Moca Creme is a light beige colored limestone, which is characterized by its refined parallel vein, medium grain and uniform background.
- Compression breaking load 850 kg/cm2
- Compression breaking load after freezing test 820 kg/cm2
- Bending strength 99 kg/cm2
- Volumetric weight 2430 kg/m3
- Water absorption at N.P. conditions 3.6 %
- Apparent porosity 8.5 %
- Thermal linear expansion coefficient max. val. 4.5 x 10 -6 perº C
- Abrasion test 4.5 mm
- Impact test: minimum fall height 40 cm
Obs. The physical-mechanical characteristics described concern the most common Moca Creme variety. For harder varieties, a 50 % compressive and flexural strength increase seldom occurs, as well as water absorption and porosity decrease and an increase of abrasion resistance.
Frost resistance is 48 freeze-thawing cycles.
