Man-made stone is made of modern high-tech synthetic stone materials, including resin artificial stone and other types of artificial stone. Artificial marble is a very good material in the building materials market. It can be carved into art works, stationery, lamps, utensils and other practical artworks, and is deeply loved by consumers. Stones are also common in buildings, but there are many doubts and knowledge to understand before purchasing artificial marble. How many types of artificial marble are there? Here's an introduction to artificial marble varieties by Xiao Bian!
First, the type of man-made stone
(1) Materials used for production
Artificial marble is divided into cement-based artificial marble, resin-based artificial marble, composite artificial marble, and sintered artificial marble.
Among the four methods for producing artificial marble, the most commonly used is polyester type artificial marble, which has the best physical and chemical properties. The design of the pattern is easy and reproducible. It is suitable for a variety of uses, but the price is definitely higher. The price of artificial marble is the lowest, but the corrosion resistance is poor. It is prone to microcracks and is suitable as a plate and not suitable for sanitary ware. The composite type combines the strengths of the former two. Both the good physical and chemical properties, the cost is lower; Sintered artificial marble, of course, only use clay as an adhesive, but the need for high-temperature roasting, so energy consumption, high cost, and high product damage.
(2) Classified by product name:
1. Jacquard Stone: a chemical resin synthetic material, clean, used for kitchen countertops, easy to mold, waterproof, no color, but easy to scratch.
2. Synthetic stone: Made of marble powder and resin, the texture is strong.
3, microcrystalline stone: the main components similar to glass products, nominal smooth, magnificent colors, hard texture, mainly for the laying of the ground, but because of the texture is not easy to re-processing, and high prices.
4, terrazzo: but poor corrosion resistance, easy to emerge micro cracking, suitable for the plate and not suitable for sanitary ware
Second, the characteristics of man-made stone
(1) Rich colors, everything. A solid color, such as: white, yellow, black, red and so on. There is also hemp color, based on the net swatch, add different colors, different sizes of particles, to create a variety of colorful effects. There are so many different types of choices.
(2) No radioactive contamination. The artificial stone material undergoes strict screening without radioactive material, and consumers can feel comfortable using it.
(3) Moderate hardness and toughness. Natural stone hardness, brittle, intolerant of impact, easy to crush, impact resistance is better than natural stone.
(4) Convenient processing and production. Artificial stone hardness and toughness have been adjusted to a certain extent. The rooms can be treated like hardwoods. All woodworking tools and mechanical equipment can be used to make artificial stone, and can be bonded (using special glue, all kinds of countertops can be seamlessly connected), can be bent, can Processed into a variety of shapes, this is unmatched by natural stone.
(5) Dense structure, cleanliness, there is a natural microporous natural stone, in the countertops of cabinets, vegetable soup and other nutrients can easily infiltrate it, breed bacteria; artificial stone structure is dense, no microporous, liquid material can not Infiltration, bacteria can not grow in it, so some businesses to artificial stone fried as "antibacterial stone" also makes sense.
Third, the most common four:
1. Cement type artificial marble
This type of artificial marble is a variety of cement as a coagulant, sand as a fine bone material, broken marble, granite, industrial waste, etc. as coarse bone material, after mixing, stirring, molding, pressure steam curing, Polished, polished and made, as the saying goes, terrazzo.
2. Polyester type artificial marble
This artificial marble is made of unsaturated polyester as a coagulant, mixed with crushed marble, quartz sand, cristobalite, etc., and then cast and molded to form a coagulation effect under the action of a curing agent. After drying, demoulding. , polishing and other processes.
3, composite artificial marble
This artificial marble is composed of organic polymer materials and inorganic materials. After the filler is coagulated with an inorganic material, the body is then immersed in an organic monomer and allowed to polymerize under specific conditions. As for the sheet, the inorganic material with low cost and stable performance is used as the bottom layer, and the surface layer is made of a quality plastic material such as polyester and marble powder.
4, sintered artificial marble
This artificial marble is prepared by mixing quartz stone, feldspar, hectorite, cristobalite, iron ore fines, and a small amount of kaolin powder, and prepares the blank by stirring the mud, and compresses the mixture by semi-dry pressing. The furnace is shaped with a high temperature of around 1000°C.
Among the above four kinds of artificial marble decorative plates, the polyester type is the most commonly used, and its physical and chemical properties are the best. The design of the patterns is relatively good. It has re-plasticity and is suitable for a variety of building materials, but the price is relatively high; the cement type is quite cheap. , However, the corrosion resistance and anti-aging properties are poor and micro-cracks easily occur. Therefore, it is only suitable for use as a plate. The other two kinds of production processes are complex and have very few applications.
Editor's summary: Information on the variety of artificial marble is presented here for everyone. I hope this article will be helpful to everyone. If you still have something you don't understand, you can leave a message to Xiaobian at the bottom. We will answer your questions as soon as possible.
