Artificial quartz stone is composed of more than 90% natural quartz and about 10% colorant, resin and other additives to adjust adhesion, curing and the like. It is a plate that has been subjected to vacuum vacuum, high-frequency vibration molding, and temperature curing (temperature is a production method according to the type of curing agent. Its texture is hard (Mohs hardness 5-7), structure is dense (density 2.5g/cm3) has the characteristics of wear resistance, pressure resistance, high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance and penetration resistance which are unmatched by other decorative materials.
According to industry analysts, artificial marble is usually made of natural marble or granite gravel. It is made of cement, gypsum and unsaturated polyester resin. It is made by mixing, grinding and polishing. There are many characteristics of natural marble, such as artificial marble, because of the artificial adjustment, so the color is more, the flexibility is better, the connection process is not obvious, the overall feeling is very strong, and it is colorful, with ceramic luster, high hardness and not easy to damage. It is corrosion resistant, high temperature resistant and very easy to clean. But there is also a big drawback, which has significant damage to the human body.
There are usually four kinds of artificial marbles commonly found on the market: cement type artificial marble, polyester type artificial marble, composite type artificial marble, and sintered artificial marble.
The most widely used artificial stone is the countertops such as cabinets and service desks, and a few are used for decorative parts such as the wall. Because of its high material density and high toughness, if the pollution resistance project does not meet the requirements and the surface stain is not handled well, it is easy to infiltrate the stain. This is also the place where consumers are concerned about artificial stone. The development of domestic star-rated hotels has brought a lot of architectural decoration needs. In the next five years, Asia needs to build 1,200 star-rated hotels, of which China accounts for more than 800. The development prospects of China's public construction market are huge. The more mature quartz stone market in the world is Australia, the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, France, Germany and other countries. Among them, Australia's annual consumption of quartz stone accounts for 35% of the world, followed by the United States 22% and Canada 14%. In addition to mature regions such as Europe and the United States, the quartz stone market in the Middle East, Southeast Asia, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea and other regions has grown significantly. In the cabinet industry, quartz stone is becoming a new alternative. On the other hand, the structure of the application scope of foreign quartz stone has changed, and the proportion of floor decoration has increased significantly. This should be a potential trend.
