Does the artificial quartz stone have radiation? Is the artificial quartz stone countertop good?

Artificial quartz stone is a commonly used material for countertops. However, there are many circulated theories saying that artificial quartz stone is radiant. In fact, it is not the case. It is just that some inferior quartz stones are caused by radiation. That's all. Quartz stone is still a relatively good choice for countertops.

Features of quartz stone

1. Quartz stone countertops refer to cabinet countertops made of quartz stone. Quartz stone is a new type of stone artificially synthesized by more than 90% of quartz crystals plus resin and other trace elements. Its main material is quartz, which is another affordable and durable countertop material following artificial stone.

2. The quartz content of quartz stone countertops is as high as 93%. Quartz crystal is a natural mineral whose hardness is second only to diamond in nature. Its surface hardness can be as high as 7.5 on the Mohs hardness, which is much greater than that used in the kitchen. Sharp tools such as knives and shovel will not be scratched.

3. The shiny and bright surface of the quartz stone countertops has undergone more than 30 complex polishing processes, which will not be scratched by a knife, will not penetrate into liquid substances, and will not produce yellowing and discoloration. For other problems, the daily cleaning of quartz stone countertops only needs to be rinsed with water, which is simple and easy. Even after a long period of use, its surface is as bright as a newly installed countertop, without maintenance and maintenance.

4. Due to the characteristics of its own material, quartz stone determines its high temperature resistance. The temperature below 300 degrees Celsius will not cause any damage to it. Influence, that is, no deformation and fracture will occur; because the stone contains a large amount of resin, it is particularly prone to deformation and scorching at high temperatures.

5. Because of the high hardness of quartz stone, complex shapes cannot be made.

Does the artificial quartz stone have radiation?

The surface of the quartz stone is smooth, flat and without scratches, compact and non-porous The material structure makes bacteria have no place to hide and can come into direct contact with food, which is safe and non-toxic.

The high-quality quartz stone adopts carefully selected natural quartz crystal minerals, and its SiO2 content exceeds 99.9%. It is impurity-removed and purified during the manufacturing process. The raw materials do not contain any heavy metal impurities that may cause radiation. 94% of quartz crystals and other resin additives make the quartz stone free from the risk of radiation pollution.

Here we have already understood the advantages and disadvantages of quartz stone. Among the advantages of quartz stone, it was mentioned that quartz stone cabinet countertops are non-toxic and non-radiative. This answers the concerns of some consumers. Radiation problem of quartz stone countertops.

However, although the quartz stone currently on the market is mainly due to its excellent properties such as high hardness, corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance, and non-bleeding, it has become the most ideal cabinet countertop material, and it has attracted many people in the industry and consumers. It is highly praised by the author, but looking at the domestic quartz stone market, there are many inferior products in the quartz stone market, and they will be radiant. For example, quartz stone is a non-radiation product and has no adverse effects on the body; while granite is made of natural marble powder, so there may be radiation, which may cause adverse effects on the body.

Finally, I want to tell you a more practical way to identify the quality of quartz stone: inferior quartz stone has poor anti-fouling performance, soy sauce, vinegar, etc. Quartz stone countertops may penetrate into the countertops within a day and are difficult to clean. When buying a countertop, a water-based pen leaves scratches on the quartz stone. The high-quality quartz stone can be restored to its new brightness with a single wipe with a rag, leaving no trace at all.
