As a versatile material,
Sintered stone slabs have attracted a lot of attention in contemporary architecture and home décor. However, with the popularity of porcelain slabs, some questions about the authenticity of sintered stone have sparked controversy.
First of all, we need to make it clear that there is no real or fake
sintered stone itself.
Sintered stone slab is made by crushing natural ore stone, mixing other trace ingredients, pressing it under high pressure, and firing it at high temperature, and it cannot be imitated or counterfeited.
A common rumor is that sintered rock contains harmful substances that can negatively affect the environment and human health. The truth is that high quality sintered stone materials undergo rigorous quality testing and comply with the relevant standards, and do not cause any harm to the environment or human health. It is environmentally friendly and free from any formaldehyde and harmful substances.
Quality
sintered stone countertops should have the following physicochemical properties:
1. Chemical resistance:
Sintered stone is resistant to organic solvents, inorganic solvents, disinfectants and cleaners, and is simple to clean with no change in surface characteristics. It usually has a chemical resistance rating of Class A.
2. Resistance to abrasion:
Sintered stone is resistant to scuffing and deep scratching. Therefore, even after high-intensity use and high-frequency cleaning, its properties can still remain unchanged. Its hardness is usually 6-7 on the Mohs scale and abrasion resistance is usually ≤175mm.
3. Flexural resistance: Sintered rock has a high modulus of rupture, which is usually ≥35Mpa.
4. Low frost heave sensitivity: Since the average water absorption of
sintered stone porcelain slabs is 0.01%-0.02%, it is frost heave resistant and suitable for all climatic conditions.
5. Fire resistance: Since sintered stone does not contain organic substances, it is characterized by fire resistance and high temperature resistance. Even in the event of a fire, rock slabs do not emit smoke or toxic substances.
6. Sanitary surfaces: Sintered stone does not release any solution components, does not harbor mold, bacteria and fungi, and has high stain resistance.
7. Color characteristics: Sintered stone does not contain pigments, is resistant to UV rays, and does not undergo any change in color due to changing environmental conditions.
8. Environmentally compatible and recyclable: the
sintered stone is an all-natural product that does not release hazardous substances into the environment, is easily crushed and fully recyclable for use in other production processes.
9. Graffiti Resistance: Sintered stone is a more graffiti resistant surface that is easy to clean and will not leave marks from even the strongest paints.
10. Suitable for indoor and outdoor environments: Sintered stone is suitable for use as indoor and outdoor cladding and will not damage the surface of the product during changes in outdoor temperatures and prolonged exposure to humidity.
