Natural stone: Antolini's commitment to research, patents and technological development

Antolini® has been an international benchmark in the world of natural stone for 70 years. A journey built on a clear vision: to innovate the material while respecting its authenticity, making it ever more contemporary and functional.

The company's continuous commitment to research and development translates into technological solutions and a rich patent portfolio that allow it to meet the needs of contemporary architecture and design. 

 

Azerocare®Plus by Antolini: high-tech patented treatment 

Exclusively applied at the company’s production units, Azerocare®Plus is a treatment patented for its high technological content, designed to permanently protect the surface of natural stones from stains and corrosion caused by contact, even prolonged, with oily or acidic substances. This technology fully protects the aesthetic appearance and  the tactile perception of the stone, making marbles, onyx and dolomites particularly suitable even for highly stressed environments such as kitchens and bathrooms. Azerocare®Plus is tested up to 24 hours, anticorrosive, stain-resistant, hygienic, easy to clean and suitable for food contact: therefore perfect for kitchen countertops and bathroom tops.

Azerobact®Plus is the innovative treatment developed by Antolini for protection and hygiene in indoor spaces, which creates on the surface of natural stone an antibacterial barrier that prevents the formation and proliferation of bacteria. It is suitable for all natural stones and for every application area — residential, hospitality and contract; being also suitable for food contact, it is particularly recommended in kitchens and bathrooms. 

Compliant with International Standards, the treatment Azerobact®Plus preserves the aesthetic qualities of the stone, ensuring long-lasting performance.

Avacuumprocess® by Antolini: new design possibilities for natural stone surfaces

One of the company's most advanced technologies and the result of years of experimentation is finally Avacuumprocess®, an exclusive process that involves vacuum impregnation of slabs with special, very high-quality resins custom-made for Antolini®. Thanks to this technology, rare and delicate materials such as onyx, alabaster, quartz, breccias and quartzites gain greater structural stability and improved flexural strength. It also enhances the beauty of natural stone and enables a uniform polish.

Avacuumprocess® therefore expands design possibilities, making usable even stones that, by their nature, would have a limited use.
