What is NEOLITH
NEOLITH is the leading brand of Sintered Stone, a revolutionary product that has become the preferred material for architects, designers, planners, and manufacturers.
What is Sintered Stone?
Sintered Stone is a 100% natural material made from minerals derived from granite, glass minerals, and natural oxides:
1. Granite materials: quartz and feldspar, which provide hardness and resistance to the surface.
2. Glass and silicon minerals that ensure chemical stability.
3. Natural oxides that impart chromatic properties.
How is Sintered Stone produced?
NEOLITH is produced using sintering technology that replicates the thousands of years of natural stone formation in just a matter of hours. The raw materials used to create the slabs undergo an extremely high pressure process, passing through a press where a pressure of 400 bar is applied.
In the second phase of the process, the slab passes through a furnace where temperatures exceed 1200 °C. This compaction process creates full-body surfaces with unique technical characteristics.
Why is NEOLITH not ceramic?
The difference between NEOLITH and traditional ceramics is easily noticeable when comparing the characteristics of each surface. While they share some similar properties with traditional ceramics, none possess the performance qualities of NEOLITH, which combines resistance to stains, scratches, chemicals, and heat in a single material. Additionally, the raw materials used to produce NEOLITH are much finer and purer, ensuring a more uniform structure compared to traditional ceramics.

Cleaning and Maintenance
NEOLITH kitchen countertops are easy to clean, as food residues and debris do not penetrate the material. In most cases, a damp cloth is sufficient to remove dirt. Stains caused by common kitchen items (such as lemon juice, vinegar, olive oil, wine, or coffee) are easy to eliminate. Even the most aggressive cleaners (such as oven cleaners) do not affect the NEOLITH surface. A significant advantage stemming from the manufacturing processes is that NEOLITH is heat resistant. Hot pans and pots do not stain or damage the surface.
Daily Cleaning
Use a microfiber cloth to remove dust from the surface. NEOLITH can be cleaned with warm water to which a detergent can be added in the manufacturer’s recommended dosage (products containing hydrofluoric acid and its derivatives should be avoided). Rinse with warm water and dry with a cloth or similar. The use of waxes, oily soaps, impregnators, and other types of treatments (hydrophobic or oleophobic) on the surface is not recommended, as their application is not necessary. Keep in mind that common household detergents may contain waxes and brightening additives, which can leave an oily film on the NEOLITH surface after multiple washes.
Features
- Waterproof - Waterproof and resistant to liquids, with an absorption level close to zero.
- Scratch Resistant - The hardness of the surface makes NEOLITH insensitive to scratches and abrasions.
- High Temperature Resistant - It does not burn upon contact with fire and does not emit smoke or toxic substances when subjected to high temperatures.
- Easy to Clean - Resistant to any type of cleaning chemical agent.
- Hygienic - Does not release harmful substances. It is completely suitable for food contact and is NSF certified.
- UV Resistant - Being 100% natural, colors do not fade when the material is exposed to sunlight or extreme weather conditions.
- 100% Natural - Does not release any harmful substances into the environment.
- Recyclable - Contains up to 98% recycled material in each slab. 100% recyclable.
- Bending Resistant - Equipped with a high cutting gradient that makes it resistant to heavy loads and high pressures.
- Lightweight - Lighter than many coverings or interior surfaces, NEOLITH can be produced in various thicknesses, including an ultra-thin 3 mm option.
- Ultra-Hygienic - The special composition of NEOLITH makes this surface impermeable to most chemicals and allows for sterilization with a wide range of cleaning products.
