Microparticle Crystal ResinTechnology

Residential material guide

Microparticle Crystal Resin operates as a thermoset composite matrix with crystalline silica-alumina ceramic fillers at 35-42% volume fraction, suspended in a cross-linked epoxy-polyester hybrid binder. The particle size distribution is controlled to 8-15 μm D50 with a narrow span (D90/D10 < 2.5), enabling dense packing that achieves 2.1-2.4 g/cm³ cured density—approaching the 2.65 g/cm³ of quartz but at 60% lower weight.

This formulation represents Fadior's second-generation advancement over our 2015 first-generation coating, which utilized 25-40 μm particles at 1.6-1.8 g/cm³ and achieved only 2H pencil hardness.

Overview

How this finish changes the room mood.

The chemical architecture relies on cationic photoinitiation combined with thermal cross-linking, creating a dual-cure system that permits electrostatic spray application followed by 220°C oven curing. The microparticles themselves are surface-treated with silane coupling agents (0.8-1.2 wt% γ-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane) to ensure covalent bonding with the resin matrix rather than physical encapsulation.

This molecular integration distinguishes the material from conventional powder coatings where fillers remain discrete phases vulnerable to pull-out under stress.

Surface energy measures 28-32 mN/m (ASTM D2578), below the 38 mN/m threshold for oleophobic behavior, causing cooking oils and fingerprints to bead rather than spread. The refractive index of 1.52-1.55 creates optical depth through internal reflection at particle-resin interfaces, mimicking the appearance of polished natural stone without porosity.

Thermal conductivity of 0.8-1.2 W/m·K ensures rapid heat dissipation from the underlying 304 stainless steel substrate, preventing localized thermal stress that causes conventional coatings to craze.

Material note

Changes the room mood

This finish shifts how the stainless steel surface reads, from warmer and softer to cleaner and more reflective.

Material note

Keeps the metal base

The finish changes what you see and touch, while the stainless steel body underneath continues to carry the system.

Material note

Chosen by use, not only color

The right finish depends on light, touch frequency, maintenance expectations, and how decorative the room should feel.
