Material characteristics of quartz

2023-05-31


Not easily damaged

The quartz content of quartz stone is as high as 94%. Quartz crystal is a natural mineral whose hardness is second only to diamond in nature. Its surface hardness can reach as high as Mohs scale hardness 7.5, which is far greater than the sharp tools used in the kitchen, such as knives and shovels, and will not be scratched by it.

Not easily contaminated

Quartz stone is a dense and porous composite material manufactured under vacuum conditions. Its quartz surface has good corrosion resistance to kitchen acids and alkalis. Liquid substances used in daily use do not penetrate its interior. Liquid placed on the surface for a long time only needs to be wiped with clean water or a clean and bright cleaning agent using a cloth. If necessary, a blade can be used to scrape off any residue on the surface.

Not prone to aging

The shiny and bright surface of quartz stone has undergone more than 30 complex polishing processes, which will not be scratched by knives or shovels, will not be penetrated by liquid substances, and will not cause problems such as yellowing and discoloration. Daily cleaning only requires rinsing with water, which is simple and easy to operate. Even after prolonged use, its surface remains as bright as the newly installed countertop, without the need for maintenance and upkeep.

Strong fire resistance

Natural quartz crystals are typical refractory materials, with a melting point of over 1300 degrees Celsius. Quartz stone made of 94% natural quartz is completely flame retardant and will not burn due to contact with high temperatures. It also has high-temperature resistance characteristics that cannot be compared to artificial stone countertops.

Non toxic and harmless

The surface of quartz stone is smooth, flat, and free from scratches. The dense and porous material structure allows bacteria to hide nowhere and can come into direct contact with food, making it safe and non-toxic.

High quality quartz stone is made from selected natural quartz crystal minerals, with a SiO2 content of over 99.9%. It is purified during the manufacturing process by removing impurities. The raw materials do not contain any heavy metal impurities that may cause radiation. 94% of quartz crystals and other resin additives make quartz stone free from the risk of radiation pollution.
