What Is Artificial Stone Made Of

Artificial Stone Fabrication is a man-made material that is usually processed and mixed with ingredients such as natural quartz, resins and pigments. Artificial Stone is usually used to make countertops, floors, walls, etc. It is favored for its high strength, wear resistance, waterproof, and easy cleaning.

The main components of Artificial Stone Material are Quartz and Resin. Quartz is a very common mineral, one of the most common on Earth. When making engineered stone, quartz is usually crushed and sieved into small particles, which are then mixed with resin. These small particles can be white, gray or other colors and come in different shapes and sizes.

Resin is another important ingredient in artificial stone. Commonly used resins include polyester resins, epoxy resins, and acrylic resins. Resin is a sticky material that binds the quartz particles together and makes the whole material stronger and more durable. In addition, the resin can also add pigments during the process, so that the artificial stone has more color options.

The process of making artificial stone usually includes the following steps: first, select the proportion of quartz and resin according to the needs, and mix them together. The mixture is then poured into a molding machine, where it is solidified by heating and vibrating. Finally, sand or otherwise finish the surface as desired.

Traditionally, the manufacturing process of artificial stone is cumbersome and costly. However, with the continuous development of science and technology, some new technologies have begun to be applied to the manufacture of artificial stone, which has gradually improved its manufacturing cost and process, and is expected to be more widely used in the future.
