Analysis & Application Notes

  • Durability: The high Ratio of Fullness and low Porosity make this marble exceptionally resistant to environmental wear. Its low water absorption rate ensures it performs well in humid environments.
  • Structural Integrity: With a Compressive Strength exceeding 95 MPa, it is suitable for high-traffic commercial flooring and heavy-duty structural cladding.
  • Frost Resistance: The minimal drop in strength after freezing cycles indicates that Mylasa Silver can be utilized in exterior applications in temperate climates, provided proper sealing and installation techniques are followed.
  • Maintenance: Due to its dolomitic nature, it offers slightly better acid resistance than standard calcitic marbles, though it still requires pH-neutral cleaners to maintain its honed or polished finish.
