A UV-resistant product is designed to absorb, block, or dissipate this energy so the surface doesn’t degrade over time.

Etching is a form of chemical damage to a surface — not dirt, not a stain, and not something sitting on the material. It’s when a substance reacts with the surface itself and permanently changes it.

Stone staining happens when a liquid or substance penetrates into the pores of the stone and leaves behind discoloration.

Coating does not transfer harmful substances into food during normal contact.
