Aquatica True Ofuro Mini Bathtub Withstands Fire and Harsh Weather Conditions

One of Aquatica’s popular bathtubs was recently put to the test after a bathhouse in the Latvian countryside went on fire. The bathtub remains in remarkable condition, despite the fire and staying outside in harsh weather conditions for six months, under direct sunlight, wind, rain, frost and hailstones. The bathtub still has a pearly white color without yellowing. All it needs is a quick easy clean with a Scotch-Brite pad and it will look brand new again.

Aquatica’s True Ofuro Mini Japanese soaking tub appeared practically untouched by the fire and weather conditions thanks to our award-winning material AquateX™ . We substantially invested in research and development to invent an outstanding and sustainable material using only the best qualities available in the bathroom range. This recent accident demonstrates the materials true durability, fire and weather-resistant features. Bathtubs made of AquateX are a smart long-term investment choice, as they are easy to clean, can survive almost any conditions and will last a lifetime.

This technologically advanced solid surface composite material won the title of “The Best Innovative Material of the Year” in 2016 at the UK Kitchen & Bathroom Awards. The judges were impressed by its hypoallergenic, non-toxic, 100% recyclable, durable, and fire-resistant properties. The material is also extremely hygienic, watertight and strongly resistant to UV radiation.

Our AquateX™ solid surfaces are manufactured using a proprietary formula composed of polymer resin and filled with aluminum hydroxide and other specialized additives. The strength of AquateX™ comes from the acrylic and polyester resins, while aluminum hydroxide gives AquateX™ its chemical, stain, and fire-resistant properties.
