- Safety & Health Compliance: It eliminates the danger of respirable silica dust for fabricators and installers. This makes it a "future-proof" choice as global regulations, such as those in Australia (which banned silica-containing stone in 2024), continue to tighten.
- Enhanced Durability: Despite the lack of silica, these surfaces often match or exceed traditional quartz in performance. High-quality options maintain a Mohs hardness of 6-7, ensuring excellent scratch resistance. Some formulations even offer improved impact resistance, making them less prone to chipping or cracking.
- Eco-Friendly Composition: Many silica-free products are made from 90% or more recycled materials, such as recycled glass and ceramic fillers. This reduces reliance on mining natural resources and consumes less energy during production.
- Hygienic & Low Maintenance: Like traditional quartz, these surfaces are non-porous (water absorption <0.05%), meaning they do not harbor bacteria and are highly resistant to stains and moisture without ever needing to be sealed.
General Information on Silica in Fabrication of Quartz Surfaces
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration ("OSHA") has identified exposure to respirable crystalline silica as a health hazard to workers involved in fabricating, finishing, and installing stone countertop products. This hazard can be mitigated with simple and effective dust controls including wet cutting, dust collection methods, and use of appropriate respiratory protection. We encourage you to review the below resources created by OSHA and the Natural Stone Institute for additional information on reducing silica exposure in countertop fabrication.
