What are the advantages and disadvantages of artificial quartz stone? Artificial quartz stone has the following advantages and disadvantages:

Advantages

1. Good physical performance:

-High hardness: The Mohs hardness is usually between 5-7, which is much higher than that of ordinary iron tools. Therefore, it has strong wear resistance and scratch resistance, and is not easily scratched in daily use. Even if sharp objects rub on the table, it is not easy to leave obvious scratches.

-High temperature resistance: capable of withstanding high temperatures, able to resist burns from cigarette butts and bottom residue, and is a better heat-resistant material besides stainless steel. Its melting point is above 1300 degrees Celsius and it will not burn due to contact with high temperatures.

-Strong compressive strength: With a dense structure and high density, it has good compressive strength and can withstand heavy objects and pressure without deformation or damage.

-Good corrosion resistance: It has good corrosion resistance to substances such as acid and alkali in the kitchen. Liquid substances used in daily life are not easy to penetrate its interior. Liquids that are left on the surface for a long time only need to be wiped with water or ordinary household cleaning agents with a cloth.

2. Beautiful appearance:

-Rich colors: By adding different pigments, various colors can be blended to meet the personalized needs and decoration styles of different consumers.

-Diverse textures: It can imitate the texture of natural stone, such as marble patterns, granite patterns, etc., and can also be designed with unique patterns and designs, which have high decorative value.

-Surface Brightness: After fine polishing treatment, the surface is smooth and bright, with good texture, which can enhance the overall beauty of the kitchen or other places of use.

3. Environmental protection and health:

-Non toxic and radiation free: It has been verified by authoritative national health organizations as a non-toxic sanitary material, which can directly come into contact with food and is harmless to human health.

-Recyclable: Belonging to artificial materials, it can control the quality and composition of raw materials during the production process, and can be recycled and reused after the end of its service life, meeting environmental protection requirements.

4. Convenient daily maintenance: Its structure is compact, without micropores, does not absorb water, and is not easy to stain. Daily cleaning only requires wiping with water or neutral detergent to keep it clean, saving cleaning time and energy.

Disadvantages

1. Lack of naturalness: Compared with natural stone, the texture and texture of artificial quartz stone are relatively fake, lacking the unique charm and natural beauty of natural stone. Therefore, it may not be suitable for places that require extremely high decorative effects and pursue natural styles.

2. High processing difficulty: Although artificial quartz stone has a certain degree of processability, due to its high hardness, professional tools and equipment are required during the processing, and high processing technology requirements are also required. If not processed properly, problems such as edge breakage, missing corners, and cracking may occur.

3. Relatively simple shape: Compared with materials such as artificial stone, artificial quartz stone has lower plasticity and is not easy to make complex shapes and special designs such as bending. It may be limited in some situations that require personalized shapes.

4. High price: Its production process is complex and the cost of raw materials is high, so the market price is relatively high, especially for high-quality artificial quartz stone products, which may be much higher than other countertop materials.

5. There are certain quality differences: The quality of artificial quartz stone products on the market varies greatly, and some low-quality products may have problems such as high resin content and insufficient purity of quartz sand, which can affect their performance and service life.

6. Dust during installation: Due to the fact that artificial quartz stone is a processed sheet, cutting, polishing, and other operations are required during the installation process, which can generate a certain amount of dust and have a certain impact on the construction environment and the health of construction personnel.
