Key Characteristics & Application Notes

  • Durability: With a solidness ratio of 99.80% and extremely low porosity, Milas Lilac is highly resistant to deep staining and structural degradation compared to more porous white marbles.
  • Freeze-Thaw Resistance: The negligible difference between standard compressive strength (580 kg/cm 2) and strength after freezing (575 kg/cm 2) indicates excellent stability in fluctuating temperatures.
  • Recommended Uses: Due to its striking vein patterns, it is most frequently used for book-matched wall cladding, luxury flooring, bathroom vanities, and decorative furniture pieces.
  • Maintenance: While structurally dense, it is a calcite-based marble (Mohs 3). It should be sealed to protect against acidic etching and maintained with pH-neutral cleaners to preserve the polished finish.
