Property range of values and strengths of granite.
High strength granite.
Granite adhesives for all purpose.
Compressive strength c170 lbs in 4 700 60 000.
This material is highly sensitive to acids.
Acid etching will be highly visible on this material when exposed to acidic foods such as lemons or tomatoes.
Do not use this material on kitchen countertop applications where acid etching is a concern.
Granite is hard enough to resist most abrasion strong enough to bear substantial weight and durable enough to resist scratching chipping and weathering.
These properties have made granite a widespread construction stone throughout human history.
Latapoxy biogreen is a high strength chemical resistant epoxy adhesive that contains biobased materials derived from renewable resources.
The average density of granite is between 2 65 and 2 75 g cm3 its compressive strength usually lies above 200 mpa and its viscosity near stp is 3 6 1019 pa s.
If acid etching is a concern select a minimally sensitive material.
The melting temperature of dry granite at ambient pressure is 1215 1260 c.
These characteristics make granite a very desirable and useful material.
Granite is nearly always massive hard and tough.
Flexural strength c880 lbs in 700 5 500.
It is strongly reduced in the presence of water down to 650 c at a few kbar pressure.
It is also heat resistant and can be polished to a high luster.
