Mineralmarmo\u00ae<\/span><\/span><\/h4>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”17px”][vc_column_text]Mineralmarmo\u00ae is a mineral compound which, in an opaque finish, is similar to natural stone, while high-gloss it has a brilliance of 80 gloss and a mirror polish. Furthermore, for shower trays, thanks to an application in the pre-molding phase, it can be colored.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”17px”][vc_column_text]Mineralmarmo\u00ae is coated with a technical enamel film called Gelcoat, which makes it extremely resistant and the internal part produced with calcium carbonate powder from the Italian Dolomites, bonded together with polyester resin which can be mixed with PET-based resins recycled.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”17px”][vc_column_text]It is also widely used for the production of washbasins and shower trays for public spaces, resisting daily steam sanitization, so as to guarantee the regulatory standards of the most demanding countries, such as Germany. Thanks to the new generation technical enamel film \u2013 both glossy and opaque \u2013 the scratch resistance is unparalleled; also the possibility of having a technical enamel with virucidal properties (tested with Sars-Cov-2).[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_empty_space height=”128px”]

Already today, 8% of the Mineralmarmo\u00ae used to produce Nicos washbasins and shower trays is made up of its own processing waste, (sprues and casting waste) which are reintroduced into the production cycle.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”17px”][vc_column_text]At the end of their life cycle, our materials are reused as a construction fund but, in the future, as soon as European legislation and logistics allow it, they will be able to return to be 100% recycled to be reborn in new products according to the C2C logic. (Cradle to Cradle).[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”17px”][vc_column_text]The ratio between waste produced and raw materials introduced in our production departments is equal to 12% and today 30% of this waste is already recycled. The goal is to get 60% recycled by 2022.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”40px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_content_width=”grid” simple_background_color=”#eaf9dc”][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”64px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row gap=”25″ row_content_width=”grid” simple_background_color=”#eaf9dc”][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text css_animation=”none”]<\/p>\n

From September 2020 we can make Mineralmarmo\u00ae bactericidal and virucidal: the virus elimination mechanism of our materials is given by their catalytic action: irrefutable laboratory tests highlight the breaks in the membrane and cell walls of bacteria and viruses, including the Coronaviruses when they come into contact with the surface.<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”17px”][vc_column_text]On August 28, 2020, the test report released by UOCMV confirms that “from the culture examination, the surfaces of Nicos International materials demonstrated a virucidal activity against

Vademecum for designers<\/h4>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”17px”][vc_column_text]Nicos International, manufacturer of Mineralmarmo\u00ae, is a company that operates in the B2B and is recognized in the world of furniture for its excellent quality and for the management of all stages of development, supporting its partners in all stages of product development.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”17px”][vc_column_text]Strengthened by decades of know-how in the sector, the founding prerogatives are research, technology and environmental sustainability, which are complemented on a daily basis with reliability, compliance with deadlines and the management of logistics and after-sales.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”128px”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_empty_space height=”128px”][vc_single_image image=”14300″ img_size=”full”][vc_empty_space height=”50px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_content_width=”grid” simple_background_color=”#f5f5f5″][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_empty_space height=”128px”]

\n\t
\n\t\t<\/i>\t<\/div>\n\t

Mineralmarmo\u00ae production technology is based on cast molding, low pressure molding;<\/p>\n<\/div>[vc_empty_space height=”17px”]

\n\t
\n\t\t<\/i>\t<\/div>\n\t

After the definition of a three-dimensional drawing, a full-scale prototype is made which in turn is used for the construction of a mold. The latter, in composite, can be made with the classic method (positive and negative) or with movable inserts through the use of hydraulic pistons;<\/p>\n<\/div>[vc_empty_space height=”17px”]

\n\t
\n\t\t<\/i>\t<\/div>\n\t

Mineralmarmo\u00ae molding can be compared to an injection process: a point is defined from which the material enters the mold and fills the cavity, at this point the material catalyzes and solidifies;<\/p>\n<\/div>[vc_empty_space height=”17px”]

\n\t
\n\t\t<\/i>\t<\/div>\n\t

It is necessary not to have thick masses of material, which would risk a bad catalysis of the area in question: the maximum sections must never exceed 45-50 mm. With this single precaution, uncontrolled thickness variations can be avoided;<\/p>\n<\/div>[vc_empty_space height=”17px”][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_empty_space height=”128px”]

\n\t
\n\t\t<\/i>\t<\/div>\n\t

If necessary, internal ribs are recommended, which do not show evident shrinkage in their correspondence;<\/p>\n<\/div>[vc_empty_space height=”17px”]

\n\t
\n\t\t<\/i>\t<\/div>\n\t

It is possible to have limited undercuts in the piece, foreseeing the construction of the inclined mold; clearly each case must be analyzed in a timely manner to verify the possibility of having a correct extraction of the piece from the mold;<\/p>\n<\/div>[vc_empty_space height=”17px”]

\n\t
\n\t\t<\/i>\t<\/div>\n\t

All Mineralmarmo\u00ae materials are checked at every stage of processing, from design to prototype construction up to industrialization; the finished products, with attention to every detail, before being offered on the market are subjected to severe tests that certify their quality;<\/p>\n<\/div>[vc_empty_space height=”17px”]

\n\t
\n\t\t<\/i>\t<\/div>\n\t

The result is always a unique piece, elegantly finished, resistant and destined to last over time.<\/p>\n<\/div>[vc_empty_space height=”17px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_content_width=”grid” content_text_aligment=”center”][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”64px”]\n CONTACT US<\/span>\n <\/a>[vc_empty_space height=”64px”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_content_width=”grid” simple_background_color=”#f5f5f5″][vc_column width=”1\/2″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_empty_space height=”128px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
