What are the differences between quartz stone and natural stone
Ingredients
The difference between natural stone and quartz stone depends on their composition, function, and production process. The components of natural stone include resin natural stone, pure acrylic natural stone, and natural granite, and the fillers are mostly natural stone powder or aluminum hydroxide powder. The joint venture is to use resin for bonding, because natural stones with resin are generally not resistant to high temperatures and have poor hardness. However, high-quality natural stones such as pure acrylic natural stone have good plasticity and can be made into any shape, and natural stones (excluding natural granite) are environmentally friendly and seamlessly spliced, which quartz stone does not have.
The key components of quartz stone are quartz sand and a small amount of resin, which have high hardness, high temperature resistance, and no oil leakage. The excellent environmental protection and light color of quartz stone can also be seamlessly spliced, because quartz stone is too hard to create various curved shapes like natural stone.
Raw materials
Natural stone: It is a mineral filled polymer composite material made from natural mineral powder, acrylic, high-performance resin, and natural pigment through vacuum casting or molding; Quartz stone: It is made from approximately 93% of quartz crystal particles, added with pigments, resins, glue, and antibacterial agents, and then vacuum, high temperature, and high pressure.
Plasticity
Natural stones have almost no restrictions on placement, with infinite creativity and endless appearance. Quartz stone is mainly composed of quartz crystals with a high content, making its texture doubly hard and dense, making it less prone to additional appearance and less plastic than natural stone.
Anti fouling and scratch resistance
Natural stones are prone to scratches and color bleeding, so care should be taken when using them. Quartz stone has characteristics such as wear resistance, scratch resistance, and penetration resistance that cannot be compared with other materials.
Constructive
After natural stone damage, it can be repaired, polished, and polished for construction, which can prolong its service life. Due to its hardness, quartz stone is not as easy to construct as natural stone, making an exception. Quartz stones do not need to be treated in a flat environment.
Heat resistance
Natural stones are not heat-resistant or heat-resistant. It is recommended not to place feverish utensils directly on the contour, and insulation pads can be used instead. Although quartz has more heat resistance than ordinary materials, it is recommended not to place feverish utensils directly on the contour for durability. Instead, insulation pads can be used.
