The difference of Big Quartz Stone Slab and Small Ones

Right now, there are many domestic Quartz Stone manufacturers, who can only produce the small quartz stone slabs. As we know, the size of Big Quartz Stone slab is normally 3000*1400mm, 3050*1500mm,

3200*1600mm, and the size of small Quartz Stone is 2440*760*, which made by the production line directly, excluded the ones cut to the requested size. The professional customers will be prefer to the big slabs to the small ones, then what is the difference of the big slab to the small ones.

As we know, the big quartz stone slabs is compressed by the big vibrating vacuum machine, small one is made by the small machines. Of course, the pressure of the big vibrating vacuum machine is higher than that small ones. Then the quartz stone slabs made by the big vibrating vacuum compressive machine is with better compactness than the one made by the small machines. The product with better compactness will be much more stain resistance, anti-bacterial, sauce resistance, non-penetration, acid&alkali resistance, this will guarantee the big quartz stone slabs is with better performance and long term service life. That is the main reason that professional customers is more prefer to the big quartz stone slabs. 

What need we to pay attention for Quartz Stone used for floor tile

As we know, Quartz Stone is high hardness, luxury color and appearance, which is a new kind of material using for floor tile. But many people may don’t have idea what should pay attention if use the Quartz Stone for floor tile. Today, here, we will talk some about this topic.

As Quartz Stone is with well abrasion resistance, beautiful appearance which looks like the natural stone, Quartz stone is very popularly applied for the countertops. As the production technology developing, Quartz Stone is used for the floor tile slowly and slowly. Then what should we pay attention to the Quartz Stone which used for floor tile?

1.       the thickness of the Quartz Stone should not be so thick, normally 10mm is best choice, otherwise, the Quartz Stone floor tile which deform in the future if the thickness is too thick;

2.       there is no appearance that one head is little wider than the other head. Otherwise, it will be hard when fix the Quartz Stone floor tile. To make sure the two sides head almost in same size, need to pay more attention to the size exactly when do fabrication.

3.       The diagonal should be almost even and deviation should be reasonable. Otherwise, this also will make hard for the fixing. To make sure the symmetrical diagonal, need also pay high attention to the size when fabricate.

Hope this could help you to choose the Quartz Stone floor tile.thanks.

What is may the main impurity in Quartz Stone

As the Quartz Stone is one kind of man made stone, so there may be impurity. Then what may be the main impurity for the Quartz Stone and how could we avoid there will be impurity in Quartz Stone?

1.       the mostly content of quartz stone is quartz, which is natural material. Then there should be some impurity in the quartz. So need we to inspect the quartz material and deal with it carefully, otherwise, the impurity will be mixed into the quartz stone as the raw material mixing;

2.       during the material mixing, mostly depends on manual mixing, then there may be some different kinds of quartz or other kind of material which will stick on the gloves or on the tools. So need we to pay attention to clean the gloves or tools after finishing mixing of one kind of color to another kind of color. Otherwise, the different kinds of raw material stick on the gloves or tools will be into the Quartz Stone and becomes impurity.

3.       during equidistributing the mixed material on the mould, will use the wood to fix the material in the mould, avoiding it will come out. Then there will be bits of wood into the Quartz Stone accidently. So need we to pay attention when do equidistribution. Otherwise, there will be bits of wood into the mixed material and become impurity.

Why Quartz Stone is more and more popular

As Solid Surface Sheet have been popularly applied for almost 20years in the market. However, under the new request of the countertop material, the Quartz Stone is more and more popular, then why this happen?

1). Scratch resistance:

Quartz Stone made by vacuum Vibrating compression, its hardness reaches 6~7.5 Mohs.

2). high temperature resistance, burning resistance:

The raw material for making Quartz Stone is with high melting point (the high melting point is about 1300 degrees), and after the high pressure vacuum pressing, so Quartz Stone is with high temperature resistance.

3). the real stone feeling:

Quartz Stone contains 93% the quartz crystal, so the feeling of Quartz Stone is very similar to the natural stone.

