Test Overview
The Mohs hardness test ranks materials on a scale from 1 to 10 based on their ability to withstand scratches from more complex substances. For CeramicSteel, the evaluation followed the EN 15771 standard, ensuring accuracy and compliance with industry benchmarks.
Test Results
A durable surface requires a Mohs hardness rating of 5. CeramicSteel achieved a Mohs hardness rating of 6, which is significantly higher than many competing materials like HPL (Trespa). This rating confirms CeramicSteel’s ability to resist scratches from typical household and commercial tools, providing confidence in its long-term performance.
