Industrial Ceramics (Stoneware) Worktop is a type of ceramic material that is especially used in ceramic production and is known for its durability and waterproofness. The term 'Stoneware' generally refers to ceramics that are fired at very high temperatures (1200-1300 °C) during firing and generally have a durable and strong structure. The features of such ceramics are quite advantageous in terms of both aesthetics and functionality.

Basic Features of Stoneware:

1. Durability: Stoneware is quite solid and durable because it is fired at high temperatures. It is resistant to cracking and breaking.

2. Waterproofing: Since it has less porosity than other ceramics, it is impermeable to water and quite resistant to water.

3. Temperature Resistance: It is resistant to high temperatures and thanks to this feature, it is generally used in kitchenware and ovens.

4. Matte and Rough Surface: Stoneware usually has a matte or slightly rough surface. This gives it a natural, earth-colored appearance.

5. Aesthetic Appearance: Stoneware usually comes in natural color tones (brown, gray, reddish tones) and provides a sleek, modern aesthetic.

All the tests are performed according to “SEFA 3-2010 Recommended Practices For Laboratory Work Surfaces”, a special procedure indicated by SEFA (Scientific Equipment and Furniture Association). Samples are washed with detergent before testing. Test results are displayed as follow: 0  /  No Effect: no detectable changes of the surface. 1   /  Excellent: slight detectable changes in color or gloss, but no change in the functionality of the surface. 2  /  Good: clearly discernible changes in color or gloss, but no significant impairment of surface or its functionality. 3  /  Fair: changes objectively visible due to abrasion or discoloration can result in damage to the surface.