4). Stain resistant, non-penetration;

The surface of Quartz Stone is very compact, it is dense and nonporous, and its bibulous rate is almost zero; oil, butter, coffee, tea, fruit juice, such as acid and alkali substances could not penetrate, so it is extremely strong anti-pollution.

5). antibacterial:

The Quartz Stone is real solid, not only the surface, but also the internal are same dense, nonporous and seam, and it contains certain antibiotics, so could prevent the bacteria breeding, and could contact with food and skin directly.

6). no radiation, green environmental;

Quartz stone is made from natural crystallization mineral, which is one of the world's most abundant inorganic materials, its Si02 (SiO2) content reaches more than 99.9%, the content rate of radioactive elements is very rare.

7). not easy to break;

The thickness of Quartz Stone is 20mm/30mm, so it is not easy to fracture.

DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA OF THE ADVANTAGE OF THREE KINDS OF MOST POPULAR MATERIAL APPLIED FOR COUNTERTOP?

Most of the famous brands of countertop choose solid surface sheet, quartz stone, but some people say that natural stone is better. how this happen?

First, we don't make any assertions, and compare the various index of the ingredients of the three kind of materials..

Environmental protection index: natural stone<quartz stone<solid surface sheet

abrasion resistance index: natural stone>quartz stone>solid surface sheet

Color texture appearance: natural stone>quartz stone>solid surface sheet

fabricability: natural stone<quartz stone<solid surface sheet

price: natural stone<quartz stone<solid surface sheet

Hardness, abrasion resistance:

Natural stone is the most hard and abrasion resistant in the three kinds of material. Quartz stone is little less than the natural stone. Solid Surface sheet is the third of hardness and abrasion resistance in the three materials, but it is enough for normal daily use.

Appearance:

Natural stone is with natural vein and the appearance looks more beautiful. But quartz stone and solid surface sheet is with various color for choose. They are different from natural stone, just is black or white.

fabricability/ hygienic property

Solid Surface Sheet could be seamless join for any kinds of length. Solid Surface Sheet is real solid, so it is non-absorption, anti-bacterial and easy to maintain. Quartz Stone could be cut directly and it is also anti-bacterial, but it can’t be seamless join. however, there is tiny hole on the surface of natural stone, so it is to breeding bacterial. And the seam of the joint is also easy to breeding bacterial.  

Recoverability

Natural stone is good hardness, but bad flexibility, so it could be damaged if there is impact or temperature change dramastically and it can’t be repaired. Quartz stone and Solid Surface Sheet could be good flexibility, especially the Solid Surface Sheet, it could be repaired if there is some damage or scratch on the surface.

Environment protection

Comparing with Quartz Stone and Solid Surface Sheet, natural stone is radioactivity, Quartz Stone and Solid Surface Sheet is more Environment protection.

Why need to add auxiliary agent for making solid surface sheet

Maybe you will be very curious when read this title ‘why need to add auxiliary agent for making solid surface sheet’ and will ask what kind of auxiliary agent you add when make solid surface sheet. Ok, here, we will talk a little about this question.

When we produce solid surface sheet, no matter the acrylic solid surface sheet or the acrylic modified solid surface sheet, we will add some kinds of auxiliary agent to the raw material for preparing. There will be antifoaming agents, ultraviolet absorbent and so on. All these kinds of auxiliary agent will help to improve the solid surface sheet’s performance and prolong the solid surface sheet’s service life. Antifoaming agents will help to reduce the air bubble when mix the raw material and during the solid surface curing on the production line. As if there is air bubble in the mixed raw material or in the curing process, there will be many tiny or small pinprick blowhole on the surface of solid surface sheet. Then will influence the quality of the solid surface sheet. The ultraviolet absorbent will help to improve the performance of solid surface sheet’s UV resistant ability, then it will prolong the solid surface sheet’s service life. There will be no matter though the solid surface sheet expose to the sunshine sometimes, and there will be no color change or crack. Then this is that we talk about today and hope for your reference.
