Since its birth, artificial stone has developed over the past decades and has long been one of the mature decorative materials on the market, but the subclass of inorganic artificial stone (accurately inorganic artificial granite and inorganic artificial quartz) is just emerging. Therefore, whenever we mention it, there is always someone who is confused: What is inorganic stone?
To say inorganic artificial stone, what is the concept of "inorganic"?
Inorganic, chemical noun. The original finger compound is related to or derived from a non-organism, and generally refers to a compound that does not contain carbon atoms except for the oxides of carbonates and carbon (such as inorganic chemicals, inorganic chemicals, inorganic substances, inorganic acids, inorganic substances). Salts, inorganic coatings, inorganic pigments, inorganic fertilizers, etc.) generally refer to compounds that do not contain carbon atoms.
Materials composed of elements such as carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen are collectively referred to as organic materials. For example, wood, plastics, rubber, paint, etc., simply speaking, organic materials can be burned at normal temperature and pressure, while inorganic materials cannot, such as steel, cement, clay bricks, etc.
We know that artificial stone is a kind of artificial building decoration material. Its main raw material (aggregate) is natural stone such as quartz stone and marble, and then a small amount of ingredients (adhesives, pigments, embellishments) are added precisely. After pressing into one.
Then, inorganic artificial stone is relative to the traditional organic artificial stone - organic artificial stone contains a certain proportion of organic components, and inorganic artificial stone, whether it is aggregate or ingredient, all use inorganic materials. The two can really do the same on the aggregate. Aside from the factors of equipment and technology, the key to distinguishing these two artificial stones lies in this ingredient!
Conventional artificial stone ingredients are usually pressed and synthesized using an organic binder (the main component is resin glue, etc.), and the advantages are very obvious:
1. The higher the resin content, the better the bending resistance is. As with acrylic, the bending is not easy to break and is not easy to break.
2. Improve the permeability (light transmittance) of the product, such as the effect of artificial jade that is common in the market;
3. The density of the product is improved, the water absorption rate is lower, and the sealing property is stronger;
4. Improve the processability of the material, make it easier to process, and make it thinner and lighter;
5, the more resin components, the easier to mix a variety of lines of exaggerated colors, and with a plastic texture;
6, traditional artificial stone often uses organic pigments and embellishments to adjust the color, organic pigments usually have higher tinting strength, particles are easy to grind and disperse, not easy to precipitate, easy to blend out colorful colors, and the color is saturated and gorgeous, very eye-catching .
However, the problem of using organic binders is also very prominent:
1. The more the organic machine binder content, the more the texture looks like plastic, losing the natural texture of the stone;
2. The more easily it softens and swells after being heated, the thermal expansion and contraction of the material is obvious, and the frost resistance and heat resistance are degraded. When the product is applied to the ground, it is easy to cause drums and cracks due to environmental changes;
3. The more organic machine binder content, the easier it is to burn at high temperature, the lower the fire resistance grade, the lower the safety factor, and the harmful unpleasant smell, which will cause great harm in the event of fire;
4. The higher the resin content, the less the raw material content, resulting in lower hardness of the product, lower wear resistance, and shorter time for maintaining the mirror effect;
5, too low water absorption rate, so that water vapor can not diverge from the bottom, gathered in the bottom of the stone, easy to start from the inside of the stone;
6. Organic pigments are poor in light fastness, heat resistance and weather resistance. After a period of time, they are easy to fade or partially fade, especially in outdoor fading. Organic pigments (pigments) are also lacking in safety and environmental protection.
7. In order to reduce the cost, individual manufacturers use inferior binders and inferior ingredients. The products barely meet or even meet national safety standards, posing a certain safety hazard to the environment and the health of users.
