How to distinguish between artificial marble and quartz stone?
1, quartzite is made of 94% quartz and 6% resin, the hardness reaches 7 degrees, while artificial marble is synthesized by marble powder and resin, so the hardness is generally 4-6 degrees, simply put, quartzite is harder than artificial marble than he is scratch-resistant, wear-resistant.
2, quartz stone is reusable, because the internal material of quartz stone is uniformly distributed, so whether the front or the reverse is basically the same, that is to say, the surface received serious collision damage, the front, then reverse after a simple polishing and polishing can achieve the same effect as the original front, which greatly reduces the maintenance costs and costs. And post stone is not reusable, because its frontal effect is made after special, once damaged can not be used again. Simply put, quartz stone is not easy to break, and artificial marble is easy to break.
3, quartz stone due to its own material characteristics, decided it high-temperature resistance, 300 degrees Celsius below the temperature will not have any effect on it, that is, will not deformation and fracture; artificial marble because it contains a lot of resin, so in the case of high temperature is particularly prone to deformation and performance scorching phenomenon.
4, quartz stone is a non-radiated product, with no adverse effects on the body; we make quartz stone raw materials are non-radiated quartz, and artificial marble is made of natural marble powder, so there may be radiation, causing adverse effects on the body.
5、When you look at the sample, there is a layer of protective film on the surface of the artificial marble. Quartz stone surface without any processing.
Some people say knife scratchplate, some say with acid bubble, these are right, but we want to teach is a simple method, so that people who do not know the stone nor the chemistry, can simply identify the authenticity.
Just look at the back of the stone, the back of the real quartz stone, is a turntable polished, is a rounded scratch, the scratch is obvious. The back of the artificial marble is flatter. Is cut out horizontally, is a faint straight mark, or has no scratches. So, look at the back of the curved scratches is the real quartz plate, the back is a straight mark or no is the artificial marble.
