This development has become even more pronounced with the global rise of epidemics caused by viruses and bacteria that find refuge in porous solid surface materials that absorb water.

                    [Summary] => 

A Philippine-made solid surface material has captured new markets in Europe,
United States and China.

Called Abient, these synthetic products look like real marbles and granites but
are more durable and glossier. These are now being exported to those countries,
aside from Japan, Canada and other parts of Asia.

Abient is used as kitchen countertops, wash basins, bathroom lavatories, wall
panels, and food, bar and reception counters in prestigious buildings, homes
and various establishments.

The product is being manufactured at a 1,200-sq.ft.
