Portoro Gold Marble Slabs & Tiles, Italy Black Marble

Marble is a limestone based material.
Marble properties:
? Reasonably porous and requires a good penetrative sealer.
? Moderately scratch resistant.
? Not acid resistant (surface polish will be damaged from acids found in foods such as coffee, red wine, soft drinks, fruit juice and fruit).
Marble is not recommended for kitchen bench tops due to its susceptibility to scratching and acid attack.
Penetrative sealers are designed to reduce capillary action and thus slow down the penetration of staining liquids. Spilled liquids should be wiped up and not left on benchtops.
