Quartz stone countertops refer to cabinet countertops made of quartz stone, mostly made of broken glass and quartz sand. The advantages of quartz stone countertops are wear resistance and scratch resistance, good heat resistance, large area paving and wall, seamless splicing, and durability.
The specific production process: firstly crush the high-quality natural quartz sand, and then purify it (the process removes metal impurities and avoids the radioactivity of the product), and then mix the raw materials and mix the quartz crystals (90%-94%) under vacuum conditions. %), resin (6%), and trace pigments are made into large-size plates through heterogeneous polymerization technology, and then the surface is polished and polished in more than 30 processes.
Up to 93% of the quartz crystal is the main structure so that the product retains the background of the quartz crystal, and its texture is harder and tighter. It has the characteristics of wear resistance, pressure resistance, high-temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, and penetration resistance than other decorative materials can’t match. The combination of rich colors gives it the texture of natural stone and beautiful surface gloss.
Because this product is a brand-new decorative surface material made from quartz crystal ore as raw material, it is a product of a combination of natural beauty and high technology. This kind of quartz crystal ore itself has natural characteristics such as crystal clear, clear, beautiful color, luxurious, high hardness, no deformation, no discoloration, strong toughness, no radioactivity, strong acid-resistance, and other natural characteristics, so it is called “Jade Mine”. Quartz stone surface material made of this raw material combines many advantages of natural stone and artificial stone. It has been widely adopted and used by customers in most countries in the world, including Europe, America, Australia, the Middle East, and other countries. And it has been sold in large quantities to countries such as Italy, the United States, Spain, Turkey, Portugal, and other countries of origin of quartz stone.

What is a countertop?
Cabinet countertop materials have undergone several breakthrough updates, from cement board, tile surface, wood board, veneer fireproof board, natural stone board, stainless steel, to the most used quartz stone today. Cement boards, tile surfaces, wood boards, etc. are eliminated by the market because of their too many shortcomings. We won’t talk about it here. Next, we will summarize the advantages and disadvantages of several countertop materials that exist on the market:
Fireproof board countertop: The base material of the fireproof board countertop is MDF, and the finish is the fireproof board. Thickness: 4mm, colorful and diverse, fire-proof, moisture-proof, oil-resistant, and easy to clean. However, compression resistance, scratch resistance, hardness, and environmental protection can not meet the requirements, and the service life is short, so it will gradually be eliminated by the market.
Stainless steel countertop: durable and easy to clean. However, the single color of stainless steel countertops makes you feel uncomfortable, not warm and lacks the warmth of the family. It is no longer popular under the popular home atmosphere that emphasizes individuality and advocates returning to nature.
Artificial stone countertops: The artificial stone countertops currently on the market are mainly made of unsaturated resin or acrylic resin, filled with fillers, pigments, and compressed with a vacuum bubble discharge plane. Some manufacturers even make hand-paste resin and stone powder. Its main characteristics are that it is colorful, has strong plasticity, but has poor scratch resistance, insufficient hardness, no natural feeling, and is not ideal in terms of antibacterial and environmental protection.
Natural stone: Although natural stone has natural textures and is more beautiful, natural marble cannot meet the requirements for pollution resistance, environmental protection, toughness, and high-temperature resistance. The main reason is that natural stone has pores, it is easy to penetrate into the texture, it is difficult to clean, and natural marble is very brittle, and it cannot be made more than 1 meter of countertops. It will crack when the temperature changes sharply. In addition, natural stone has strong radioactivity. If it exceeds the standard, it Will cause harm to the human body.
In summary, people urgently need to find a new type of countertop that is environmentally friendly, antibacterial, scratch-resistant, high-temperature resistant, rich in color, and easy to clean to meet the requirements of use. Therefore, the price of artificial stone is slightly higher than that of artificial stone. Due to the quartz stone countertops, the hardness is too strong, difficult to process, and the shape is too single.
