PIONEERING INNOVATION
The term "sintered" refers to materials obtained from the mixing and subsequent compressing (to form sheets) of raw materials such as silicon, quartz, aluminium and so on, with a high degree of purity, subjected to production cycles at high temperatures and pressure levels. The aim of these processes is to obtain chemical bonds between the raw material particles (the "sintering" process), forming low-porosity sheets with excellent properties in terms of colour, dimensional stability, resistance to mechanical strain, abrasion, marks, heat, scratches and chemical/atmospheric agents.
