Silicosis: a serious issue

Today, there is a growing policy focus on restricting the trade of products with high crystalline silica content.

The market demands a new industrial raw material free from crystalline silica while maintaining the same features of natural quartz aggregates.

The solution

Over the past decade, Breton and its Institute of Technology (BIT) have prioritized operator safety and waste reduction as strategic goals.

This commitment has led to the development of Biorite®: an industrial material 100% crystalline silica-free, totally safe for operators and with the same technical features as quartz.

Advantages

  • Bioquartz® guarantees the final product to possess identical technical and aesthetic features as conventional quartz used in Engineered Stone slab manufacturing process.

    / 01
    As natural quartz

  • Breton Bioquartz® ensures safety for human health, providing companies relevant marketing advantages.

    / 02
    Safe for the operator

  • The sludges and residual mixtures from the BretonStone® slab plant can be utilized as raw materials, making it a circular solution that not only reduces production costs but also promotes the adoption of circular business models.

    / 03
    Zero-waste solution

  • Slabs obtained through vacuum vibro-compression, using synthetic aggregates which contain calcium and aluminium meta-silicate with amorphous structure, are a patented solution by Breton.