Basic common sense of quartz stone countertop maintenance:
1. Do not put the high temperature or hot pot directly or for a long time on the countertop
Hot pots, hot pots, or other utensils that are too high in temperature directly from the stove, oven, microwave, etc. will cause damage to the countertop.
2. Try to avoid scratching the countertop with sharp objects during operation
No matter what kind of countertop you choose, you should cut vegetables on the cutting board to prepare food. In addition to avoiding knife marks and damaging the blade, it can also achieve better hygiene.
3. Keep the countertop as dry as possible
Keep the countertop clean, try not to soak or accumulate water for a long time, and keep the countertop clean and dry.
4. Strictly prevent corrosive chemicals from contacting the countertop
Try to avoid touching the countertop with corrosive chemicals in daily life. If you accidentally touch it, immediately wash the surface with plenty of soapy water or consult relevant professionals.

Quartz stone countertop
Quartz stone countertop is a new kind of new technology artificial stone synthesized from fine and gorgeous stones. Its manufacturing process is produced by connecting a set of the most advanced and patented systems. The product is wrapped with more than 90% natural quartz stone or granite, then mixed with an ultra-high performance resin and special pigments to combine. The countertop made of quartz stone material guarantees high hardness, high-temperature resistance, acid and alkali resistance, impact resistance, and easy cleaning, without any radioactive elements harmful to the human body. Generally, the quartz stone plate contains up to 93% natural quartz, and also contains resin, mineral pigments, and other additives. The surface polishing process becomes quartz stone. The surface of this plate is as hard as granite, the color is as rich as marble, the structure is as antiseptic and stain-resistant as glass, and the shape after finishing is as perfect as artificial stone.
Its main material is quartz. Quartz stone is non-radiation and high in hardness, which makes the quartz stone countertops scratch-free (Mohs hardness 7), stain-free (vacuum manufacturing. Dense and non-porous), and hot (quartz material. Can be used. Temperature resistance 1300 ℃), durable (30 polishing processes without maintenance), non-toxic and non-radiation (NSF certification, no heavy metals, can be in direct contact with food). Quartz stone countertops have various colors. Gobi series, crystal series, granite series, and twinkling star series are more distinctive and 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.) are a kind of non-radioactive pollution, reusable environmental protection, green new building interior decoration materials.
Artificial marble countertop
Artificial marble is made of unsaturated polyester resin as a binder, which is made of marble powder stone sand or granite fragments bonded with a binder. Ordinary granite is also called artificial marble. There are two production methods: tablet production and block production, both have their advantages and disadvantages. The former is superior in diagonal and flatness, while the latter is better in uniform color and can also be used for special-shaped processing, such as cylindrical processing. On the market, there are many production methods of block-type granite.
Product Features:
① Most of the granite uses organic pigments with different colors. Organic pigments are not resistant to sunlight, moisture, acid, and alkali, etc., and are easy to fade or even change color.
② Most of the stone has a high glue content. On the one hand, the texture of the stone is not strong and the decoration effect is not up to the grade. On the other hand, the glue expands and shrinks greatly, the product is easy to deform and warp, and the service life is short. Moreover, the glue generally contains Volatile toxic gas, harmful to the human body.
③The stone has many pores due to the process, and the product has poor impact resistance, easy to seepage and color, poor resistance to disease, its gloss is fake, it is easy to be worn, and it is not durable.
④The granite made of marble powder is not acid resistant, because its main component is CaCO3, which easily reacts with an acid to decompose; the hardness of marble powder and binder is very low, so the hardness of granite is also very low, generally less than Mohs hardness of 3, so it is not abrasion-resistant, not resistant to scratching, and easy to scratch.
⑤ The first generation of granite contains more or less radioactivity due to the composition of marble and granite.
Artificial marble is mainly used for interior walls and floors, and its physical properties are lower than natural stone and quartz stone during use. When used on the ground, it is prone to bulges, discoloration, scratches, etc., and it is extremely difficult to clean after long-term use. There is also a big gap between the surface gloss and natural stone.
