Counters are indispensable in our daily lives, such as cabinet countertops and window sills at home, cash registers, shopping guide counters, test benches in businesses, etc. Among the many countertop materials, quartz has always been the first choice. Why are more and more countertops made of quartz?
Quartz is a kind of artificial stone, a product of the combination of natural beauty and high technology. Quartz is a brittle polymer composite material. It is an artificial stone plate made of more than 90% quartz sand and 7% unsaturated resin as the main materials, and is made through high vibration, high pressure, high temperature and other processes.
What are the advantages of using quartz?
1. Easy to clean: During the production process of quartz countertops, according to the principle of "lotus effect", modern bionic technology is used to treat the surface of quartz countertops with special processes, taking into account both aesthetics and hygiene effects. The surface is dense and non-porous, forming a unique micro-convex and concave texture. Compared with the rough surface of traditional artificial stone countertops, it is not easy to hide dirt and breed bacteria, and it is also more convenient to clean.
2. Non-toxic and non-radiative
1. No radiation: Everyone knows that natural stone contains heavy metal elements and is radioactive, while the raw materials of quartz before artificial synthesis are granular. After strict mineral processing and purification, it does not contain heavy metal impurities and does not have radioactive problems.
2. Corrosion resistance: Quartz countertops have excellent acid and alkali resistance, and its corrosion resistance is the best among artificial stones. In daily life, acid and alkali are not enough to damage the countertops. Compared with artificial stones, quartz is more acid and alkali resistant.
3. Anti-aging: Quartz materials contain high-quality synthetic agents and anti-aging additives, which make them have strong anti-aging ability. At room temperature, after years of use, the aging of the material is basically not observed.
