Classification Of Stone And Definition Of Artificial Stone

As a kind of top-grade building materials, decorative stone is known by few people

about its classification and functions. Artificial stones can mainly be classified into

natural stone and artificial stone. Normally, the stone in the market are marble, granite,

terrazzo and synthetic stone. Among the marble stones, the white marble is of

top-grade.Granite is harder than marble. Terrazzo is made from cement, stone granule.

etc. Synthetic stone uses gravel of natural stone as its raw material, which is then

pressed and polished with adhesive. The last two of the stones mentioned above are

artificial stones. Thus they are harder than the natural stone.

Wanfeng Engineered Stone Co., Ltd is a national high-tech enterprise combining

technology R&D, production, sales, application design, site construction and

after-sale maintenance services of artificial stone and its deep processed products.

Products of Wanfeng stone includes artificial marble, quartz stone and inorganic

stone.

1. Artificial Marble Series

Wanfeng artificial marble can be classified into exquisite marble, rough aggregate

marble and hardened marble. Now Wanfeng has full-fledged products of five

generations, with seventy or eighty color patterns.

The raw materials for artificial marble are aggregate, filler(natural marble and its

powder) and binding material(unsaturated polyester resin). Sometimes, in order to

enhance its decorative effect, shell, glass or even materials with metallic luster will

also be used as raw materials. After the stirring, vacuum pressing, vibration molding

and solidifying process, stone block is then incised and polished into decorative

artificial stone.

2. Quartz Stone Series

Wanfeng quartz stone uses natural quartz as its raw material and is produced through

the unique platen process. The platen process includes some patent techniques, like

automatically material distribution, top-grade pressing system and ultra-pure system.

Artificial quartz consists of more than 90% natural quartz and quartz powder, and

about 10% resin, pigment, and other additives used for binding and solidification.

After the process of vacuum-negative pressure, high vibration and moderate

solidification, artificial quartz can have the following incomparable features: high

resistance of scratch, pressure, heat,corrosion and permeation. Thus artificial quartz is

a kind of top-grade stone with broad market prospects.
