What is the difference between quartz stone and artificial granite?

Quartz stone is made of 94% quartz and 6% resin, the hardness reaches 7 degrees, granite is synthesized from resin and marble powder, so the hardness is generally 4-6 degrees, in layman's terms, the hardness of quartz stone is higher than that of granite, and it is scratch-resistant and wear-resistant. Quartz stone can be reused, because the material of quartz stone is evenly distributed, that is, after the surface is damaged by collision, the front and back sides can achieve the same effect as the original after simple polishing, which greatly reduces the maintenance costs and costs. Granite is not reusable because its front is specially crafted and cannot be used once damaged.

The difference between artificial granite and quartz stone.

1. Quartz stone.

Quartz is a new technology artificial stone made from fine stone, and its manufacturing process is produced through a state-of-the-art and patented bretonestone system. The product is made up of more than 90% natural quartz or granite, combined with an ultra-high-performance resin and a special pigment.

Its main material is quartz, quartz stone is radiation-free and has high hardness, which creates a quartz countertop that is not scratched (Mohs hardness 7) and stained (vacuum manufacturing. Dense and non-porous), not burned (quartz material. It can withstand temperature of 1300 meters), not old (30 polishing processes without maintenance), non-toxic and non-radiation (NSF certification, no heavy metals, direct contact with food).

Quartz countertops are diverse in color, Gobi series, crystal series, granite series, and shining star series are more distinctive, which can be widely used in public buildings (hotels, restaurants, banks, hospitals, exhibitions, laboratories, etc.) and home decoration (kitchen countertops, washstands, kitchen and bathroom walls, dining tables, coffee tables, window sills, door covers, etc.) in the field, which is a non-radioactive pollution, reusable environmental protection, green new building interior decoration materials.

2. Artificial granite.

Artificial granite is made of unsaturated polyester resin as the binder, which is made of marble silt sand or granite fragments bonded with a binder. Ordinary granite, also known as artificial marble. There are two ways to produce it:

There are pros and cons to tablet production and block production. The former is superior in diagonals and flatness, while the latter is better in color uniformity and can also be used for special-shaped processing, such as cylindrical processing. At present, there are many granite production methods in the form of blocks on the market.

Product features: Most of the granite uses organic pigments of different colors, which are not resistant to sunlight, water vapor, acid and alkali, etc., and are easy to fade or even discolor. Most of the granite has a high glue content, on the one hand, the texture of the stone is not strong, the decoration effect can not be graded, on the other hand, the glue thermal expansion and contraction range is large, the product is easy to deform and warp, the service life is short, and the glue generally contains volatile toxic gases, which are harmful to the human body.

Due to the process reasons, granite has a lot of pores, poor impact resistance of the product, and is easy to seepage and color, poor anti-lesion ability, its gloss is false, easy to be worn out, and not durable. Granite made of marble powder is not acid-resistant, because its main component is caCO3, which reacts easily with acid and decomposes; The hardness of marble powder and binder is very low, so the hardness of granite is also very low, generally less than 3 on the Mohs scale, so it is not wear-resistant, scratch-resistant, and easy to scratch. The first generation of granite was more or less radioactive due to the composition of marble and granite.

Artificial granite is mainly used for interior walls and grounds, and the physical properties are lower than those of natural stone and quartz stone in the process of use, and when used on the ground, it is easy to produce bulging, discoloration, scratches and other phenomena, and it is extremely difficult to clean after long-term use. In terms of surface gloss, there is also a large gap with natural stone.

The difference between granite and quartz stone lies in the production process, practicality, quality and aesthetics.

Granite is made of unsaturated polyester resin as binder, with a variety of inorganic powders, through casting, vacuum and other methods of molding and solidification, quartz stone is made of more than 93% quartz sand and unsaturated polyester resin and other binders, through vacuum high pressure and high vibration, kiln heating and curing. Granite splicing is seamless and has good toughness, but the hardness, load-bearing deformation and scratch resistance of hard objects are worse than quartz stone, and it is not resistant to high temperatures, and quartz stone is difficult to splice seamlessly. And from the ** point of view, quartz stone is generally more expensive than granite, and quartz stone is slightly inferior in appearance.

Artificial granite is actually made of unsaturated polyester resin as a binder, and then made of marble silt sand or granite fragments bonded with a binder. Artificial granite is mainly used for interior walls, ground, in the process of use of physical properties will be lower than natural stone and quartz stone, when used on the ground will be easy to produce bulging, color and scratches and other phenomena, long-term use after cleaning will be extremely difficult. The gloss of its surface will also be far from that of natural stone.

At the same time, the use of artificial granite has been extended to home decoration, public buildings, cabinet countertops, reception counters, washstands, business counters, door covers, coffee tables, stair handrails, hospitals, laboratory workbenches and other fields, the use can be said to be very extensive.

The difference lies in the production process, practicality, aesthetics and aesthetics.

1. The production process is different.

Granite is made of unsaturated polyester resin as binder, with a variety of inorganic powders, and is formed and solidified by casting, vacuum and other methods.

Quartz stone is made of more than 93% quartz sand, unsaturated polyester resin and other binders, which are cured by vacuum, high vibration, high vibration, and kiln heating.

2. The hardness is different.

Quartz is made of 94% quartz and 6% resin, and has a hardness of 7 degrees.

Granite is synthesized from marble powder and resin, so the hardness is generally 4-6 degrees.

3. The performance is different.

The granite splicing is seamless, with good toughness, but it is not resistant to high temperature, and the load-bearing deformation and scratch resistance to hard objects are poor.

Quartz stone is difficult to splice seamlessly, with high temperature resistance, load-bearing deformation and hard scratch resistance.

