FIGURE 6.11 Table topping from rejects

FIGURE 6.12 Different top layers grani industrial waste (mixture of granite powder
with organic binder)

crushed using ball crushers (all mill) followed by a process of sieving mixed
with organic polymer and poured in to another mold with a 1 cm space all
around.
Table toppings proved to be very competitive. The table topping had many
coatings, each coating was used in a different application and the grani layer has
proved to be the best due to its durability and appearance. This led to the
production of plates with thicknesses ranging from 10mm to 30mm used for
fences, garden furniture, etc.
