Things to Keep in Mind

DO NOT EXPOSE

Chemicals

Do not expose TechnoQuartz Product, in use or otherwise, to abrasive, strong alkaline, acid, free radicals, oxidizers, or cleaners of the like (whether high, neutral, or low pH). Various chemicals are corrosive and/or erosive in their ability to attack any surface, including TechnoQuartz Product. TechnoQuartz is not heat-proof, chemical-proof, or fracture-proof in any form. Be aware of exposure to these potentially damaging acts.

Prolonged

Exposure to certain cleaning products may cause damage and/or discoloration to the countertop surface. Avoid use of such cleaning products as, but not limited to, bleach, oven cleaners, Comet®, Soft Scrub®, S.O.S.® pads, products with pumice, oil soaps, batteries, paint removers, furniture strippers, tarnish or silver cleaners, furniture cleaners, dishwasher
detergent, acetone or the like.

Abrasive

Do not use abrasive or harsh scrub pads. Do not apply any sealers, penetrants, or topical treatments to TechnoQuartz Product under any circumstances. Such products will wear off and could cause the gloss to appear dull or inconsistent.

Temperature

Do not put hot cookware directly on the TechnoQuartz surface. Sudden and rapid temperature changes can cause discoloration or cracking, especially near the edges. It is always recommended to use trivets or hot pads to protect, especially when using cooking units such as electric frying pans, crockpots, toaster ovens.

Installation of TechnoQuartz Product requires walls and cabinets to be properly prepared for installation, which includes but is not limited to, structurally sound, straight, level and square walls and cabinets. Lack of proper preparation may cause poor installation and poor seam fit or inconsistent countertop overhang and placement. For more information, Please visit our installation Guidlines below.

WARNING AND LEGAL NOTICES

WARNING

Although our products themselves do not pose a risk to end consumers once installed, it is during manufacturing and fabrication that the tradesmen performing these tasks are at risk of being exposed to Respirable Crystalline Silica (RCS1) containing dust. Exposure to silica dust from cutting, grinding, or polishing can cause acute lung injury, silicosis, or cancer. Wear proper personal respiratory protection. Always use the recommended wet-cutting methods. 

NO DRY CUTTING

NO BORING AND DRILLING

NO DRY POLISHING

NO DRY GRINDING

CAUTION

SILICA DUST HARMFUL IF INHALED

Respirable Crystalline Silica Dust Hazard: TechnoQuartz slabs contain crystalline silica. Stone handling processes including, but not limited to, cutting, abrading, grinding, drilling, etc. of any silica-containing stone products may create respirable dust particles containing crystalline silica, which is an inhalation hazard. Workers who inhale respirable crystalline silica dust are at an increased risk of developing serious respiratory or lung-related diseases including, but not limited to, silicosis, lung cancer, and other health effects including kidney disease.
