By composite marble is meant a compound based on marble, resin and coloured pigments. It has moderate resistance to breakage, scratches and excessive rubbing. Contact with chemical agents or acid-based foods should be avoided. Porous like all natural stones, it absorbs the substances it comes into contact with. A good water repellent treatment, repeated periodically, slows absorption times and allows acting before the liquid penetrates into the stone. However, it does not offer any protection against the corrosive effects of acidic substances. Available with various profiles and different colours.
