Versatile, Chemically Resistant Materials

A traditional use of Soapstone was the laboratory table top in chemistry labs. That application alone should serve as a great testimonial to the chemical resistance of the materials. Being one of the softer stone types, abrasion or scratch resistance is not high, yet soapstone is used for flooring and countertop products.

Soapstone is highly heat resistant, and has been used in fireplace surrounds frequently to take advantage of this property.
