Travertine Producst
Travertine is a limestone that has a chemical origin and is fed by atmospheric and magma water from the deposition of calcium carbonate around the springs and caves along faults, and by penetrating deep into the earth, Meanwhile heating along with gases such as sulfur dioxide and Elements such as magnesium, iron, etc.. are pushed to the upper layers of the earth. And at the same time as the temperature and pressure drop and the pH changes, they create the basis for the formation of travertine.
Desirable features of Travertine according to the American standard (ASTM):
Water absorption coefficient ---------------------------------Maximum 2.5%
Specific weight -------------------------------------------------2.3 to 2.66 g/cm2
Compressive strength ---------------------------------- At least 480 kg/cm2
Tensile strength ----------------------------------------------- At least 80 kg/cm2
Abrasion resistance ----------------------------- -------------------------------- 10
