\u2013 Cristalplant\u00ae<\/span><\/h5>\n

Cristalplant\u00ae is known for its beauty similar to natural stone with a soft touch effect. It is a material consisting mostly of mineral fillers of high purity aluminium trihydrates, bound by resins of vegetable origin (corn) Resistant and printable even with important variations in thickness and undercuts, it can be easily processed on site using standard tools. Cristalplant\u00ae was created in our laboratories and, thanks to the new 2020 formulation, has acquired virucidal (tested with Sars-Cov-2), antifungal and self-cleaning properties. For over twenty years it has been used in the production of shower trays, bathtubs and washbasins by the most important international designers for high-end bathroom fittings.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”64px”]\n cristalplant.it<\/span>\n <\/a>[vc_empty_space height=”64px”][vc_separator][vc_empty_space height=”64px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

\u2013 Solid\u00ae<\/span><\/strong><\/h5>\n

Solid\u00ae is a state-of-the-art technical material, consisting mainly of aluminium trihydrate mineral fillers, bonded by high purity acrylic and polyester resins. Solid\u00ae is easy to work with wood tools and, created in our laboratories, thanks to the 2020 formulation it has become a bactericidal, antifungal and self-cleaning material. For years it has been appreciated for its excellent quality\/price ratio for the production of standard shower trays, bathtubs and washbasins.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”64px”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/5″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”2\/5″][vc_empty_space height=”100px”][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeIn”]<\/p>\n

Cast Marble<\/h4>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”17px”][vc_column_text]Our cast marble materials are available in multiple finishes, both matt and glossy. They are much more performing materials than ceramic – which they are replacing on the market – because they have superior technical characteristics: they guarantee greater resistance even with lower thicknesses, in addition to having the possibility of obtaining dimensions unthinkable for other materials such as ceramic, glass and acrylic.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”17px”][vc_column_text el_class=”colonnadx-materiali-testo”]The high-quality finishes in the glossy version are comparable to glass, while maintaining exceptional technical performance. The production flexibility also allows for chromatic variability and unparalleled repetitiveness, with minimum tolerances.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”64px”]

\u2013 Ceramilux\u00ae<\/span><\/h5>\n

Ceramilux\u00ae is a material made up mostly of mineral fillers (stone powder from the Friulian Dolomites) and polyester resins which can also be mixed with recycled PET resins. The technical enamel film that covers the surface can be both matt and glossy and is a polyester acrylate that allows to obtain very high scratch resistance. Thanks to the new formulation, developed in 2020, it has the characteristic of being bacteriostatic. The aesthetics, in addition to the mechanical and chemical properties, make Ceramilux\u00ae ideal for bathroom fittings, ensuring a wide versatility in the development of washbasins, bathtubs and shower trays.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”116px”]\n ceramilux.it<\/span>\n <\/a>[vc_empty_space height=”64px”][vc_separator][vc_empty_space height=”64px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

\u2013 Mineralmarmo\u00ae<\/span><\/strong><\/h5>\n

Mineralmarmo\u00ae is a mineral compound which, in an opaque finish, is similar to natural stone, while high-gloss it has a brilliance of 80 gloss and a mirror polish. Furthermore, for shower trays, thanks to an application in the pre-molding phase, it can be colored. Mineralmarmo\u00ae is coated with a technical enamel film called Gelcoat, which makes it extremely resistant and the internal part produced with calcium carbonate powder from the Italian Dolomites, bonded together with polyester resin which can be mixed with PET-based resins recycled. It is also widely used for the production of washbasins and shower trays for public spaces, resisting daily steam sanitization, so as to guarantee the regulatory standards of the most demanding countries, such as Germany. Thanks to the new generation technical enamel film \u2013 both glossy and opaque \u2013 the scratch resistance is unparalleled; also the possibility of having a technical enamel with virucidal properties (tested with Sars-Cov-2).[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”64px”]\n mineralmarmo.it<\/span>\n <\/a>[vc_empty_space height=”64px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_content_width=”grid” el_class=”centeralign”][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”60px”]\n MORE INFORMATION<\/span>\n <\/a>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_content_width=”grid”][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_empty_space height=”128px”][vc_column_text css_animation=”none”]<\/p>\n

Biobased\u00ae formula and recycled PET formula<\/span><\/h5>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”17px”][vc_column_text]We are the only company in the world to produce Biobased\u00ae solid surface: the origin of the resins is derived from corn.
\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”17px”][vc_column_text]Furthermore, the weight reduction of the Biobased bathtubs – 30% less than the competitors – also allows a lower consumption of CO2 generated by transport.
\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”17px”][vc_column_text]For Mineralmarmo, the resins that were previously of fossil origin have been replaced with eco-sustainable recycled PET resins.
\nThese values have allowed our materials to obtain the Gold Certificate Green Guard by LEED\u00ae (the US classification system for energy efficiency and ecological footprint): we are the only ones to propose these 2 innovations.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_content_width=”grid” simple_background_color=”#eaf9dc”][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”64px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row gap=”25″ row_content_width=”grid” simple_background_color=”#eaf9dc”][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text css_animation=”none”]<\/p>\n

100% recyclable materials <\/span><\/h5>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”17px”][vc_column_text]Already today, 8% of the mineralmarmo used to produce Nicos washbasins and shower trays is made up of its own processing waste, (sprues and casting waste) which are reintroduced into the production cycle.<\/p>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”17px”][vc_column_text]At the end of their life cycle, our materials are reused as a construction fund, but in the future, as soon as European legislation and logistics allow it, they can return to be 100% recycled to be reborn in new products according to the C2C logic. (Cradle to Cradle).
\nThe ratio between waste produced and raw materials introduced into our production departments is equal to 12% and today 30% of this waste is already recycled. The goal is to recycle 60% of it by 2022.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”13094″ img_size=”full”][vc_empty_space height=”50px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_content_width=”grid” simple_background_color=”#eaf9dc”][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”64px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row gap=”25″ row_content_width=”grid” simple_background_color=”#eaf9dc”][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”13096″ img_size=”full”][vc_empty_space height=”50px”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text css_animation=”none”]<\/p>\n
