Pay attention to the following points to make it easy for you to choose high-quality quartz stone!

How to distinguish high-quality quartz stone？

In modern home decoration, quartz stone has become an ideal choice for kitchens and bathrooms due to its beauty and durability. This article will explain how to identify the quality of quartz stone raw materials and discuss the potential risks of choosing low-quality quartz stone.

·Quartz stone composition and quality material standards

Artificial quartz stone is a new type of decorative material. It is a kind of non-radioactive pollution, does not add calcium carbonate sand and powder, and has the characteristics of wear resistance, pressure resistance, high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, antifouling, antibacterial, anti-penetration, green and environmental protection, etc. And pregnant women and children can have healthy contact with it, which is one 
of the reasons why Caxstone is chosen by more families.

Due to the wide applicability and excellent performance of quartz stone, it is inevitably imitated by some unscrupulous merchants. The appearance of quartz stone imitations is very similar to that of genuine quartz stone, making it difficult for end customers to distinguish between them. These imitations are composed of less than 50% quartz sand, low-quality resin, and calcium carbonate sand powder. Although their performance is superior to artificial marble, it is still far inferior to that of genuine quartz stone.

Choosing high-quality epoxy resin or high-performance unsaturated resin that is high temperature resistant and environmentally friendly as the adhesive ensures the superior quality and long-lasting durability of the product.

However, in order to reduce costs, some unscrupulous merchants lack strict quality control and use inferior resin, calcium carbonate powder or inferior quartz sand as raw materials for production, resulting in unstable characteristics such as strong smell and residual corrosive chemicals in the board. In daily life, long-term exposure to low-quality quartz stone will be detrimental to human health and may even be harmful to health.

·Key points to distinguish the quality of quartz stone

Quartz sand material selection: High-quality quartz stone slabs are made of natural raw ore quartz sand or other high-quality materials, and the raw ore sand is screened multiple times to remove impurities to ensure its whiteness. However, inferior quartz sand will be pickled to improve its whiteness, but this kind of quartz sand is prone to residual acidic substances, causing accelerated oxidation and yellowing of the board, affecting its appearance, hardness and performance.

·The difference between high quality quartz stone and poor quality quartz stone

Color and Texture: High-quality quartz stone usually has a uniform and natural color without too many spots or uneven colors. The texture should be clear and natural, with no obvious artifacts.

Gloss: The surface of high-quality quartz stone should have a high degree of gloss, and the reflected light should be clear and bright.Quartz stone that has an uneven luster or appears cloudy may be of poor quality.

Hardness: The hardness of high-quality quartz stone is relatively high, with a Mohs hardness of 6-7. It can be tested by scratching on the surface and is not easily scratched or damaged. However, inferior quartz stone has a lower quartz sand content. As a result, its hardness is low, it cannot withstand grinding and scraping, and it is easy to produce powder.

Density: High-quality quartz stone has the superior properties of high density and strong anti-penetration ability. High-density quartz stone has low water absorption. When used in environments with high humidity such as kitchens and bathrooms, the lower water absorption rate can effectively prevent moisture or other pollutants from penetrating.

·The dangers of poor quality quartz stone

Short service life: Inferior quartz stone generally adds a certain proportion of calcium carbonate sand powder, which makes it easy to crack and damage, and cannot withstand the pressure of long-term use.

Maintenance Difficulties: Due to poor surface treatment or uneven material quality, inferior quartz stone slabs are more prone to yellowing and staining. This increases the difficulty of cleaning and maintenance, thereby raising maintenance costs.

Selecting high-quality quartz stone is key to ensuring the beauty, safety, and functionality of your home. Consumers should thoroughly understand the composition of quartz stone, learn how to identify inferior materials, and choose reputable suppliers for their purchases. This will not only enhance the overall home environment but also ensure long-term satisfaction with the product.

Caxstone is almost an ideal choice for application in interior decoration design. It is designed to meet the needs of modern healthy life, provide a comfortable living environment, let the busy body be completely lost, and rest in the tranquility and comfort of home!
