Effective specific activity of natural radionuclides: Granite Zheltau-9 (Zhalgyz) belongs to class I and has no restrictions on its use in construction, decoration of residential, industrial and public buildings and structures, restoration, landscaping and road construction.
Features of appearance: Granite Zheltau-9 (Zhalgyz) has a coarse-grained structure of a massive texture. The color of granite is pink-white-gray. With a coarse-grained structure, granite has an even, uniform overall pattern and color, which makes it possible to join elements of products or slabs without problems during cladding and paving without the effect of a “pattern break”.
