All About COPALCLEAR®: The Protective Coating on Your Marble Dining Table
As Malaysians, we've almost certainly come across marble dining tables at some point, whether it’s in kopitiams, in furniture stores, or at our grandparents’ home. And one thing we all know? Marble stains easily.
In kopitiams, it is common to see white marble tables with stains, etches and scratches as most of them are uncoated. Meanwhile, the marble dining table at our parents’ or grandparents’ homes is often covered with a waterproof sheet or mat, hiding the natural beauty of the stone in an effort to prevent stains.
While covering it up gives the owner peace of mind, it defeats the purpose of choosing a marble table to begin with since you can no longer admire its natural beauty. In other words, owners of conventional marble dining tables are forced to choose between aesthetic and practicality.
We’ve developed an innovation that puts these worries in the past. But first, let’s understand more about the coating used on conventional marble tables.

Do All Marble Dining Tables Come with a Protective Coating?
Well, not necessarily. Some marble dining tables are sold uncoated. While some customers may prefer it that way for the matte look, there is no doubt that an unsealed marble table will absorb spills easily and require immediate cleanup to prevent stains.
For tables that do come with coating, conventional marble sealants are commonly used to provide some level of protection. However, these sealants can turn yellow and wear off over time, requiring regular reapplication to maintain its stain-resistant qualities.
That’s where COPALCLEAR® comes in.

What Is COPALCLEAR® and How Is It Different?
Having been in the marble industry for 40 years, we understand the concerns of customers who adore the beauty of natural stone like marble but have second thoughts due to the upkeep necessary to keep their tables looking pristine. That’s why we developed COPALCLEAR®, a permanent protective coating engineered by our R&D team to shield every Marblelous table against stains, accidental spills, and everyday use.
So what makes COPALCLEAR® different?

So what makes COPALCLEAR® different?
- Permanent Protection: Unlike conventional sealants that can wear off over time, COPALCLEAR® offers long-lasting protection without the need for reapplication.
- Stain-Proof: Spilled coffee, rose syrup, or curry? No worries! COPALCLEAR® seals off marble’s pores, preventing liquids from seeping in and causing permanent stains, even if the spills are left for over an hour.
- FDA-Compliant: Not only is COPALCLEAR® a patented technology, it is also FDA-compliant, non-toxic, and food-safe. Your baby could eat directly off the table, and you wouldn’t have to worry about harmful chemicals leaching.
- Easy Maintenance: Using the wrong cleaning solutions can damage the surface of a marble table, but with COPALCLEAR®, all you need is to wipe with a damp cloth to keep your table spotless.
- 10-Year Warranty: We stand behind the quality of COPALCLEAR® with a 10-year warranty, so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing that your investment remains protected for years to come.

Is COPALCLEAR® Only for Marble?
Not at all! COPALCLEAR® is designed to provide long-lasting protection for a variety of natural stones, including marble, granite and quartzite, all of which are available as tabletop options at Marblelous.
Each of these stones have its own unique characteristics. While granite and quartzite are generally less porous than marble, they are still susceptible to stains if left unsealed. That’s why every table crafted by us is coated with COPALCLEAR®, so you can confidently choose the natural stone that best suits your style and requirements without worrying about complicated maintenance.
