The first low-silica surface
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.

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 Hybriq+® technology, which drastically reduced the crystalline silica content in Silestone’s composition, blending premium minerals with recycled materials to create a new product category: Mineral Hybriq+® Surfaces.
Hybriq+® Technology Features
-
Up to 10% and 40% of crystalline silica
-
99% Reused water
-
100% Renewable Electric Energy
-
Minimum 20 % recycled materials
EACH SILESTONE COLOR FEATURES A LABEL INDICATING THE MAXIMUM PERCENTAGE OF CRYSTALLINE SILICA PRESENT IN ITS COMPOSITION
Max. 40% crystalline silica
Max. 10% crystalline silica
SilestoneXM is our design mineral surface with a maximum content of 10% crystalline silica, embracing the entire Q10 range of Silestone.
SILESTONE AND THE Hybriq+® TECHNOLOGY
SINCE 2023, ALL SILESTONE COLORS ARE MANUFACTURED WITH LOW CRYSTALLINE SILICA CONTENT POWERED BY Hybriq+®
Hybriq+® IS THE RESULT OF YEARS OF INNOVATION AND INVESTMENT
In 2017, Cosentino anticipated the future by initiating a comprehensive research process to create the first low-silica mineral surfaces on the market. In 2020, thanks to Hybriq+® technology, we launched the first two low-silica collections: Loft and Sunlit Days. By 2023, we manufacture 85% of surfaces with less than 40% crystalline silica and 15% with less than 10%.
