MARMITE IS A LEADER AMONG MANUFACTURERS OF BATHROOM EQUIPMENT

Marmite is a leading European manufacturer of bathroom

equipment that brings together natural mineral materials

and sophisticated technology. Marmite owes its reputation

and strong position on the market to the high quality of its

products, which are available worldwide in the product ranges

of acknowledged manufacturers of bathroom furniture and

specialised chain stores.

The secret of the company success lies in its modern approach

to the process of product creation in which – starting from

the design stage – the customer’s expectations and suggestions

are the most valued. Thus, customers become co-creators, since the

entire manufacturing process stems from their experience and needs.

Marmite sets great store by the continuous development

of its products. That is why the company actively pursues innovation

in materials, technology and design, frequently establishing

new trends in the industry.

Everyday the basin undergoes a number of durability tests.

All members of the household use it – adults and children –

and not always for the purpose it was intended.

Such intensive usage entails a risk of depleting the original

quality of the product. Attempts at bringing the basin back

to its original impeccable state might lead to resistant stains,

scratches or defects of the surface.

To meet these demands, Marmite developed innovative

material that uniquely combines design flexibility with

durability. This is Evermite.

EVERMITE MAKES THE BASIN LOOK BRAND

NEW FOR LONGER AND GIVES THE CUSTOMER

FREEDOM IN EVERYDAY INTENSIVE USE. BASIN IN THE BATHROOM IS AN UNIQUE PIECE OF EQUIPMENT

INNOVATIVE MATERIAL THAT COMBINES DESIGN FLEXIBILITY WITH DURABILITY

Evermite was created using a modified polymer basis, which

makes basins more durable and resistant than composite

basins covered with standard gelcoats. A unique formula

of components builds a protective barrier, thus minimising

the risk of use-related defects.

Evermite’s exceptional functional qualities have been

confirmed through a series of tests carried out by independent

research laboratories and certification centres:

ITB POLAND, VTT Finland, IAPMO USA.

RESISTANCE TO ABRASION

EVERMITE IS 40% MORE RESISTANT TO ABRASION

After years of use, the surfaces of many basins have tiny

scratches caused by cleaning or being rubbed by cups,

soap dishes or beauty products. According to tests,

Evermite is 40% more resistant to abrasion than other

similar materials. This is possible thanks to the modified

polymer basis used in Evermite.

Evermite lets you enjoy a flawless surface for longer.

RISK: LITTLE SCRATCHES FROM CLEANINGOR PLACING CUPS AND ACCESSORIES

RESISTANCE TO SCRATCHES

EVERMITE IS 20% MORERESISTANT TO SCRATCHING

Evermite contains special microparticles that build up

a surface protecting the basin against accidental scratches.

The tougher material offers better resistance to defects.

Thanks to this, Evermite is 20% more resistant to scratching.

In short, Evermite marries modern design with durability.

RISK: ACCIDENTAL SCRATCHES

RESISTANCE TO GLOSS FADING

EVERMITE IS 50% MORERESISTANT TO LUSTRE FADINGDUE TO CLEANING

Thanks to Evermite, a basin retains the original qualities

of its surface for many years. Laboratory tests have

demonstrated that Evermite is 50% more resistant to lustre

fading due to cleaning. Evermite’s structure is designed to

protect against micro-defects so the basin remains as glossy

as on the day of purchase for much longer.

RISK: LOSING THE ORIGINAL LUSTRE

COFFEE, TEA, AND OTHER PRODUCTSUSED AT HOME CANNOT STAINTHE SURFACE PERMANENTLY

Evermite is characterised by a very low permeability

coefficient. As a result, the surface of the basin is perfectly

smooth, which prevents stains from becoming ingrained and

makes maintenance easier.

The material is resistant not only to marks from tea or coffee,

but also to stains from various, hard-to-clean products used

in the household, for example: lipstick, shoe polish, crayons,

ink, vegetable and fruit juice, medicines like gentian violet

or iodine. Discolouration does not leave any trace.RISK: TEA, COFFEE, LIPSTICK

If the stain is recent, a sponge and some water suffice

to remove it. If the stain has stayed on the basin for a longer

time, a sponge and some regular cleaning cream will clean

it. Proof – Evermite has been successful in strict European and

American tests (CE, ANSI and CSA) and it has passed internal

corporate stain resistance tests.

THE INFLUENCE OF DIFFICULT TO CLEANSUBSTANCES DOES NOT RESULTIN PERMANENT DISCOLOURATION

Evermite is highly resistant to tobacco stains and discolouration

from strong chemicals, including: petrol, ethanol, amyl

acetate, ammonium hydroxide, citric acid, urea, hydrogen

peroxide, sodium hypochlorite, toluene, ethyl acetate, lye,

and acetone. Evermite has successfully passed the CE, ANSI

and CSI certification tests proving its resistance to these

substances. Contact with these substances does not affect the

product’s quality.

Removing stains resulting from a lit cigarette left on an

Evermite basin is very easy – just apply some regular cleaning

cream. Such resistance to stains makes Evermite basins also

suitable for public facilities. Stains from strong chemicals can

be removed with cream cleanser. If the gloss is dimmed or if

the stain is difficult to remove, polishing the wet surface first

with P1200 waterproof sandpaper and then with some cream

cleanser will solve the problem.

EASY MAINTENANCETHANKS TO EVERMITE

RISK: SOAP, TOOTHPASTE, LIME

The unique composition of Evermite facilitates removal

of stains resulting from everyday use. The key to success?

A perfectly smooth surface and low permeability which prevent

lime and water or soap residues from settling on Evermite basins.

The smooth surface also keeps bacteria at bay, making the

bathroom a safe and friendly place. Another benefit is reduced

water use and cost of cleaning products.

Marmite’s Swedish origin is a hallmark of high quality, refined

design and respect for nature. Evermite basins outdistance

competitors’ products in their resistance to scratches, abrasion,

lustre fading, discolouration and difficult stains.

Evermite offers a unique combination of design flexibility and

durability that makes it a better alternative to porcelain across

a broad range of applications.

IS COMPLETELY SAFE FOR USERS AND ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY

Evermite is manufactured in cast marble technology.

It gives a unique possibility to repair basins in case of serious

damage. Glass bottles or other heavy bathroom appliances

if dropped might completely destroy basins from other materials.

Evermite basins will last longer with its original quality.

The repair kit delivered by manufacturer or distributor lets the final

user bring back the original state of the product in 20 minutes.

POSSIBILITY TO REPAIR THE SERIOUS DAMAGE

ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES

Thanks to its unique properties, Evermite creates a resistant

and glossy surface. We developed material that is suitable

not only for washbasins but also for bathtubs. Each of our

bathtubs brings unquestionable style and appeal to your

bathroom’s interior. Evermite gives you the confidence

that your bathtub will look like new for years.
