Petrochemical: Applied as corrosion-resistant bedding for tanks/pipelines.
Fountains & Decorative Features: Highlights water clarity; surfaces engineered to reduce biofilm/scale buildup.
Heavy-Duty Drainage: Under railways/roadways (EN 13242), providing structural stability and optimal drainage.

5. Technical Advantages and Value Analysis

Superb Whiteness: L* ≥ 88 measured on HunterLab spectrophotometer, higher reflectivity under sunlight (Data: HunterLab).
Ultra-low Porosity: Water absorption <0.5% helps prevent algae and frost damage.
Exceptional Durability: Min. 20-year lifecycle in urban/exterior environments; wear loss rate < 0.12% per annum (ISO 14688-2 test).
Eco-Friendliness: Non-toxic, heavy metal content < 0.001% (CTI Lab certification).
Precision CNC Processing: Size control: absolute tolerance ≤ 0.5mm, benefitting both uniform filtration and surface laying.
Corrosion Resistance: 9.8–10x the acid resistance of standard limestone after 3,000h acetic acid soak per ISO 11126.
