Krion® holds several certifications, including GREENGUARD GOLD for indoor air quality, NSF for food safety, and REACH compliance for chemical safety, with an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) demonstrating its sustainability and positive environmental impact.
The EPDs for Krion® highlight its photocatalytic properties, contributing to environmental benefits such as air purification and self-cleaning capabilities, positioning Krion® as a sustainable choice for architectural projects.
The document provides an estimation of Krion®'s resistance to various substances, categorizing them into four types based on their chemical nature and potential impact on the material.
This technical document provides detailed information on the resistance of Krion® surfaces to various substances, including testing procedures, classifications of substances based on their impact on the material, and guidelines for cleaning and maintenance.
The document lists numerous substances tested on Krion® surfaces to determine their resistance, categorized into four types based on the cleaning method required to remove stains: Type-1: Stains removable with a cloth and K-Clean cleaner; Type-2: Stains removable with a cloth and K-Cream cleaner; Type-3: Stains removable with a white scouring pad and K-Cream cleaner; Type-4: Stains that require surface renewal for removal. Type-3 and type-4 stains should be addressed immediately, and defects from type-4 substances are not covered by warranty.
The document advises conducting prior tests with special products and highlights the importance of avoiding prolonged exposure to substances. It mentions that Krion® surfaces are non-porous and resistant to chemicals, but certain products should be avoided.
Krion® materials come with a 10-year limited warranty covering manufacturing defects, with coverage decreasing over time, specifying percentages for material and labor costs for each year.
The document emphasizes that handling, storage, and use of Krion® should be under the owner's control, and KRION SOLID SURFACE S.A. is not liable for improper use. It states that the information is proprietary and protected by intellectual property laws.
The document provides contact details for KRION SOLID SURFACE S.A. and notes that Krion® is manufactured according to ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 standards, ensuring quality and environmental management compliance.
