How to Identify the Quality of Quartz Stone

Because of hard material, beautiful appearance, quartz is widely used in building , but owners often do not know how to distinguish good and bad quartz to buy inferior products.This article will teach you how to identify the quality of quartz stone.

See:
1. Formal quartz stone have company coding on the behind.
2. Because of the hardness of quartz stone is very hard, so it should have cut the lines.

Soak with a strong acid:
3. Poor quartz appears the bubble with a strong acid after soaking.
4. High-quality quartz stone, with a strong acid immersion will not appear the bubble.

Scrape with knife:
5. After using Knife, low-quality quartz will appear powder.
6. With High hardness of quartz stone, there will be no powder was blowing, and there will be metal color of knife left on the quartz.

Fire:
7. Add a little detergent and water to scrub.
8. After burning , high-quality quartz stone basically can wash cleanly.

How to Tell Quartz Stone Countertops

There are many types of materials, such as marble, artificial stone, stainless steel and so on, in which the man-made stone mesa has become the mainstream of modern kitchen because of its convenient shape, variety of colors and so on. Consumers should be known how to distinguish between genuine and fake quartz stone countertops when buy them.

1, With hydrochloric acid and other immersion test. In order to maximize profits, some manufacturers will mix calcium carbonate in the quartz stone raw materials. Calcium carbonate easily reacts with the acid, if you buy , it is easy to change shape. Therefore, when you buy, you can put a sample in a dilute hydrochloric acid or other acidic liquid immersion, if the product contains calcium carbonate, it will react with acid.

2, Test the infiltration property. Quality quartz stone plate surface and the internal structure of the same detailed dense and uniform, so the water with a low rate, strong resistance to penetration; Fake quartz stone have similar appearance , but the internal structure is loose, water absorption, strong permeability. When you buy, you can pour sauce on the quartz stone table to check whether it will be infiltrated, poor quality quartz stone mesa infiltrate color just 1 days, quality is not.

3, With a knife to check the abrasion resistance. The main component of quartz stone mesa is silicon dioxide with highest hardness. quartz stone ,make by Quartz crystal and resin, generally have a quartz content of about 93% on the market. Therefore, the possibility of fracture is very small, and it is more abrasion. False quartz stone content high resin, the surface hardness will be relatively low, it is easy to scratch. You can use the knife on the table and try to make sure.

4, Using fire to check heat resistance. Poor quartz stone resin content is too high, heat resistance will be reduced. Therefore, you can burn the samples, and then see if the above is left behind.

Why Quartz Stone Have So Many Excellent Characteristic

Diamonds are the hardest natural mineral, quartz is the NO.2 hardest material in natural mineral which are physically and chemically stable. Due to its high quartz content, even kitchen knives will not damage the quartz surface and quartz countertop easily.

Quartz stone, quartz slabs, quartz surfaces are the names which the quartz slab manufacturers would use, because of its main ingredient are contenting up to 93% natural quartz.

Quartz stone is a dense non-porous composite material, normal acid used in the kitchen and does not corrode quartz stone. Any acid on the surface can be removed by just water effectively.

After 30 multi- complex treatment and polishing processes, quartz stone does not need much maintenance during use.

Due to its dense and nonporous characteristic, bacteria have no place to hide on the surfaces, it is safe for the food even have directly contact with the quartz countertops.

Because the main ingredient is silica(quartz), it makes quartz surface does not contain any heavy metals may cause radiation.

Do you want to know why quartz stone have such many excellent characteristic? I believe you would have a better understanding after knowing how it is made in the factory.

For a quartz manufacturer to manufacture a quartz slab in the factory, firstly will need to mix the raw materials, including resins and quartz sand with a specialized mixer, then put the mixed material into the mold, after that put the mold in a high-tech forming machine by using heat and huge pressure to form the slabs under a vacuum condition, after 30 multi- complex treatment and polishing processes, a quartz slabs finally comes out.

AS you can see these complex processes would make the surface dense and non-porous, and it’s natural characteristic would make the countertop green and safe for home using.
