Typical physical properties and production options for Rainbow and Beige sandstone. Final values may vary by quarry selection and production batch.
Typical specifications
| Specification | Typical range / available options |
|---|---|
| Water Absorption | 0.4%–0.8% |
| Compressive Strength | 800–1200 kg/cm² |
| Flexural Strength (Modulus of Rupture) | 130–180 kg/cm² |
| Density / Specific Gravity | 2.2–2.6 g/cm³ |
| Porosity | 3%–8% |
| Abrasion Resistance | Moderate to good |
