How to distinguish between natural stone and artificial stone?
Is a kind of natural mineral powder, high performance resin and natural pigment after vacuum casting or molding mineral filled polymer composites (referred to as solid material or solid sheet, commonly known as artificial stone), can be widely used in public buildings (hotels, restaurants, banks, hospitals, laboratories, exhibition etc.) and home decoration (kitchen countertops, commode, kitchen wall, dining table, coffee table, window, door, etc.) is a kind of non radioactive pollution, reusable environmental protection, green building new indoor decoration materials.Advantages of artificial stone:1 easy to clean: dirt can be cleaned with soap or detergent2 dirt resistance: the possibility of liquid penetration is small, stubborn stains can be removed, such as ink or soy sauce3 impact resistance: compared with ordinary stone or polymer, anti cracking ability is stronger, small scratches and cut marks can be removed with sandpaper4 heat resistance: heat resistance than the general surface material, but we suggest that the heat can not be placed directly on the surface of the vessel, please use the insulation pad5 flame retardant: it is a flame retardant material6 Food Standards: can make regular contact with food
If you choose to do the disadvantages of natural stone mesa is required on the length of time is too long, do not like man-made stone mosaic like seamless mosaic. In addition, because there is a natural stone pores, so do the best choice when the cabinet of dark granite, such as Chinese black, black gold sand, Ji'nan green, blue linen, etc., to prevent infiltration of color oil. Like China black, Shanxi black, Ji'nan green, blue linen, such as the price per square meter in the following hundred dollars, and this price obviously you can not buy any artificial stone.Note: in the selection of the use of cabinet countertops, such as the choice of natural stone must use granite, marble texture is soft, not suitable for bearing requirements of the table.Natural stones have radiation: (for example)Daniel stone radiation levels are divided into three categories: a minimum of B radiation, followed by C, the biggest, but a choice for indoor use is no problem, and don't try to choose bright colors of marble. The marble granite radiation than the strong, so can not vote on the election.

More useless: the simplest way to distinguish: artificial stone is in addition to artificial quartz stone than ordinary stone lighter. And high flexibility.The natural stone is bent and broken, the artificial stone can be bent to a certain angle.
