What is the difference between granite and man-made granite?
Natural granite durable, is a good building materials, but its high cost of mining and processing, stone also contains harmful radioactive elements. In order to avoid weaknesses, developed a physical properties better than natural granite, and the surface "painted" a graphic artificial granite.
Granite (Granite), the main component of the continental crust, is a kind of magma formed in the surface below the formation of igneous rocks, belonging to the deep intrusive rocks. The main ingredients are feldspar, mica and quartz. The granite language is the Latin granum, meaning grain or grain. Because granite is a deep diagenetic, often able to form a well-developed, visually discernible mineral particles, hence the name. Granite is not easy to weathering, beautiful color, the appearance of color can be maintained for more than a century, because of its high hardness, wear resistance, in addition to the use of high-level architectural decoration works, hall floor, or open-air carving of the preferred material.
Artificial stone energy saving, non-radioactive material, it is the use of natural marble fragments, calcium powder as the main raw material. The use of 5% -8% of the unsaturated polyester resin as a binder, by vacuum, room temperature, high pressure, vibration, pouring, handsome in appearance, natural color uniform pattern, dense structure, strong wear resistance, High strength, low water absorption characteristics, to make up for the natural stone color, holes, cracks, cracks, high water absorption defects.
