Artificial stone classification, production and process

Artificial stone industry mainly concentrated in guangdong, fujian, Shanghai, jiangsu, etc, due to natural ore source produce less and less, and limit blind, from this Artificial stone mining increase in demand. Guangdong, fujian xiamen zhang springs area Artificial stone market is very big. Nearly two years of the two market after a survey found that Artificial stone products on the market types have the following kinds:

1. The dongguan, shenzhen nearby with artificial stone resin do on the back of Mosaic desktop enhancement, the product is overall export. 2. Zhongshan near stone, the stone's light and some transparent chimney. 3. Heshan, foshan and zhongshan, near Artificial stone kitchen and bath. 4. The HuaXun, rich, stone, Europe clique, the Athens, Artificial stone plate enterprise, the resin of guangdong market Artificial stone of the resin content above 70%. Guangdong area do such Artificial stone plate is very much, the manufacturer of the product quality is also the manufacturer is uneven, standard board (2440 mm x 760 mm x 12.7 mm) of the lower price is difficult to believe with aluminum hydroxide powder as raw material. Some low calcium powder to plank, packing, products appear out of shape, craze, resistance to water resistance and obvious defects. 5. Shanghai, fujian, guangdong area of Artificial stone and artificial comprised hillock. Artificial stone also called project hillock stone, the popular stone, is a gang of two or more natural marble after smashing infiltrates the resin and pigments, and then using vacuum oscillation pressure cast wool (the material synthesis), to cut, and set the thick, grinding and polishing. If use general type resin, the material will be cracking phenomenon, a piece of the material cost about 12000 yuan. Some enterprise specially developed for low viscosity and high strength of stone, pressure molding resin hillock of artificial hillock stone has high hardness, strength, luster, bibulous rate is low, such as wear-resisting characteristics, can satisfy enterprise export demand. Yunfu derived directly ShiSha Anna open the market later, appear in short supply situation. Three short years, yunfu district derived directly by the original stone production line article number increased to several dozen. Shanghai, hangzhou, Beijing new decorate each big market ground decorates material has been derived directly by stone. Artificial stone hillock at present have not reached the same household names like ceramic tile, but a potential market.

Artificial and Artificial stone production comprised hillock, technology is more similar different is the use of packing is high wear resistance of quartz sand and quartz powder, packing content reaches as high as 90% or so. In addition to the hardness as much as 7 resistance of performance and its resistance to scratch unclean, water resistant, the function such as fire prevention decided it is Artificial stone plate of the development of a direction. This years, domestic production line of artificial horse comprised surge, use smoke vacuum pouring production enterprise with dozens of comprised, but the difference is bigger, quality equipment is differ. Some products more: although higher hardness bubbles, but as wall ground material easily, excellent comprised cost $6 million to production line more than 1000 dollars, with the vacuum pressure, its craft synthesis shock at the baked tower curing, product contains quantity of cement is low, dense texture, a few good quality without porosity products has been close to the Italian artificial comprised standards.

Foreign brand and the market situation

Foreign brands are comprised the li shi, kay SaShi, xi shi lung, employing things is connected, sanofi-aventis's stone, Mr M plus, PKL, bao guang long, TeCai, kang, parker, etc. The world of professional production manufacturer comprised only 16 home, have the beautiful stone article 20 production line, 90% of the products for the European market, accounting for 70% of the American market, but is still far from meet the demand of the market. South Korea production factory exports comprised the European and American market every year reached 130 million us dollars. Abroad application has been very extensive, comprised mainly have the kitchen mesa, toilet mesa, bar table, the ground and wall, etc. The international market have more mature in Australia, Europe and the United States and other countries and regions. A year of Australia comprised of global consumption of about a third, followed by the United States and Canada. The Middle East and southeast Asia market growth comprised significant. Abroad application scope comprised in the constantly changing, ambry industry is a new determination of the stones alternative products, the ground stone decoration scale also expanded significantly.

At present the two industry is the development trend of: arts and crafts, species diversity from the traditional family decoration class, Christmas gifts to the garden of miniascape, character sculpture, crystal, imitation jade, sandstone products change; From the simple to all development at home and abroad and export. Artificial stone and artificial hillock comprised will become a new window, domestic some do before ceramic tile, micro SPAR and natural stone manufacturers have started to enter Artificial stone industry. Some of the enterprise to develop low viscosity and high strength artificial stone resin, and in the resin, fillers, additives and molding process several aspects the technology application design packages ". Crafts, Artificial stone industry in our country has just begun, is a huge market potential.
