The Crystal is a Quartzite quarried in Xambioá, Tocantins, Brazil. Its predominantly white color ranges from glassy to milky, while maintaining its translucency. Oxidation percolation around metallic minerals in the form of veins that follow the rock's cracks creates beautiful patterns when backlit. It has a medium to fine grain. This rock can be used in a wide variety of applications, such as gourmet islands, countertops, panels, interior flooring, stairs, tables, and other finishes, making it highly versatile and adaptable to any project. It is a 100% quartz material with traces of sericite as an accessory mineral. In addition to its high hardness, this material also has very low porosity, which aids in specifications for high-use areas such as kitchen islands and countertops. Its translucency aids in the specification of projects with backlighting, demonstrating its unique beauty. Despite all these advantages, this material is not recommended for outdoor use due to the possibility of the resin changing color when exposed to sunlight. INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE MANUFACTURER (MARBLE WORKER) Processing Information The correct selection of materials for manufacturing this product directly impacts production costs and the final quality of the finished piece. Assuming the equipment used is in good condition, the cooling system water is clean, and there is no solid waste circulating through the system, the following are recommendations for the materials required for successful processing: Cutting Methodology: To ensure the quality of cuts and grinding, we recommend diamond discs, saws, cup wheels, and grinding wheels made of soft metal alloys. In Brazil, we recommend the Pyramid PR30 model tools (the same used for Dekton), Performance PS 32 model – 350mm. Waterproofing the cutting area: Because this product has very low water absorption and few pores, waterproofing the areas is not necessary. Gluing the pieces: To ensure quality when gluing the pieces, we recommend the following adhesives: For Brazil and abroad: Platinum, by AKEMI / Titanium, by Tenax / Spezial tak, by Bellinzonni. Because this material is prone to minor oxidation, it is necessary to check with the manufacturer which pigment to use to adjust the glue color. NOTE: It is important to strictly follow the glue + catalyst ratio recommended by the manufacturers. Remember that in mild temperatures, the glue requires a little more time to cure. It is important to remove the protective screen at the cutting area to ensure full adhesion of the glue.

Beneficiation data

The correct selection of inputs for manufacturing this product directly impacts production costs and the final quality of the finished part. Assuming the equipment used is in good condition, the cooling system water is clean, and there is no solid waste circulating through it, the following are recommendations for the inputs required for successful processing:

Cutting methodology: to ensure the quality of cuts and grinding, we recommend diamond discs, saws, cups and grinding wheels made of soft metal alloy. In Brazil, we recommend tools from Pyramid model PR30 (same used in Dekton), Performance Model PS 32 – 350mm,

Waterproofing in the cutting area: As it is a product with very low water absorption and few pores, it is not necessary to waterproof the areas.

Gluing the pieces: To ensure the quality of the gluing of the pieces, we recommend the following glues:

Brazil and abroad: Platinum, from AKEMI / Titanium, from Tenax / Spezial tak, from Bellinzonni. Because this material is prone to minor oxidation, it is necessary to identify with the manufacturer which pigment to use to adjust the color of the glue.

NOTE: It's important to strictly follow the manufacturer's recommended glue-catalyst ratio. Remember that in mild temperatures, the glue requires a little more time to cure. It's important to remove the protective screen at the cutting site to ensure full adhesion of the glue.
