Puro is the new antibacterial technology for ceramic surfaces, developed to eliminate up to 99.9% of bacteria and other harmful microorganisms, rapidly and effectively combating their proliferation and pre-venting the formation of stains and unpleasant odours. The antibacterial action, tested in accordance with the strictest international standards, is guaranteed by an advanced and exclusive silver ion treatment that is incorporated into the ceramic material during the production process and ensures active and permanent protection on surfaces in any light condition, including in the absence of UV rays.

StepWise is a new production process used to create products with a high level of slip resistance and a surface that is soft to the touch and easy to clean, since it has no superficial roughness. Working on all industrial stages, from research on raw materials and glazes to the type of grinding, pressing and firing, StepWise represents an intrinsic characteristic of the product that remains unchanged over time.

BodyPlus is an evolution of research on raw materials that results in a change of consistency in the body mixes and more uniform compositions, including in cross-section of the stoneware produced with digital technology, guaranteeing naturalness and aesthetic appeal in the most restrictive specifications. BodyPlus stoneware tiles are produced by pressing mixtures of naturally coloured raw materials with the inclusion of micro-pebbles, grits and chips that match the colour and structure of the product’s surface.

The High-Performance production processes characterize porcelain stoneware products intended for high-stress vertical surfaces and high-traffic horizontal surfaces. Made with exclusive technologies, High Performance ceramic tiles are extraordinarily performing from a technical point of view and meet both the strictest international regulatory standards and the specifications with a high technical content.

Sublime Sync is a new production technology that combines high-definition digital printing and material structure. The use of latest-generation optical sensors allows textures to be precisely read, associating them with multiple graphic patterns and glazes with varying degrees of gloss or opacity. Thanks to this technology, the design perfectly integrates with the material texture, achieving an unprecedented depth and precision on both natural and structured surfaces.

Zero Glossy is the latest frontier in colour research by the Marazzi laboratories, which have developed a series of glazes with a range of very low reflections equivalent to those of light on natural and mineral surfaces. The Zero Glossy finish makes it possible to obtain super-matt or extra-matt surfaces, one of the most enduring trends in interior design, which perfectly meet the most demanding performance specifications.

3D Ink Technology is the latest evolution of the digital technologies applied to porcelain stoneware perfected in the Marazzi labs. Perfectly matching 3D structures and patterns, different in every single piece, give surfaces volume and textural realism thanks to an advanced system that combines optical recognition and precision printing for a unique texture and design.

The new Touch technology developed in the Marazzi labs is a major evolution in digital printing: decors created by the inkjet method are enhanced by adding glossy and matt vitreous grits, which give the surface depth and a high degree of tactile realism. Surfaces produced using the Touch technology are particularly hard-wearing and easy to clean, making them suitable even for the shower area.
