Artificial marble has a long life

Traditional artificial marble countertops are usually made of acrylic resin and aluminum hydroxide, which have a certain degree of toughness and hardness, but they are afraid of knife scratches. This material is corrosion-resistant and light-resistant, and can be made into various shapes under high temperature conditions. The aging process is very slow. The artificial marble has a long life and has the advantages of non-toxic, harmless, and non-discoloring. In addition, this type of countertop is easy to refurbish, polish and polish. But this is not the case with counterfeit countertops on the current market. Because the calcium powder countertop is the product of fierce competition. "Good artificial marble countertops cost a few thousand yuan, while inferior countertops can be purchased for a few hundred yuan." According to experts, due to fierce competition, in order to pursue high profits, some manufacturers will not hesitate to lower the quality of artificial marble. It should be in resin. Add aluminum hydroxide, but because of the high cost of aluminum hydroxide, they add calcium powder, that is, calcium carbonate, to the countertop. Because calcium carbonate is not stable enough, it is very prone to chemical reactions when encountering hot acid. Normal acrylic board, the resin content inside should reach 35%, only the resin reaches a certain ratio, the board will have better toughness. After adding calcium powder, the artificial marble board becomes fragile, easy to crack and deform, and easy to turn yellow. "Ultraviolet rays will turn yellow as soon as it is irradiated, and it is easy to eat. Soy sauce and other things will seep into the countertop." "The life of the countertop will be greatly reduced, which will seriously affect the function of the artificial marble cabinet." It is understood that the use of artificial marble cabinets The cycle is about 10 years. Once the countertop is adulterated, the lifespan is only one or two years, which greatly reduces the use of artificial marble cabinets.
