What is microcrystalline stone

There are many new materials for home decoration now. We all hope that the living environment can use suitable materials to meet the needs of living. Therefore, we need to have a detailed understanding of the materials used to facilitate us to make the most appropriate choice. Recently, there is a new type of building material called microcrystalline stone. Many people want to use microcrystalline stone for decoration, but they don’t know much about it. So what is microcrystalline stone?

Microcrystalline stone is a new type of decorative building material. Composite microcrystalline stone is called microcrystalline glass composite board. It is a high-tech product that combines a layer of 3-5mm microcrystalline glass on the surface of ceramic vitrified stone and completely integrates them after secondary sintering. The thickness of microcrystalline stone is 13-18mm and the glossiness is greater than 95.

As a new type of building material, microcrystalline stone has gradually entered people's homes. According to the raw materials and production process of microcrystalline stone, microcrystalline stone can be divided into three categories: non-porous microcrystalline stone, full-body microcrystalline stone, and composite microcrystalline stone.

Non-porous stone

Non-porous microcrystalline stone, also known as artificial white marble, is a new type of high-grade environmentally friendly stone with many physical and chemical indicators superior to ordinary microcrystalline stone and natural stone. Its biggest feature is that it has no pores, no spots, high gloss, zero water absorption, and can be polished and refurbished. It is suitable for high-end decoration places such as exterior walls, interior walls, floors, columns, washbasins, countertops, etc.

Healthy body

Microcrystalline stone, also known as microcrystalline glass, is a new type of high-end decorative material. It is made of natural inorganic materials, using a specific process and high-temperature sintering. It has excellent properties such as no radiation, no water absorption, no corrosion, no oxidation, no fading, no color difference, no deformation, high strength and high gloss.

The reason why microcrystalline stone performs better than natural granite, marble, synthetic stone and artificial marble is related to its material composition and molding.

Microcrystalline stone is made by selecting several main components of granite and subjecting them to high temperature to precipitate a special crystal phase from a glass liquid with special components. Therefore, it has very high hardness and strength. During the molding process, it undergoes secondary high-temperature melting and shaping. Therefore, it does not have the texture formed by natural stone. It is not easy to break, does not absorb water, is not afraid of erosion and pollution, and has high gloss. After decoration, there will be no color difference, alkalinity, spitting and other phenomena. No maintenance required.

In addition, due to the natural formation process, natural stone contains radioactive elements (such as radon and radium) that are harmful to the human body to varying degrees. Staying in it for a long time will cause dizziness, general weakness, fatigue, infertility and other unknown symptoms. In severe cases, it has the potential to cause cancer. Microcrystalline stone is refined and analyzed twice at high temperatures, so it does not contain any radioactive elements.

Microcrystalline stone is colored with metal oxides as colorants and is sintered at high temperatures. Therefore, it will not fade and has bright colors.

Composite Stone

Composite microcrystalline stone is also called microcrystalline glass ceramic composite board. Composite microcrystalline stone is a new type of composite board with a 3-5mm layer of microcrystalline glass on the surface of ceramic vitrified tiles.

The high-tech new product is made by secondary sintering. The thickness of the microcrystalline glass-ceramic composite board is 13-18mm and the glossiness is >95.

1. The microcrystalline glass-ceramic composite board product combines the advantages of vitrified tiles and microcrystalline glass boards. It does not absorb dirt at all and is easy to clean and maintain.

2. Microcrystalline glass-ceramic composite panels also avoid the radioactive hazards of natural stone. They are non-radioactive products and are ideal green building materials for decoration.

3. It has the gorgeous decorative effect of high softness and smoothness that is unique to microcrystalline glass. Its hardness, wear resistance, surface hardness and flexural strength are superior to granite and marble.

4. As an inorganic crystallized material with stable chemical properties, the microcrystalline glass-ceramic composite board also 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 weather even after long-term wind and sun exposure.

5. The new type of plate material, jade crystal stone, which is compounded with micro-ceramic glass on vitrified tiles, has the advantages of easy laying and firm laying of ceramic tiles.

6. The microcrystalline glass-ceramic composite panel can be made into various arc-shaped and curved panels required by customers by heating method. 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.

7. The microcrystalline glass-ceramic vitrified tile composite board, which uses high technology to perfectly combine the two, overcomes the shortcomings of vitrified tiles and microcrystalline glass boards, and greatly improves the applicable occasions and scope of the product.

8. Natural color, crystal clear, never fade.

9. It has dense structure, uniform crystals, clear texture and a jade-like feel.
