The main material of quartz stone is base on two parts, resin and quartz sand. The weight of a 20-thick quartz stone slab with a conventional color is usually 46kg/sqm, while the feeding weight of raw materials is approximately 70kg. Among them, the weight of quartz sand needs 65kg, which means that the content of quartz stone is usually around 93%, while other components are resin and color paste.
After fully mixing all raw materials into the mixing tank through the automatic batching system,the weight of the raw materials will be rechecked based on the above weight,and after confirmation,they will be evenly distributed in the mold.
Then,the air in the raw materials is fully squeezed out by a large gravity press,making the raw materials in the mold in a porous and dense state,which can better adhere to the resin. It is also an important step for slabs to pass quality inspection standards such as hardness and thickness after production.
After heavily pressing,the quartz stone slabs are still not fully utilized their energy efficiency,so the next step is also a crucial step - constant temperature baking which can fully utilize the performance of the resin,so that each sand is tightly and firmly adhered together under the action of the resin. Each slab is baked for about 4 hours,and then the temperature inside the oven is lowered to slowly return to normal temperature which has the advantage of ensuring the hardness and toughness of the slab in future use,without being as fragile as marble. Usually,this process takes 24 hours or even longer.
After the chemical reaction is fully completed,the slabs also enter the process of trimming,polishing,and polishing. We are equipped with 18-head (for small slabs) and 24-head (for big slabs) fully auto grinding and polishing lines. When they through a conveyor belt and has completed all the processes,the brightness is about 60°,and some colors can reach over 82°. The better the polishing degree of the surface of the slabs,the better their anti fouling ability in future daily use.
Quartz countertops has some features that make them an ideal choice for modern kitchen. Firstly,quartz countertops are highly durable and resistant to common kitchen wear and scratches. This means you can use various kitchen utensils during cooking process without worrying about damaging the countertop.
Secondly,quartz countertops are easy to clean and maintain. This is particularly important during the busy holiday season in the kitchen. Quartz countertops do not absorb liquids,making it easy to wipe away juices,oils,and other food residues. his allows you to focus on enjoying the holiday feasts and quality time with your family,without worrying about cleaning issues.
Lastly,quartz countertops offer a diverse range of colors and textures. Whether you prefer natural marble-like patterns or modern minimalist hues,quartz can provide various options. You can choose a quartz countertop that suits your preferences and overall kitchen style.
