| Advantages using Solid-Ace |
|
- It is one-time forming product: same material for the surface and inner, so no quality problem like surface exfoliation and layer fracture.
- Integrated mechanics performance: the hardness, stiffness, toughness, and weight is between natural stone and wood. Its weight is only half of that of marble, so it has comparatively high intensity and anti-impact intensity, which brought big convenience for designing, transportation, fabrication and installation. Only with ordinary carpenter’s tools all types of fabrication work can be completed. It can be easily restored through bonding and polishing even after impacted by super strong force.
- Seamless joints
- Pollution resistant: Solid-Ace is a thermosetting resin, it is chemical resistant, its water absorption is 1/300 of that of marble. It has non-porous, has good resistance to daily contamination like ink, sauce, liquid medicine and chemicals.
- Uniform and beautiful colors, warm touch
- Durability: the integrated performance and anti-aging performance of Solid-Ace make it more durable.

- Fire resistant: 30-60% mineral fuel is filled in Solid-Ace material, this mineral filler will decompound and absorb the heat, in order to lower temperature of the basic resin, and also slow down igniting speed of of the basic resin. Thus, Solid-Ace has excellent fire resistant performance, besides, normal thermal and cold shock cannot damage it.
- Safe and hygienic: made from natural mineral filler, all the raw material for Solid-Ace is harmless to our health, the surface is easy to clean, where no bacteria can propagate. All products have been certified by NSF51 US for Food Equipment materials. All these features builds very good foundation for the application of Solid-Ace in kitchens and bathrooms.
