Technical Data Manual Aerial View of Caesarstone Factory Kibbutz Sdot Yam, Israel Adjacent to the ancient Roman city of Caesaria Technical Data Manual Product Description Caesarstone® is the original engineered quartz surface. Use it as an attractive, versatile, and distinctive finish for residential, commercial and institutional buildings. Caesarstone is tough enough to withstand wear and tear on just about any interior surface, and beautiful enough for every design scheme. Use Caesarstone for: • Countertops and backsplashes • Shower and tub surrounds • Lavatory and sinks • Interior wall cladding • Table and desk tops • Wainscots and wall bases • Toilet compartment partitions • Fireplace mantles and surrounds* • Elevator cab walls • Service counters • Stair and mezzanine railing systems* Caesarstone outperforms natural stone. It has four times more flexural strength and two times more impact resistance than granite. It exceeds the standards for marble by even greater margins. Caesarstone also provides greater consistency than ordinary stone that is veined and prone to flaws.

Please refer to your fabricator and our warranty guidelines for further details. Technical Data Manual Because of Caesarstone’s superior strength and durability, you may be able to use thinner materials to save weight, or larger pieces to reduce the number of joints. Either way, you save money with a simplified fabrication and installation process. Furthermore, Caesarstone is virtually maintenance free. Its quartz aggregate makes Caesarstone harder and more scratch resistant than either granite or marble, and its high-quality polymer binders make it non-porous and highly resistant to stains. Caesarstone keeps its good looks without sealants or waxes and meets the stringent sanitation requirements of restaurants, hospitals, and schools.

Technical Data Manual Limitations Caesarstone is recommended for interior use only. Intense Heat: Caesarstone tolerates brief exposures to moderately hot temperatures. Trivets or hot pads should always be used. Chemicals: Avoid contact with products containing trichloroethane or methylene chloride (such as paint removers or strippers), abrasives, alkaline levels with a pH greater than 8, hydrofluoric acid, liquid bluing, gentian violet, and aggressive cleaning compounds like oven or grill cleaners. Acids: Caesarstone is not affected by solutions of common acids including hydrochloric, muriatic, and sulfuric acids. In concentrated solutions, after exposures of 24 hours, some acids such as nitric acid will discolor Caesarstone, though they will not compromise the strength of the material. Hydrofluoric acid spills should be cleaned immediately because it will react with quartz in Caesarstone. In the event of accidental exposure to these products, thoroughly rinse Caesarstone with clean water as soon as possible; take care to protect skin and eyes. Bases: Sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide in 10% or higher concentrations will etch Caesarstone surface; spills should be cleaned from immediately. In household concentrations, such as those found in home drain cleaners, sodium and potassium hydroxide have no effect on Caesarstone. Pebble 4030 BSH NY 2003 Concrete Nova Kitchen West Hollywood, CA Solvents: Caesarstone resists a wide range of commercial and industrial solvents. Household cleaners and industrial strength solutions of methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) have shown no effect on Caesarstone. Solvents that can be safely used in pure concentrations only on Caesarstone include: • Acetone • Mineral Spirits • Methylene Chloride • Lacquer Thinner • Isopropyl Alcohol • Trichloroethane Staining Agents: Caesarstone resists common laboratory staining agents. It is not permanently stained by povidone-iodine (Betadine), potassium permanganate or tincture of iodine. Residual stains of Betadine or iodine on light-colored Caesarstone cleans off with chlorine bleach. Black and dark colors of Caesarstone show no stain from these agents. Some colors of Caesarstone can be stained by prolonged contact with solutions of gentian violet, blue ink and some lipsticks.

Plan for front-to-back support strips 2.5”-wide (40mm–100mm) to coincide with cutouts and periodic support. Support must be provided under all countertop joints. • The use of ¾” material requires the use of a minimum ³⁄8” thick plywood sub top if the edge detail is 1¼” or greater. Some types of cabinets may require the use of ¾” plywood for European-style frames and supports. • Leave ¹⁄8” (3mm) minimum clearance between the plywood and built-up edges. NOTE: Support is required across the top of a dishwasher space and over an under-counter oven. Supports for Overhang As a general guideline, support is required for overhangs of Caesarstone. The following guidelines are for standard cabinets 24"in depth.

Allow gaps for expansion of not less than ¹⁄8 inch per 5 feet (1.6mm per 1.5m) when Caesarstone is installed between walls or other fixed conditions. Clean surfaces to receive adhesives and apply adhesives as described below. Set Caesarstone gently into position. In many conditions of use, Caesarstone should be adequately secured with 100% clear silicone adhesive only. Adjacent pieces of Caesarstone should be tight fitting, level, and neat. Cement adjacent pieces together with high quality polyester or epoxy stone adhesives. Use products that are recommended by their manufacturers for conditions of use. Follow stone adhesive manufacturer’s instructions. Stone adhesive should be tinted to match or complement the Caesarstone color. Fill joints and clamp or brace Caesarstone in position until stone adhesive sets. Seal joints between backsplashes and countertops and around tub and shower enclosures with high quality 100% silicone. Caesarstone recommends the use of adhesives, sealants, and solvents that are compatible with sustainable construction practices. Precautions Observe good stone working and safety practices at all times and comply with applicable building codes and regulations. While rigorous quality control is maintained in the manufacture of Caesarstone, minor variations in appearance and aggregate distribution can occur. Adjacent pieces should be from the same batch and inspected for visual compatibility before fabrication.
