Sascab is added to the mixture as stone powder and serves as a structural element of the polymer concrete. However, beyond its technical function, at TDP we believe that the Sascab is an element of identity in the products that contain it, granting each piece a characteristic appearance that talks about the Mayan region and culture.
The Sascab products have the advantage of not requiring the application of an extra finish such as paint or coatings for their protection, exposing the particles of crushed rock, with their slight variations in size and color. Thanks to this, the products have a natural stone appereance, pleasing to sight and touch.
The finish of the Sascab products is achieved in a final stage of inspection and hand craft work. Once the piece leaves the molds, it passes through different hands, which are responsible for detailing each part of it and giving the final smooth polished finish.
