Composites / Solid surface / Engineered stone

Composites and solid-surface materials are tabletops or boards of various dimensions made of polymerized monomers and resins. The resins used are generally polyester or acrylic. The mineral fillers used are primarily quartz (and modifications of quartz)  and aluminium hydroxide.
The physical and chemical characteristics of quartz make a considerable contribution to the surface characteristics of composites. They make these products dense, non-porous, homogenous, renewable and capable of being bonded seamlessly, which gives designers  free range. And there’s no need for stabilizing fillers.
