Very low water absorption (< 0.08%) – ideal for wet areas or outdoor use.
High mechanical strength, with breaking force ≥ 1,300 N and flexural strength > 35 N/mm² – suitable for heavy use.
Excellent abrasion resistance, with PEI III–IV rating – good for medium to high foot traffic areas.
Good resistance to thermal shock and crazing – ensures long-term durability.
Resistant to chemicals and stains – easy to maintain and clean.
