Kreos Plus: the future of mineral surfaces
Breton unveils its new technology to change the mineral surface manufacturing paradigm under the banner of safety and sustainability.
Choose the future, right now
Silicosis: a serious issue
Prolonged inhalation of unsafe levels of silica dust can result in silicosis, a chronic lung disease that may cause breathing difficulties, Progressive Massive Fibrosis (PMF), or even lung cancer.
To address these safety concerns, it is essential to switch the paradigm through a next-generation technology for mineral surface manufacturing.

Breton ready-to-use solution
Kreos® Plus represents the technical solution for manufacturing low-silica (less than 40% by weight), double-layered mineral surface slabs.
The result of the process is a final product with:
- A thin upper layer that incorporates cristobalite, quartz, or Biorite® aggregates to achieve the required aesthetic
and technical features;
- A thicker lower layer, manufactured using a special combination of stone aggregates.
If we were to use Biorite® aggregates in the thin upper layer, the result would be a “100% crystalline silica-free” product!

Safety and trendiness
Kreos® Plus is fully integrable with another state-of-the-art system: Chromia®.
Chromia® redefines innovation by offering boundless high-definition designs while preserving all BretonStone® distinctive attributes and characteristics over time.
Furthermore, the combination between Kreos® Plus and Chromia® enables the production of full-body digital printed designs!
