Key Highlights

  • Apparent density ~2,517 kg/m³, moderate weight and good material stability.

  • Low porosity / water absorption (0.58%) – suitable for indoor/outdoor surfaces if sealed properly.

  • High compressive strength (~73 MPa dry, ~68 MPa wet) – suitable for flooring, countertops, and cladding.

  • Modulus of rupture ~10–11 MPa – decent resistance to bending and impact loads.

  • Abrasion resistance and friction coefficients make it a safe, low-slip surface for dry (0.60) and wet (0.57) conditions.
