firing glazes ensure that the worktops surfaces are easily cleanable using detergents with low environmental impact, while still providing effective and long-lasting microbiological disinfection.

This performance is particularly crucial in chemical, pharmaceutical, microbiological, and medical-hospital laboratories, where perfectly hygienic surfaces are essential.

The ceramic worktops resist thermal stresses from cooling elements operating at very low temperatures.

It also possesses the ability to absorb significant differences in thermal expansion across the piece, which arises from rapid temperature changes occurring within limited spaces.
