6 Technical Specification Test Performed Test standard results REMARKS SGS TEST REPORT Physical Properties Moisture Absorption ASTM C % Low absorption means ColorQuartz s nonporous finish resists stain and provides endurance power against bacteria development. No. 654: Density ASTM C lb/ft³ (2.435 g/cm³) Tested with 3/4 (2cm) thickness. 3/4 ColorQuartz = lb/ft³. No. 654: DURABILITY Mohs Hardness Scale DIN EN 101 Quartz = 7 Diamond = 10 (highest) Gemstones and other minerals are ranked according to their Mohs hardness. Mohs hardness refers to a material s ability to resist abrasion or scratch. Quartz is harder and endures scratch better than any other natural stone. No. 654: Impact Resistance NEMA LD3 Section 3.8 No fracture This is a fracture resistance test. A half pound (224g) steel ball dropped from varying heights onto the surface. Developed concentric indentation at 84 drop but no surface fracture. No. 654: High Temperature Resistance NEMA LD3 Section 3.6 No effect No change in color or surface finish - no blistering, crazing, whitening, cracking, and delamination when tested at 365 degree Fahrenheit. (180 degree Celsius). No. 654: Cigarette Test ANSI Z124.6 Section 5.4 Pass No ignition or glow. ColorQuartz resists ignition by cigarettes. No. 654: STRENGTH Flexural Strength ASTM C880 4,382 psi (308.1 kg/cm) Tested with 3/4 (2cm) thickness. This is a bending strength test. ColorQuartz is stronger and withstands bending better than natural stone. No. 654: Compressive Strength ASTM C ,400 psi (2,137.8 kg/cm) This is a compression stress test. High psi indicates ColorQuartz s capacity to tolerate heavy load on surface. No STAIN RESISTANCE Stain Resistance ANSI Z124.6 Section 5.2 No effect No stain after 16-hour exposure to crayon, shoe polish, ink, gentian violet solution, beet juice, grape juice, lipstick, hair dye, iodine, and wet tea bag. No. 654: Wear and Cleanability ANSI Z124.6 Section 5.3 Pass Wear: passed 10,000 scrub cycles. Cleanability: lost 1.1% of light reflectance after 25 cycles. No Resistance to Fungi and Bacteria ASTM G21 No traces of growth ColorQuartz is inherently resistant to fungi and mold due to its low moisture absorption and nonporous properties. No. 654: CHEMICAL RESISTANCE Resistance to Household Chemical ANSI Z124.6 Section 5.5 Pass No visual damage after 16-hour exposure to naptha, ethyl alcohol, ammonia, citric acid, lye (drano), acetone, vinegar, pine oil, phenol (Lysol). No. 654: Resistance to Chemical Substances ASTM C650 Not affected This test measures resistance to acid, alkali, and chemical agents. ColorQuartz is not affected by majority of acids and hydroxide. No. 654: SAFETY AND HEALTH Surface Burning ASTM E84 Class A rated ColorQuartz is rated Class A building material by National Fire Protection Association - Life Safety Code (NFPA) and International Building Code (IBC) Chapter 8 Interior Finishes. No Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) EPA 5021 method 7.01 mg/kg VOCs are a large group of carbon-based chemicals, which evaporate at room temperature. ColorQuartz test results are within the safe level in VOCs content. No. CY/2010/A2149 Benzene Toluene Ethylbenzene Xylene (BTEX) EPA 5021 method Benzene and Xylene= Not detected Toluene = 5.45 mg/kg Ethylbenzene = 1.20 mg/kg ColorQuartz is tested to contain none or very low level of BTEX. No. CY/2010/A2150 Styrene EPA 5021 method Not detected ColorQuartz product is safe from Styrene. No. CY/2010/A2151 ColorQuartz testing is performed by SGS Testing Company - an US Independent Laboratory. Testing represents average results. Results may vary for different ColorQuartz series.
