1 DESIGN MEETS DURABILITY

2 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 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. of acknowledged manufacturers of bathroom furniture and specialised chain stores. 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. 3

3 BASIN IN THE BATHROOM IS AN UNIQUE PIECE OF EQUIPMENT 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. EVERMITE MAKES THE BASIN LOOK BRAND NEW FOR LONGER AND GIVES THE CUSTOMER FREEDOM IN EVERYDAY INTENSIVE USE. To meet these demands, Marmite developed innovative material that uniquely combines design flexibility with durability. This is Evermite. 5

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

4 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. 7

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

5 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 CLEANING OR PLACING CUPS AND ACCESSORIES 9

RESISTANCE TO SCRATCHES EVERMITE IS 20% MORE RESISTANT TO SCRATCHING Evermite contains special microparticles that build up a surface protecting the basin against accidental scratches.

6 RESISTANCE TO SCRATCHES EVERMITE IS 20% MORE RESISTANT 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 11

RESISTANCE TO GLOSS FADING EVERMITE IS 50% MORE RESISTANT TO LUSTRE FADING DUE TO CLEANING Thanks to Evermite, a basin retains the original qualities of its surface for many years.

7 RESISTANCE TO GLOSS FADING EVERMITE IS 50% MORE RESISTANT TO LUSTRE FADING DUE 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 13

RESISTANCE TO DISCOLOURATION FROM COFFEE AND TEA COFFEE, TEA, AND OTHER PRODUCTS USED AT HOME CANNOT STAIN THE SURFACE PERMANENTLY Evermite is characterised by a very low permeability coefficient.

8 RESISTANCE TO DISCOLOURATION FROM COFFEE AND TEA COFFEE, TEA, AND OTHER PRODUCTS USED AT HOME CANNOT STAIN THE 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 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. RISK: TEA, COFFEE, LIPSTICK or iodine. Discolouration does not leave any trace. 15

RESISTANCE TO DISCOLOURATION FROM TOBACCO THE INFLUENCE OF DIFFICULT TO CLEAN SUBSTANCES DOES NOT RESULT IN PERMANENT DISCOLOURATION Evermite is highly resistant to tobacco stains and discolouration

9 RESISTANCE TO DISCOLOURATION FROM TOBACCO THE INFLUENCE OF DIFFICULT TO CLEAN SUBSTANCES DOES NOT RESULT IN 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. RISK: TOBACCO OR STRONG CHEMICALS 17

10 EASY MAINTENANCE THANKS TO EVERMITE THE UNIQUE COMPOSITION OF EVERMITE FACILITATES REMOVAL OF STAINS RESULTING FROM USE 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. RISK: SOAP, TOOTHPASTE, LIME 19

11 IS COMPLETELY SAFE FOR USERS AND ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY 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. 21

12 POSSIBILITY TO REPAIR THE SERIOUS DAMAGE 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.
