Among many decorative materials, stone has excellent decorativeness due to its rich surface color and natural and harmonious texture. The use of stone as a decorative material in interior decoration can give people a sense of harmony, elegance, solemnity, nobility, luxury and other beauty. As people pay more and more attention to environmental protection decoration, non-toxic, radiation-free and formaldehyde-free green and environmentally friendly quartz stone has been developed rapidly. Quartz stone is also called synthetic stone and artificial stone. Because the content of quartz in the plate is as high as 93%, Therefore, quartz stone manufacturers call it "quartz stone". Many people buy the granite by mistake in the purchase. Why is the granite false and real quartz stone? Let's learn about it together.
Quartz stone is an artificial stone die-casting plate. The plate is filled with 93% quartz and 7% resin. The filler sand used is free of harmful objects and radiation sources after removing impurities. It is called indoor green environmental protection decorative stone, so the price of quartz stone is much higher than other stones. Granite, also known as engineering stone, is also a type of artificial stone, and its appearance is similar to artificial quartz stone. However, the filling material of the granite is natural crushed stone, that is, the stone crushed material is reused, and it is used in outdoor engineering decoration, and the price is relatively cheap.
How to distinguish two kinds of stone that are so similar? Although quartz stone and granite are both artificial stone die-casting plates, the pressure and production equipment of the press are still different. First look at their specific gravity. Quartz has a higher density than other stone materials, so sample granites of the same size are much lighter. Observing from the side, the quartz stone is uniformly distributed by artificial cloth particles, which is consistent inside and outside. Finally, look at their hardness. The hardness of quartz is second only to that of diamond, and its hardness is as high as 7.5 on the Mohs scale, so there is no way for general ironware to scratch it. The most important thing is that Mo Yan wants to be cheap, and one price and one price is the same law since ancient times.
