Testing CeramicSteel

Durability Through Strict Testing

We are dedicated to providing products of the highest quality. Our CeramicSteel surfaces have undergone thorough testing to ensure they meet the stringent requirements of contemporary applications. These tests demonstrate exceptional attributes, including resistance to scratches, flames, oil, and alkaline substances. Each assessment has been carefully designed to highlight the durability, reliability, and versatility of our CeramicSteel products.

Purpose of the Tests

These tests compare CeramicSteel’s performance with other materials, including glass, HPL, and ceramic tiles. The results offer data-driven evidence supporting CeramicSteel’s suitability for use in offices, kitchens, bathrooms, classrooms, and other challenging environments.

Overview of Testing

The testing process included internal and external laboratories to measure critical performance metrics and is assessed according to ISO standards. The surface durability is examined using scratch, hardness, impact, and abrasion tests. The ability to resist flames and oil/grease is tested under extreme conditions to simulate real-life scenarios. Additionally, the stain, alkaline, and acid resistance of the material were evaluated to confirm its reliability in harsh environments. Magnetic properties were compared to establish the product versatility.

Key Findings

CeramicSteel consistently outperformed competing materials, demonstrating superior resistance across all categories below.
Results indicated that CeramicSteel is particularly effective in environments demanding high resistance to mechanical wear, flame exposure, and chemical contact.
While materials like HPL and ceramic tiles performed adequately, only CeramicSteel matched the performance of glass in key areas, solidifying its position as a top choice for backsplashes, markerboards, chalkboards, toilet partitions, and wall applications.
