Resistance to chemicals
The test the resistance against chemical agents, the glazed satin products are dipped in hydrochloric acid 5% solution and then in a sodium hydroxide 5% aqueous solution.
Thermal shock resistance
After the glazing phase, each Catalano satin product is tested for thermal shock resistance through three continuous cycles of progressive thermal shock, with temperature ranging from 110° to 180°.
High Temperature single-firing
To guarantee Catalano’s signature quality, the coloured products go through a single firing at high temperature -1250°- which gives them the same strength and durability properties of the Cataglaze®+ Silver Titanium gloss finish.
