The difference between artificial stone and quartz stone

What is the difference between artificial stone and quartz stone? Artificial stone is different from the raw material of quartz stone. It is a mineral-filled polymer composite material which is vacuum cast or molded by natural ore powder, acrylic, high-performance resin and natural pigment. The quartz stone is about 93%. Quartz crystal particles, plus pigment, resin, glue and antibacterial agent, then made under vacuum at high temperature and high pressure. Please go and learn together with the purchase of Xiaobian.

The difference and comparison between artificial stone and quartz stone

First, let's take a look at the commonalities between artificial stone and quartz stone:

1. The color is rich with the texture of natural stone and beautiful surface gloss;

2, very environmentally friendly, non-toxic and non-radiative, can be in direct contact with food;

3, can be flame retardant, are fireproof materials;

The difference between artificial stone and quartz stone

First, the raw materials are different:

Artificial stone: is a mineral-filled polymer composite material which is vacuum cast or molded by natural ore powder, acrylic, high performance resin and natural pigment;

Quartz stone: It is made of about 93% quartz crystal particles, plus pigment, resin, glue and antibacterial agent, then vacuum high temperature and high pressure.

Second, plasticity:

Artificial stone: There are almost no design restrictions, unlimited creativity and unlimited performance.

Quartz stone: It has a high content of quartz crystal as the main structure, which makes its texture harder and tighter. It is not easy to make special shape, and its plasticity is lower than that of artificial stone.

Third, anti-staining, scratch resistance

Artificial stone: easy to produce scratches, easy to bleed, need to pay attention to maintenance when using.

Quartz stone: It has the characteristics of wear resistance, scratch resistance and anti-penetration which are unmatched by other materials.

Fourth, repairability

Artificial stone: It can be repaired by repairing, grinding and polishing after damage, prolonging the service life.

Quartz stone: Quartz stone is not as hard as artificial stone because it is too hard. Under normal circumstances, quartz stone does not need to be taken care of.

Five, heat resistance

Artificial stone: It is not heat-resistant and is not resistant to high temperature. It is recommended not to place the heated utensil directly on the surface. You can use the insulation pad.

Quartz stone: Although it is more heat resistant than ordinary materials, for long-term use, it is recommended not to place the hot utensil directly on the surface, and use a heat insulation mat.

Sixth, the price

The price of quartz stone countertops is more expensive than the price of artificial stone countertops.
