1- Thin and Lightweight Structure:
- Typically available in thicknesses ranging from 3 mm to 5 mm.
- Despite being large-format panels, its lightweight structure does not put extra load on the supporting system.
2- High Durability:
- Highly resistant to UV rays, scratches, impacts, and chemicals.
- Can withstand outdoor conditions for many years without deformation.
3- Waterproof and Moisture-Resistant:
- Has a water absorption rate below 0.1%, making it highly resistant to moisture.
- Resistant to rain, humidity, and frost, making it a reliable choice for exterior facades.
4- Fire-Resistant:
- It is a non-combustible material and maintains its physical form even when exposed to high temperatures.
- Complies with fire safety regulations, making it a safe facade cladding option.
5- Eco-Friendly:
- Made from recyclable materials.
- Manufactured using environmentally friendly technologies that do not harm nature.
6- Aesthetic Variety:
- Available in various designs and colors, including wood, natural stone, concrete, and marble textures.
- Its minimalist and modern appearance provides architects with extensive design freedom.

Exterior and Interior Application Areas:
- Creates a modern and stylish exterior surface for commercial and residential projects.
- Allows buildings to breathe with ventilated facade systems.
- Frequently preferred in metro stations, hospitals, airports, laboratories, and public transportation projects due to its durability and easy-to-clean properties.
SINTERFLEX FEATURES
SINTERFLEX is a term used in the ceramic industry for flexible, large-format, and thin ceramic slabs. It is commonly preferred for interior and exterior facade applications. Here are the key technical features of SINTERFLEX:
1. Material Properties:
- Manufacturing Process: Sintering (high-temperature pressing and firing)
- Raw Materials: Natural minerals, quartz, feldspar, and clay
- Surface Types: Matte, glossy, satin, or textured surface options
2. Physical and Mechanical Properties:
- Thickness: 3 mm, 5 mm, 6 mm, 12 mm (varies depending on application)
- Weight: Lighter than traditional ceramics (e.g., approximately 7 kg/m² for 3 mm thickness)
- Dimensions: Produced in large slabs (typically 1000x3000 mm, 1200x3600 mm, etc.)
- Flexibility: Provides a certain degree of flexibility due to its thin structure
3. Durability and Resistance:
- Scratch Resistance: High surface hardness (7+ on the MOHS hardness scale)
- Chemical Resistance: Resistant to acids, bases, and detergents
- UV Resistance: Does not fade or change color when exposed to sunlight
- Water Absorption Rate: Less than 0.1% (virtually waterproof)
- Heat Resistance: Withstands high temperatures, non-combustible material
- Fire Resistance: A1 fire-rated (according to EN 13501-1 standard). Resistant to high temperatures and does not emit toxic gases during a fire.
- Impact and Bending Strength: Despite being lightweight and thin, it is highly durable.
