Artificial stone solid sheet features
1. Strong plasticity, variety of colors, patterns, colors, can be cut, drilled.
2. High quality, stamping resistance, high strength, no radiation, easy to clean, anti-aging.
3. Can be refurbished, the product can be bonded, polished, polished. This product can be applied to cabinets and washstands in homes, public buildings, hotels, and restaurants.
Types of artificial stone
Man-made stone made of aluminum hydroxide, mineral powder, glue, unsaturated resin blended in a certain proportion of the polymer material. There are several other categories:
1: artificial stone with methyl methacrylate (MMA) as the main material, generally called acrylic artificial stone.
2: Artificial stone made of MMA and mixed resin. This kind of artificial stone is not widely used and produced at present. Only a few manufacturers produce it.
3: The artificial stone consisting of low-cost resin and calcium carbonate (substituted aluminum hydroxide) is inexpensive.
Artificial stone identification method
Here, we will analyze some common methods of distinguishing artificial stones:
First of all, if you have just come into contact with such materials, it is very difficult for them to be good or bad. Consumers only have constant contact with various brands, and the quality can be felt naturally. I generally use the following methods:
1: feel, you can feel the surface flatness, smoothness and size of the pores
2: Observe, look at the brightness, if the surface is larger, it will not be very bright
3: Open the cabinet to see if there is no pad, if not, you can smell the pungent odor.
4: Find a sample to see if it is wearable
Artificial stone countertop processing technology
Because man-made stone belongs to a polymer material polymer, its plasticity is relatively strong, it can achieve seamless splicing, and can also be processed into a variety of shapes, such as retaining water and waterproof lines. However, some processes do not pass, and stitching can cause joints to cause strong cracks in the future and cracks easily, and seams can be very ugly. In addition artificial stone is conducive to maintenance, stains can not be cleaned when the surface layer can be polished, broken and easy maintenance.
Because of the characteristics of artificial stone, special attention should be paid when using it. Do not allow it to come in contact with hot objects, and do not touch high temperature objects and then contact low temperature objects. This will cause deformation. No high-strength operation can be performed directly on the table, and direct cutting or knocking is not allowed.

How to maintain artificial stone countertops
Daily maintenance of artificial stone countertops should pay attention to:
(1) The duration of continuous cooking should not be too long, and should not exceed two hours.
(2) It is forbidden to directly heat the cooking utensils (such as pressure cookers and enamels) subjected to high-temperature cooking on the countertop to prevent local damage on the countertops; place a heat-insulating mat on the countertop.
(3) Do not place the item on the table in a certain position for a long time, so as to avoid the color difference of the table caused by the light.
(4) All kitchen countertops should not be used directly for cutting boards, and should be placed on the cutting board.
The countertops are solid and durable. If you accidentally leave a knife mark, you can use a 1000-grit water sandpaper to gently wipe the surface according to the depth of the tool marks, and then use a scouring cloth to handle it again.
(5) The surface of the table should be kept as dry as possible because the water contains a large amount of bleaching agent and scale. After a long time of residence, the color of the countertop becomes lighter, which affects the appearance. If this happens, wipe the surface with 1200 water-sand paper, wipe it and spray it.
(6) Prevent strong chemicals from contacting the surface of the countertop (such as strong acid cleaner, alcohol, water, paint remover, etc.). If any of these items come into contact, rinse immediately with plenty of soap and water.
(7) If the surface finish is a mirror finish, first polish with 800--1200 sand paper, then use a polishing wax and a wool polishing ring to polish with a 1500-2000 rpm low-speed polisher, and then clean the table with a clean cotton cloth. Small white marks can be used with food oil or spray BiLiZhu.
Maintenance tips:
1 Most stains do not pose a threat to artificial stone
Artificial stone is a solid, hairless pore dense stone material that resists all types of stain erosion. Most stains such as food, cooking oil, soy sauce, vinegar, alcohol, iodine, lemon oil, lipstick, shoe polish, ink, etc. Stone does not pose a threat, its durability is already excellent, maintenance is easy without waxing, and cost-saving features make it widely applicable to homes and commercial spaces.
2 daily cleaning
Water stains or small stains can be removed immediately with a damp cloth and a small amount of household cleaner or soapy water. Severe stains or cuts. Use a household stain remover and a tea towel to keep the surface shiny.
3 strong stains, cigarette burns or a small amount of cuts
Use sandpaper to add water to remove stains or cuts, and polish with a polishing wax. For more serious injuries, contact an artificial stone processing factory. They have the skills and equipment to repair the scars.
4 A new look
Since man-made stone is a solid material and has a unique appearance, after a few years, the way to keep the man-made stone a new look is to refinish the surface and immediately restore its original appearance.
