Now home decoration is more and more widely used for artificial stone products, but people have some misunderstandings about artificial stone and even confuse them. Artificial stone is an abbreviation of stone plate produced by artificial equipment, which can be divided into acrylic, composite acrylic, quartz stone, granite, terrazzo, etc. Quartz stone and granite are the most easily confused between them. Because the price of quartz stone is slightly higher, some businesses will use granite to pretend to be granite in the market. How can we distinguish granite and quartz stone belonging to the same artificial stone series?

The full name of quartz stone is "artificial quartz stone plate". Because the composition of quartz in the plate is as high as 93%, it is called "quartz stone" by the industry. The filler quartz sand used has been purified in the past and will never contain any harmful materials and radiation sources. It is an indoor green environmental protection decorative stone. Granite is also called synthetic stone, reconstituted stone and engineering stone. Its appearance is very similar to artificial quartz stone. However, the filling materials of granite are natural marble fragments and stone powder, that is, the reuse of stone fragments, which are applied to indoor and outdoor engineering decoration. Generally speaking, the price is cheaper than quartz stone.
Although quartz stone and granite belong to artificial stone plate, the production process and production equipment are different. Quartz stone is formed by press and die casting one by one, and then heated, solidified, polished and fixed thickness; With organic resin as binder, granite is made into square material through vacuum mixing and high-pressure vibration, and then made into plate through room temperature curing, sawing, grinding, polishing and other processes. In terms of plate density, the density of quartz is higher than that of other stones, so the sample granite of the same specification is generally lighter than quartz. From the cross section, the quartz particles are evenly distributed and consistent inside and outside. Finally, look at their hardness. The hardness of quartz is second only to diamond, and its hardness is as high as Mohs hardness 7. Therefore, general steel products and appliances can not scratch quartz. Xiao Bian's suggestion: don't be greedy for cheap when choosing stone for family decoration. It's a constant law since ancient times that one price is one goods.
