Key Characteristics

  • Structural Integrity: With a high Ratio of Fullness (99.7%), Ushak White is a remarkably dense and compact material, making it resistant to structural fatigue.
  • Low Permeability: The exceptionally low Water Absorption and Porosity rates ensure that the stone is highly resistant to staining and moisture-related damage, which is critical for maintaining its bright white appearance over time.
  • Mechanical Strength: The Compressive Strength of 1050 kg/cm2 confirms its suitability for heavy-traffic flooring and structural applications.
  • Frost Resistance: The minimal loss in compressive strength after freezing cycles (980 kg/cm2) indicates excellent performance in exterior applications and colder climates.

Applications

  • Interior: Premium flooring, staircase steps, bathroom vanities, and wall coverings.
  • Exterior: Façade cladding (especially in thin composite formats), poolside areas, and ornamental garden elements.
  • Specialty: Precision-carved sinks and ultra-thin panels for luxury transport interiors.
