The radiation hazards of counterfeit quartz stone

The real quartz stone countertop is made of natural quartz stone. It There are artificial traces on the processing technology, but it is to make it more beautiful and perfect. The price of this kitchen quartz stone countertop is relatively high, but it does not emit radiation like natural stone. On the contrary, it is a high-grade stone that is resistant to high temperature, non-toxic and non-radiation, and is beneficial to human health. Harmless. But when buying in the market, you should pay attention to some countertops of counterfeit quartz stone, which are called quartz stone by merchants, but this is quartz sand with metal added to the material, which looks texture and natural quartz stone It's almost the same, but it does a lot of harm to the human body.

The advantages of real quartz stone

In general, even if it is not carefully maintained, its countertops are still as beautiful as new after many years of use. If you have to find a shortcoming for this material, what you can imagine is that the price of quartz stone countertops is slightly higher.

How to identify true and false quartz stone countertops

Hardness: The most intuitive response to the upper and lower quartz stone content is the hardness, so When you go to see it, bring a steel key with you. You can use their sample to scratch the front and back. If there is no scratch on the quartz stone countertop, only the metal color of the key is left (you can touch it with your hand). Lubricate or not), the quality is simply passing the test.

Breath: Good quartz stones are all environmentally friendly materials, and they smell very natural stone. In the process of producing inferior quartz stone, formaldehyde-containing glue is used. The plate produced has a strong formaldehyde smell. The price of this kind of quartz stone is not cheap, and it is life-threatening!

Texture: High-quality quartz stone has a strong natural feel, which is almost the same as natural stone. This is one of the important signs of the industry's technical level. Imitation products with outdated production equipment and technology have a strong sense of plastic and resin in appearance, with heavier 'artificial' traces.

Hue style: For some products, the texture of quartz stone with backward production equipment and technology is blurred and disordered, and the color tone is not clear and clear.

Raw materials: For the types of lenses, the flash lenses are better with fine particles (more natural). The flash lenses that mimic quartz stone tend to have larger particles and are recycled glass. The raw material cost is low, so the quartz stone plate has a strong 'artificial' feeling. Most of the cheap quartz stones on the market are cast plates. In short, the method is almost the same as ordinary artificial stone. The liquid is solidified on the mold and formed in a vacuum. The equipment cost is low. Generally, artificial stone manufacturers can produce it. The density and hardness are not enough. penetration. Die-casting plates are mixed with dry powder and the raw materials used are also different. They are formed by vacuum and high pressure and have higher density and hardness.

In addition, whether the gaps between the processed edges are obvious, and the unobvious ones are good products. It clarifies the precision of the processing and also weighs the quartz A way to waste stone countertops.
