CARBONATI APUANI Italiano English COMPANY PRODUCTS PRODUCT PLUS SERVICES CONTACTS COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE Carbonati Apuani’s competitive advantage lies in the ability to create quality products, which direct bearing onto the properties of its client’s end product, assessed in terms of: Whiteness Product structure Particle size consistency There are numerous applications of our product, from the building sector in general, to wall cladding with thick coating, glass and ceramics, adhesives and sealants. WHITENESS Whiteness, defined as the percentage of impurity (non-white grains) is the feature that determines the homogeneity of the client’s end product. Even if Carrara marble is in itself one of the best in Europe of its degree of whiteness (in some cases it is used as reference standard), we have implemented a series of controls in order to ensure the maximum level of quality in the target markets. PRODUCT STRUCTURE Product structure depends upon the polyhedral nature of the grains and is the key feature of micro-grains. The technology used and the complex production system ensure that particle size reduction occurs in such a way as to make the product polyhedral. PARTICLE SIZE CONSISTENCY Particle size consistency, assessed on the basis of particle size distribution consistency, is important for all product types. Daily checks performed both on the product and on the intermediate processing phases allow us to ensure a high consistency in particle size distribution over time.

CARBONATI APUANI Italiano English COMPANY PRODUCTS PRODUCT PLUS SERVICES CONTACTS PRODUCTS Granomar products can be divided into three categories: Grains, produced with an average particle size greater than 0.5 mm Sands, produced with an average particle size lower than 0.5, mm without any filler Powders, produced with an average particle size lower than 0.5, mm with the addition of filler Division into categories and into our range of products occurs through the definition of particle size distributions, i.e. the overall percentage tolerances for the materials passing through the different measures.
