What is Cultured Marble?
In layman’s terms, cultured marble is a mixture of fiberglass, resin and crushed limestone. A more technical description is as follows: Cultured marble belongs to the family of cast polymers. Cast polymers are a mixture of an unsaturated polyester resin, highly filled with inorganic particulates and pigments. Fillers used are engineered calcium carbonates (for cultured marble), aluminum tri-hydrate (for cultured onyx) and aluminum tri-hydrate with a suspension of specialty formulated colour chips (for cultured granite)
How is cultured marble made?
Cultured marble is a precise blend of polyester resin, catalyst, fillers and pigments, thoroughly mixed and placed into open molds which are coated with a clear gelcoat. The gelcoat is especially formatted to produce a tough, durable, non-porous and shiny surface, very stain resistant and easy to maintain.
The shape of the products depends on the molds used. The colours and veinings of the finished product depends on the specific formulation and the techniques of the manufacturer/pourer. As such, each manufacturer produces his own specific colours and finish.
The catalyst used will cause a chemical reaction and make the resin polymerize and harden, bonding the matrix together in a hard strong mass. After some hours of chemical curing, the products are de-molded, trimmed, ground, polished and finally inspected before going out to be installed.
