Colorquartz aggregate is comprised of quartz particles colored with permanent pigments that are ceramically bonded to the quartz, using a proprietary 3M process. It is used in swimming pools, seamless flooring, and a variety of other architectural applications. Colorquartz aggregate is available in 12 colors.
Designs are limitless.
Each 3M quartz granule undergoes a proprietary ceramic-coating process that bonds permanent coloring pigments to the quartz. The result is bright, consistent, long-lasting color that is unaffected by harsh pool chemicals, low pH or sunlight. Plaster, in comparison, provides limited color options and fades easily over time. An ongoing program of accelerated testing exposes Colorquartz aggregate to high levels of ultraviolet light and chemicals. In addition, controlled, long-term exposure studies are combined with monitoring of actual installations to ensure that Colorquartz aggregate continues to provide the highest standard of color retention in the industry.
