New silestone antibacterial: for a world that demands more. Cosentino, worldwide leader in quartz surfaces manufactured from natural stone, has created added value solutions for private and public spaces ever since its origins Now, after 15 years in the most demanding international markets, Cosentino has developed its product Silestone®, making it the first antibacterial quartz cooking top. As a result of the collaboration with the multinational company Microban®, worldwide leader in antebacterial protection technology, Cosentino has achieved a new antibacterial Silestone. Thanks to an active element that is widely used in the manufacturing of personal care products, sanitary containers and bottles, the new antibacterial Silestone inhibits the growth of bacteria and mold, like those that produce salmonella and many others. Also, the great news of the moment is the presentation of the new Leather® texture, which is the result of a long research process. It is a special finishing with a very pleasant feeling to the touch. 30 of the different colours already available in polished finishing can be also bought now in the new satin-finish Leather® texture, exclusively in Silestone. Cosentino presents also in SICI 2005 the new four coulours of the ?River? series, also available in Leather texture. Its names are: Amazon, Mile, Missisipi and Sonora, four big rivers for four amazing new colours in Silestone.
