Our most common materials in home decoration are marble, granite, quartzite, artificial stone and acrylic. And the more commonly used countertop is quartz stone, because it is the perfect combination of man-made stone and natural stone. Will quartzite burst in use? Meeting! Because quartzite is a brittle polymer composite material, it also has the characteristics of thermal expansion and cold shrinkage. It also has certain mechanical properties such as shrinkage stress, impact toughness, elongation at break, etc. when the material can not bear the internal stress caused by thermal expansion and cold shrinkage and is seriously impacted by the external, it will crack. Winter is the high occurrence season of quartzite cracking, and excessive temperature difference is the most common cause of quartzite cracking.
We should first understand quartz, which is synthesized by 93% quartz and 7% resin and other trace elements. Quartzite is a kind of abbreviation for the plate produced by quartzite manufacturers. Quartzite plate must go through vacuum high pressure and high vibration. Vacuumizing must meet the requirements of more than - 0.098mpa. In addition, there will be a large number of air holes. The higher the tonnage of the production press is, the higher the density of the plate is, the better the quality of the plate is. Only when the density of quartz reaches 2.65/cm3 can it be qualified. Quartzite needs to be cured at high temperature, because in the production of quartzite plate, curing agent will be added, and high temperature curing volatilization is required, and natural curing will be the biggest cause of cracking.
How can we prevent it in our life? Don't all the best products need maintenance. Expansion joints shall be reserved during the installation of quartzite. As we said before, quartzite has the characteristics of thermal expansion and cold contraction, especially in winter. It is also because of the thermal expansion and contraction force to avoid the explosion caused by local sudden heating, so the thermal insulation pad should be placed when contacting with overheated objects. It is forbidden to strike the table top, especially the suspended part. When it comes to this, many people should wonder if quartzite is explosion resistant? What Xiaobian wants to say is that toughened glass is also anti-collision, so why can it be broken when it is knocked at the corner. This shows that all products have their own weaknesses!
