Sintered Stone: Better Than Tiles?

With its stunning looks and extreme resilience, sintered stone has become the go-to material for contemporary living. It's taking center stage in homes everywhere, making its mark from entire feature walls down to the coffee table in your living room. Pairing it with high-performance Molibon structural glue for sintered stone doesn’t just enhance the style of a room—it also guarantees long-lasting performance.

What is Sintered Stone? 

Sintered stone is made from natural minerals like feldspar, clay, and silica. The sintered stones are pressed under extremely high pressure—over 10,000 tons—and fired at very high temperatures (Above 1200 ℃). Finally, high-end inkjet and glaze spraying equipment are used to achieve the rich and varied patterns on the sintered stone.

Sintered Stone vs. Ceramic Tiles: Key Differences

1.Composition: Tiles are made of kaolin clay and quartz sand. But sintered stone? It's built from premium stuff like feldspar and inorganic clay. That's why it's inherently purer and more stable from the ground up.

2. Production Process: Ceramic tiles use conventional manufacturing methods, while sintered stone undergoes extreme compression and intense heat treatment. This advanced process creates an exceptionally dense structure for sintered stones that requires specialized bonding materials. For optimal results, we recommend Molibon sintered stone adhesive—specifically formulated to bond securely with this high-performance material.

3. Specifications: Ceramic tiles are typically produced in smaller standard sizes, while sintered stone comes in larger formats with various thickness options (3–20 mm), ideal for creating seamless, "one-piece" installations. For these large-format panels, we recommend using a specialized adhesive like Molibon to ensure a secure bond and prevent hollow spots beneath the surface.

4. Applications: While tiles are mostly for walls and floors, sintered stone 's strength allows for broader use—including countertops and built-in furniture. Molibon adhesive for sintered stone delivers reliable performance with its weather-resistant and crack-proof formula that stands up to diverse environmental conditions.

5. Performance: Sintered stone is superior to ceramic tile in hardness, scratch resistance and heat resistance. To ensure these superior qualities last, complete your installation with high strength epoxy adhesive. Its powerful bonding capabilities and anti-seepage properties protect your investment for years to come.

Sintered stone surpasses tile in looks, strength, and application. Unlock its full potential for your renovation by using Molibon epoxy glue.
