Water will dissolve and reabsorb the limestone.Ĥ) Water also dissolves soap fairly well.ĥ) Exhaust fans change the air allowing water to evaporate faster. The water evaporated leaving the limestone. Limestone is soluble in water-that's how it got there. They really shine.ģ) Water without soap will also fairly quickly dissolve lime stone. White vinegar also works well on shower doors. Vinegar can't harm the metal products in your bath. The acid will dissolve limestone, soap and kill mildew. I'll cover several topics including mildew, hard water and soap buildup.Īlso making some suggestions on waxes to reduce these problems and make general cleaning easier.Ģ) White vinegar works great for all three problems. Probably far more than you really want to know. ISO-NPG gelcoat is a tight molecule-very resistant to water penetration.Ĭleaning your ONYX COLLECTION showers and lavatories ?ġ) Here are my thoughts on the cleaning problems we face in the Midwest.

Our product does have a gelcoat on the surface (about 15 mils) similar to cultured marble. The cultured marble industry uses calcium carbonate as their main ingredient. The solid surface industry casts sheet goods and fabricates their products. We use cultured marble type molds to cast our products. We prefer our resin for our products and it serves us well. Corian uses acrylic resin, others use various blends of polyesters and acrylics. We believe our resin serves this purpose well.

Our other 37% is a special polyester resin we developed over the last 23 plus years (and continue to improve) to get the properties which allow us to say "Yes, Guaranteed Forever".Īll manufacturers try to get properties which make products work best for their applications. It is in the plastic coating on the wiring in your home (in a much smaller percentage). The main ingredient in our product (alumina trihydrate) is in roofing materials and the plastics inside automobiles to slow flame spread and as a smoke retardant. Alumina is also the main ingredient in Corian and all "solid surface" products. Here is a little information on our chemistry:Ħ3% of our products is a hydrate crystal-Al2O3+3H2O.
