Its revolutionary Hybriq+® technology effectively reduces crystalline silica content, resulting in an innovative, sustainable, and high-performance mineral surface.
In 2020 we launched our revolutionary Hybriq+® technology, which drastically reduced the crystalline silica content in Silestone’s composition, blending premium minerals with recycled materials to create a new product category: Mineral Hybriq+® Surfaces.
Max. 40% crystalline silica
Max. 10% crystalline silica
SilestoneXM is our design mineral surface with a maximum content of 10% crystalline silica, embracing the entire Q10 range of Silestone.
In 2017, Cosentino anticipated the future by initiating a comprehensive research process to create the first low-silica mineral surfaces on the market. In 2020, thanks to Hybriq+® technology, we launched the first two low-silica collections: Loft and Sunlit Days. By 2023, we manufacture 85% of surfaces with less than 40% crystalline silica and 15% with less than 10%.
This Verification Statement claims that Cosentino’s Hybriq+® technology complies with the highest environmental standards, maintaining the same level of performance, durability, and resistance of Silestone.
Our Hybriq+® technology achieved at the beginning of 2023 independent certification from SGS Australia for its entire Silestone color portfolio to contain less than 40% crystalline silica.
Since its creation, Silestone has set major trends in its market, transforming the world of kitchen countertops and is today a benchmark in interior design. Once again, we evolve. Enjoy creating your own home. Be your own best designer.