1. Different in natureQuartz is made of 94% quartz and 6% resin, and has a hardness of 7 degrees. Granite is synthesized from marble powder and resin, and the hardness is generally 4 6 degrees, so quartz stone is harder than granite, and it is more scratch-resistant and wear-resistant.

2. Different uses:Quartz can be reused, and its internal materials are evenly distributed, which is basically the same on both the front and back sides. Even if the surface of the quartz stone is severely damaged by collision, it can achieve the same effect as the original front after simple polishing and sanding.

Granite cannot be reused, and once its front is damaged, it cannot be used again.

3. The characteristics are different: Quartz stone is resistant to high temperatures, and temperatures below 300 degrees Celsius will not have any effect on it, and will not deform and break. Due to the large amount of resin contained in granite, it is easy to deform and scorch at high temperatures.

Precautions for the use of quartz.

The surface of the panel is generally not burned by high temperatures, but it is necessary to avoid prolonged local heating of the countertop. Do not put hot household utensils directly on the countertop to dissipate heat, it is recommended to use a potmat with good thermal insulation to protect your countertop, otherwise it is easy to cause the countertop to crack.

Do not cut large bones, impact heavy objects or stand on the countertop, especially in weak parts such as stoves and basins. Although the quartz countertop has a certain hardness and support, it cannot withstand this impact and gravity, which will cause the countertop to break.

Very good difference. Granite contains dark minerals such as hornblende and biotite, so if you look closely, you can see that there are black crystals in the stone, and granite is gray from a distance; Quartz is a translucent, light-colored crystal that contains no dark minerals and is very light in color, translucent to white.

The difference between granite and quartz stone is the difference in hardness, the difference in repeated use, the difference in heat resistance, and the difference in die-casting production methods, quartz stone is composed of 94% quartz and 6% resin, and the hardness reaches 7 degrees, and the granite is synthesized from marble powder and resin, so the hardness is generally 4-6 degrees. Quartz stone can be reused, granite can not be reused, and quartz stone has better heat resistance.

1. Hardness difference.

Quartz stone is composed of 94% quartz and 6% resin, the hardness reaches 7 degrees, granite is synthesized from marble powder and resin, so the hardness is generally 4-6 degrees, in simple terms, quartz stone is harder than granite, more resistant to scratches and wear.

2. The difference in repeated use.

Quartz's internal material is evenly distributed, so the surface and back are roughly the same. In other words, after the surface is severely damaged by collision, the surface and back side can be simply ground and ground to achieve the same effect as the original surface. This significantly reduces maintenance fees and costs.

The granite cannot be reused, the positive effect is specially made, and once it is broken, it cannot be reused. To put it simply, quartz stone is not easy to break, and granite is easy to break.

3. Difference in heat resistance.

Quartz stone is determined to withstand high temperatures according to the characteristics of its own material, and temperatures below 300 have no effect on it, that is, it will not be deformed and broken. Granite contains a lot of resin, so it is particularly prone to deformation and scorching at high temperatures.

4. Difference in die-casting production methods.

Quartz stone is integrally die-casting, and granite is cut and used after die-casting.

Summary. Artificial quartz stone and granite are two different materials with the following differences: 1

Material**: Artificial quartz stone is a synthetic material, the main components of which are natural quartz sand and resin, which are processed by high temperature and high pressure; Granite, on the other hand, is a natural igneous rock that is formed due to the cooling and solidification of magma within the earth's crust. 2.

Appearance: The appearance of artificial quartz stone is usually very uniform, and the color and texture can be adjusted and designed as needed, so it has a rich and diverse appearance effect; The appearance of granite depends on its composition and formation process, and often has a natural texture and color variation. 3.

Physical properties: Artificial quartz stone usually has high hardness and wear resistance, and also has the characteristics of waterproof, anti-fouling, antibacterial, etc.; Granite, on the other hand, has natural hardness and abrasion resistance, but may not be as abrasion resistant as artificial quartz stone. 4.

Scope of use: Artificial quartz stone is usually used in interior decoration, such as kitchen countertops, wash basins, bathroom walls, etc.; Granite is often used for indoor and outdoor ground, walls, steps and other architectural decoration and garden landscapes. 5.

**: The production process of artificial quartz stone is relatively complex, so it is usually higher;

Can you add, I don't quite understand it.

The granite is a rough material in Tiandong, and the price of eggplant is relatively low. It should be noted that the above differences are only general descriptions, and there may be differences in specific products and materials. At the time of selective use, you can leave the remaining times.

How to distinguish artificial stone, granite, quartz stone, marble.

1. Quartz stone advantages: disadvantages: slightly higher than other stones.

Due to the quartz countertop, the hardness is too strong and it is not easy to process. Not easy to scratch, high temperature resistance, burn injury, anti-aging, no fading, durable and beautiful, anti-bacterial, anti-toxic, durable and bright appearance, non-toxic and non-radiation. 2. There are two kinds of marble on the market today

Artificial marble, natural marble. 3. It has a good processing function: sawing, cutting, polishing, drilling, carving, etc.

The wear-resistant function is outstanding, not easy to age, and its service life is usually about 50 to 80 years. In industry, marble is widely used in marble characteristics: non-conductive, non-magnetic, stable field and other characteristics.

The color is beautiful, the color is rich, and it is widely used in the decoration of interior walls and floors. Such as: used in materials, purification agents, metallurgical solvents, etc.

4. The quality of quartz stone is directly related to the content of resin, the higher the content of quartz stone, the lower the amount of resin, the better the quality, the closer to nature, the less easy to deform.
