MINERAL HYBRIQ® SURFACES
HYBRID MINERAL SURFACES TO CREATE INNOVATIVE SPACES THAT ENDURE OVER TIME
Silestone® is a low-silica mineral surface composed of premium minerals and recycled materials.
Its revolutionary Hybriq+® technology effectively reduces crystalline silica content, resulting in an innovative, sustainable, and high-performance mineral surface.
A LEADING BRAND FOR OVER 30 YEARS THAT INSPIRES DESIGNS FOR KITCHENS, BATHROOMS AND HOME SURFACES
HYBRIQ+® TECHNOLOGY
2020 MARKS THE BEGINNING OF A NEW REVOLUTIONARY TECHNOLOGY THAT REDUCES THE CRYSTALINE SILICA CONTENT IN SILESTONE®
In 2020 we launched our revolutionary technology Hybriq+®, that drastically reduces the content of crystalline silica in Silestone’s composition, blending premium minerals with recycled materials to create a new product category: Hybriq+® Mineral Surfaces.
Hybriq+® Technology Features
- Up to 10% / 40% of crystalline silica
- 99% Reused Water
- 100% renewable electric energy
- Minimum 20% Recycled Materials
EACH SILESTONE® COLOR NOW FEATURES A Q10+ OR Q40+ LABEL, INDICATING THE MAXIMUM PERCENTAGE OF CRYSTALLINE SILICA PRESENT IN ITS COMPOSITION
SILESTONE® WITH HYBRIQ+® TECHNOLOGY
IN 2023, THE COMPLETE RANGE OF SILESTONE® COLORS HAS DRASTICALLY REDUCED ITS CONTENT OF CRYSTALLINE SILICA
HYBRIQ+® IS THE RESULT OF 6 YEARS OF INNOVATION AND INVESTMENT

2020
A Breakthrough Technology
HYBRIQ+® TECHNOLOGY LAUNCH
Introduction of Hybriq+®. Loft and Sunlit Days, first collection with drastically reduced level of crystalline silica.
2023
Less is more
A NEW MILESTONE IN CRYSTALLINE SILICA REDUCTION
In 2023, Q40+ represents the 85% of our entire production, while Q10+ represents 15%.
A TECHNOLOGY CERTIFIED BY PRESTIGIOUS INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS
This Verification Statement claims that our Hybriq+® technology complies with the highest environmental standards, maintaining the same level of performance, durability and resistance properties of Silestone®.
Our Hybriq+® technology achieved at the beginning of 2023 independent certification from SGS Australia for its entire Silestone color portfolio to contain less than 40% crystalline silica.

A REVOLUTIONARY AND SUSTAINABLE PROCESS
Sun is our energy
Did you know?
Every year, we use 12,45 GWh from renewable energies. That’s the electricity consumption of 12,000 households!
100% Renewable Electric Energy
We believe in renewable energy as a driving force for innovation.
For that reason, all electric energy used in the manufacturing process of Silestone is powered by energy from natural sources, minimizing our carbon footprint.

We take care of the present to protect the tomorrow
99% Recycled Water
We know water is our biggest treasure.
That is why we use 99% of recycled water from the manufacture of Silestone thanks to a circular system of continuous filtration that allows us to save every single drop.

Selection of premium minerals
We chose a mix of different premium minerals, specifically selected with the final design in mind achieving unseen effects, hues and finnishes, while maintaining the hardness and performance from quartz, but with crystalline silica levels found in natural stone.
A new formulation
Recycling and circular economy are our philosophy
At least 20% Recycled Material
We believe in waste reuse and giving them a second life through circular economy. That is why, Silestone manufactured under HybriQ+ Technology includes at least 20% of recycled material, such as glass,in its composition.
