Basic knowledge of quartz
After the most severe environmental impact assessment intensifies the reshuffle of China's manufacturing industry, the development of China's Quartz industry has also reached a new stage; At the same time, the small factories and workshops that were forcibly shut down in the process of environmental impact assessment once again show that the Chinese quartz market is mixed, true and false, and it is difficult to distinguish between good and bad. Understanding the basic knowledge of quartz stone can provide basis for the selection of quartz stone.
1. Definition and composition of quartzite
Definition of quartzite:
It is a kind of environmental friendly building material, which is mainly made of green pigment and quartz, which can be solidified by vacuum and other processes. It is mainly made of a new type of green pigment and quartz, which can be used as auxiliary materials without pollution.
Composition of quartz stone:
(1). Resin: resin is the basic material of quartz stone, which has the function of bonding and providing toughness.
(2). Filling materials: quartz stone filling materials are mainly composed of silica, others include: quartz sand, quartz powder, casting sand, broken glass, shell, sea sand, etc.
(3). Pigment: the function of pigment in quartz stone is to mix varieties of designs and colors to make them colorful.
(4). Curing agent: curing agent is an indispensable auxiliary for quartz production. Curing agent can play an important role in the shaping and dense forming process of quartz.
(5). Other additives: the resin is a kind of polymer material. Adding some additives properly can improve its process, improve production efficiency, enhance the performance of quartz stone and prolong its service life.
2. Properties of quartz
The hardness, rigidity and weight of quartz stone are higher than those of natural marble and ordinary artificial stone. It has strong scratch and wear resistance.
Its main performance:
(1). Not easy to scratch: the content of quartz sand of quartz stone is more than 90%, and it is pressed by gravity. Its overall hardness can be as high as Mohs hardness 7, which is greater than the sharp tools such as knives and shovels used in the kitchen, so it is not easy to be scratched by it.
(2). Strong pollution resistance: quartz stone is a solid surface material with the same surface and inside, dense and non porous, and the surface has excellent corrosion resistance to acid and alkali. The liquid placed on the surface for a long time only needs to be wiped with clean water or clean and bright detergent with a rag.
(3). Fire resistance and flame retardancy: natural quartz crystal is a typical refractory material with a melting point of 1300 degrees. Quartz stone made of more than 90% of natural quartz has excellent fire resistance and flame retardancy, will not burn due to contact with high temperature, and has high temperature resistance unmatched by artificial stone and other countertops.
(4). Non toxic and radiation free: the surface of quartz stone is smooth, flat and free of scratch retention. The dense and non porous material structure makes it impossible for bacteria to hide. Zhongxun quartz stone is non-toxic and radiation-free. It has passed NSF certification and can be in direct contact with food.
(5). Impermeability color: Zhongxun quartz stone products are vacuum die cast, dense and non porous. After multiple polishing processes, high-quality composite agent and pit aging agent are added. The products have low water absorption, impermeability and stain resistance.
3. Where can quartz stone plate be used?
cabinet table
Bathroom sink
bar counter
Reception
table
In addition, quartz stone can also be used for bay window, TV background wall, bedside table, office desk, etc. In the future, with the increasingly mature technology and protection skills of quartz stone, quartz stone will also be used with the ground and wall.
4. Maintenance of quartz stone
Quartz stone is a high hardness solid surface material with no gap and compactness composed of high-quality quartz sand and polymer materials. It has high-quality properties such as chemical resistance, scratch resistance and stain resistance. When applied to professional countertops, it has comprehensive advantages unmatched by other materials. In order to improve the beauty of quartz stone countertops, keep kitchen countertops clean and adhere to hygienic life, daily maintenance and maintenance are essential. Today, I will give you a systematic introduction on how to maintain quartz stone.
As we all know, quartz stone is widely used in cabinets, desks, office desks and other places, so it can not avoid oil stains, coffee stains, wine and vinegar stains, sugar and salt stains and other pollution. In this case, the countertop can only be wiped with warm water and Hefei soap water. In case of stubborn stains, it can be removed with Baijie pad.
Dispel ink
If there are naughty children at home, they may have to deal with some ink handwriting. They can clean the surface stains with a wet cloth and wipe them with rubber glue. If there are still traces, they can be mixed with washing powder and water in the ratio of 1:0.5, which makes the mixed washing powder viscous and has a certain friction force. Soak the mixed washing powder on the table for about 5 minutes, then brush it with a small brush until the stains are removed, and finally wash it with clean water.
Remove rust
Because there are a large number of metal cookers in the kitchen, annoying water stains and rust can not be avoided on the countertop. To deal with these rust stains, wipe the surface stains with a wet cloth, then soak them with toothpaste, white vinegar or 84 disinfectant for about 10 minutes, and then wipe them with a cloth. The stains can be easily removed
Avoid scraping as well as anti scraping
In daily use, the quartz stone should also avoid scratching from external forces. For example, do not cut meat and vegetables directly on the table. When cutting vegetables and meat, you can pad a layer of thick cloth first and then put the chopping board; Do not wipe with a wire ball or use a knife, drill or other mechanical impact.
Keep away from heat as well as heat
Quartz stone is made of most of quartz sand and a small part of resin combined with pigments and accelerators through multiple rigorous production processes. It is superior to nature and has more heat resistance than the countertops of other materials. In daily use, the use of thermal insulation pad and thermal insulation tripod can better protect the surface of the table, especially the edge part.
Chemical resistance should also avoid chemical reaction
The main causes of slight corrosion damage to the quartz stone table are: cleaners containing bleach, corrosive, rosin oil, high alkalinity, xylene, toluene, potassium hydroxide, caustic soda, dichloromethane, trichloroethane and other chemicals. Such cleaners should be avoided to clean the quartz stone.
