  [How about quartz countertops]

  Quartz countertops are a new-tech artificial stone synthesized from fine slabs. Its colors are diverse and have the texture and luster of natural stone. . Quartz stone is a non-radioactive, reusable, environmentally friendly and green new building interior decoration material, so it is widely used in kitchen countertops, washstands, kitchen and bathroom walls, dining tables, coffee tables, window sills, door covers and other fields.

   The shiny and bright surface of the quartz stone has undergone more than 30 complex polishing processes. Even after a long period of use, the surface is as bright as the newly installed countertop. The real quartz stone countertop has the characteristics of high hardness, strong corrosion resistance, and high temperature resistance. Even if you use sharp tools such as a knife and shovel, the surface will not be scratched. It also has excellent corrosion resistance to acid and alkali in the kitchen, and also has high temperature resistance that other countertops such as artificial stone can't match.

  [Advantages and Disadvantages of Quartz Stone Countertops]

   Advantages of Quartz Stone Countertops One

   Some materials made into cabinets will be easily Quartz stone countertops will not be scratched like this. The hardness of the quartz stone is as high as 7.5 by the compression of the vacuum. Everyone knows that the highest hardness is ten, so the quartz stone will not be easily scratched. The raw material of quartz stone is a material with a higher melting point, so quartz stone can withstand high temperatures. Although it is not a natural stone, after a special process, the quartz stone also feels like a real stone.

The second advantage of   quartz stone countertops

   has gone through multiple processes, and the harmful substances in it have already been cleared. The cabinets made can be operated with food materials on them. The pigments of quartz stone are mainly mineral pigments, which are the same as natural stone, and they also have the problem of not discoloring easily and not fading. Some countertops will be broken, but quartz stone will not, because of its high elasticity, it will not be easily broken. Daily maintenance is also very simple and convenient, and it can be done with ordinary detergents.

  Quartz stone countertop advantage three

  Many decoration materials people will choose very carefully, such as wood will consider whether there is formaldehyde, while stone needs to be considered Is it necessary to do radiation pollution testing? One of the most prominent advantages of quartz stone countertops is that it is safe and non-toxic. It is a very environmentally friendly stone and does not contain any mineral impurities that can cause radiation pollution. People can be bold Feel free to use quartz stone materials to make kitchen countertops. Of course, in addition to its excellent performance in environmental protection, it is also very well done in terms of antibacterial properties. The dense and non-porous structure of the quartz stone countertop allows tiny kitchen bacteria to hide.

  Disadvantages of quartz stone countertops

   There are not many disadvantages of quartz stone. The first advantage mentioned is that its hardness is very large. So-called everything has two sides, so The high hardness causes the disadvantage of difficult processing of quartz stone. Another is that if the quartz stone is damaged by strong external pressure, it is not easy to repair it. One of the biggest shortcomings is that under the premise of better cost performance, then his price is naturally not low. And his product is relatively single.

  [The hazards of inferior quartz stone countertops]

  1. The hazards of inferior quartz stone: not abrasion-resistant and easy to generate powder to cause respiratory diseases

   Some illegal merchants use inferior plates that contain excessive bubbles, weak penetration resistance, and insufficient hardness when processing quartz stone. The produced quartz stone is easy to break, not wear-resistant, and easy to drop powder. In long-term use, people may inhale too much powder and cause respiratory diseases.

  2. The hazards of low-quality quartz stone: long-term volatilization of residual formaldehyde may cause cancer

   Some unscrupulous merchants add formaldehyde-containing glue to act as a solvent in order to reduce costs. Excess formaldehyde will remain, and a strong smell of formaldehyde will be volatilized uninterruptedly within 3 to 5 years. The indoor air is not circulating or the temperature is too high, which will accelerate the volatilization of such toxic substances. Long-term exposure is extremely likely to cause cancer.

  3. The hazards of low-quality quartz stone: organic solvents and heavy metals harm the digestive system

   some illegal businesses use heavy metals such as lead or cadmium in the production process The inferior inorganic pigments are directly added to organic solvents. After these low-quality quartz stone plates enter the home, they will directly enter the digestive system through heavy metals and other harmful substances, using food as a carrier, and endanger human health.

   Warm reminder: The chemical composition of quartz stone is silicon dioxide (SiO2), which is divided into piezoelectric quartz, optical quartz, smelted quartz and polished quartz according to its use. There are no radioactive elements in SiO2, and there will be no radiation hazards. Radiation is not necessarily produced by radioactive elements, but electrons must migrate from a high-energy trajectory to a low-energy trajectory. Therefore, quartz stone has no radioactive hazard. The surface of the quartz stone is smooth, flat and no scratches are retained. The dense and non-porous material structure allows bacteria nowhere to hide, and it can be in direct contact with food, safe and non-toxic!
