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.
