Is microcrystalline stone good

Microcrystalline stone is a new type of building material that can be used in many buildings. Microcrystalline stone has many advantages, so its usage rate is getting higher and higher during decoration. The use of microcrystalline stone can make the building look colorful and gorgeous, and it has a wear-resistant effect and is easy to clean and maintain. In these aspects, it can meet the needs of customers. Microcrystalline stone is so popular, so is microcrystalline stone good?

Features

Texture

Microcrystalline stone is a material that is crystallized by firing at high temperatures similar to the conditions under which granite is formed. In terms of appearance texture, the surface finish of its polished plate is much smoother than that of stone (the brightness can reach 90-120 gloss units). The more important feature is that its special microcrystalline structure allows light to be evenly distributed to any angle no matter from which angle it enters through diffuse reflection of fine microcrystalline particles (rather than just concentrating on the reflection angle like a mirror), giving the plate a soft jade texture, which is more crystal clear and soft than natural stone, making the building more radiant.

performance

It has more physical and chemical advantages than natural stone: Microcrystalline stone is sintered through a special process under high temperature conditions similar to the formation conditions of granite. It has uniform texture, high density, high hardness, and better compression, bending and impact resistance than natural stone. It is long-lasting and wear-resistant, not easily damaged, and does not have the fine cracks common in natural stone.

texture

The board surface is crystal clear and soft: Microcrystalline stone has both a special microcrystalline structure and a special glass matrix structure, with a fine texture and a crystal clear and bright board surface. It can produce a diffuse reflection effect on the incident light, making people feel soft and harmonious.

color

The production process of microcrystalline stone can produce a variety of color series (especially crystal white, beige, light gray) according to the needs of use.

The four colors of white linen are the most fashionable and popular), and at the same time, it can make up for the defects of large color difference of natural stone. The products are widely used in interior and exterior decoration of hotels, office buildings, stations and airports, and are more suitable for high-end home decoration, such as walls, floors, decorative panels, furniture, basin panels, etc.

Acid and alkali resistance

Microcrystalline stone is an inorganic crystalline material with stable chemical properties and contains a glass matrix structure. Its acid and alkali resistance and corrosion resistance are better than natural stone, especially its weather resistance is more outstanding. It will not fade or reduce its strength even after being exposed to wind and sun for a long time.

Excellent anti-pollution performance, easy to clean and maintain

The water absorption rate of microcrystalline stone is extremely low, almost zero, and various dirty slurries and dyeing solutions are not easy to penetrate. The dirt attached to the surface can also be easily removed and wiped clean, which is particularly convenient for cleaning and maintenance of buildings.

opposite sex

Microcrystalline stone can be heated to make various arc-shaped and curved panels required by customers. It has the advantages of simple process and low cost, and avoids the disadvantages of large-scale cutting, grinding, time-consuming, material-consuming and wasteful of resources in arc-shaped stone processing.

No radiation

The production of microcrystalline stone has artificially eliminated any radioactive elements and does not contain the radiation damage that may cause human body like natural stone. It is the safest green and environmentally friendly material in modern times.

shortcoming

1. The Mohs hardness of the crystal jade layer on the surface of microcrystalline stone is 5-6, and its strength is lower than the Mohs hardness of polished tiles, which is 6-7.

2. The surface glossiness of microcrystalline stone is high, which can reach 90%. If there are scratches, they will be easily visible.

3. There are a certain number of pinholes on the surface of microcrystalline stone, which can easily show up when encountering dirt.

4. Except for a small number of high-end microcrystalline stone floor tiles, it is difficult to achieve seamless patterns on most microcrystalline stone floor tiles because each tile has a different pattern.
