COSMOLITE®: THE INNOVATIVE ENVIRONMENTALLY-FRIENDLY MATERIAL IS NOW PART OF THE GENTILI CUCINE RANGE
25 March 2024
Cosmolite® is the novel 100% environmentally-sustainable material chosen by Gentili Cucine to extend its range of solutions for kitchen counter tops and other applications. Let’s find out about it together.
WHAT IS COSMOLITE®?
Cosmolite® is the innovative high-tech slab material manufactured by Stone Italiana, a leading recomposed quartz products manufacturer based near Verona. The slabs are made of a granular mix completely composed of pre-consumer recycled aggregates, resulting in a 100% “quartz-free” surface.
As we will see in greater detail, the characteristics of Cosmolite® make it the ideal material for kitchen tops, thanks to its outstanding performance in terms of resistance, ease of hygiene and maintenance and aesthetic versatility.
In other words, it is the perfect solution for a functional, safe and environmentally-sustainable kitchen.
WHY CHOOSE COSMOLITE®?
Cosmolite® is a material with very high technical qualities, particularly:
- Mechanical resistance: Cosmolite® is extremely resistant to the different stresses that can occur in the kitchen environment, such as blows, scratches and abrasions. As its surface is stronger than metals, they do not leave cuts on the top. Cosmolite® is also certified as being resistant to heats of up to 180 °C.
- Resistance to chemicals: its completely pore-free, non-absorbent surface allows Cosmolite® to withstand chemicals and bacteria.
- Practicality and ease of maintenance: as it is totally impermeable, dirt and stains can be removed from Cosmolite® simply using a microfibre cloth, water and a neutral cleaning product. For greater hygiene, alcohol-based disinfectants can be used.
- Suitability for contact with food: Cosmolite® is a bacteriostatic and “food contact proof” material, and therefore suitable for direct contact with food and food liquids.
A Cosmolite® counter top can therefore be used as a work top for preparing food.
HOW TO CLEAN A COSMOLITE® KITCHEN TOP?
For the routine cleaning of a Cosmolite® kitchen top, simply spray the surface evenly with a neutral cleaning product, rub with a microfibre cloth, rinse and then wipe with a dry cloth.
For persistent stains (tomato juice, coffee, red wine or various fats), we recommend the following procedure:
- Spray the affected surface with a citrus-based grease remover or a diluted acidic cleaning product (one part product, three parts water) and leave to act for approximately 5 minutes;
- Rub the surface gently with a sponge until the remaining stain has disappeared;
- Rinse well;
- Wipe with a dry cloth.
Caution: do not use disinfectants containing sodium hypochlorite (e.g. Amuchina) as they can spoil the appearance of the surface.
COSMOLITE®: 100% ENVIRONMENTALLY-FREINDLY PRODUCT
Cosmolite® has obtained a number of certifications that attest its environmental-sustainability throughout the supply chain. These include:
- Carbon Footprint Communication: according to its EPD (Environmental Product Declaration), the manufacture of Cosmolite® generates almost 45% less CO2 emissions than other products in the same sector.
- NSF/ANSI Std.51 FOOD ZONE: NSF certification attests the safety of the materials in environments such as kitchens and canteens, thereby certifying the wholesomeness and safety of the materials for contact with food.
- GREEN GUARD GOLD: Cosmolite® does not release VOC and it is safe for humans (especially babies and children!) and for the environment, as guaranteed by Green Guard Gold, the US Environmental Product Certification issued by the independent, non-profit organisation of the same name.
