In the decoration of home kitchens or hotel bathrooms, we often see very beautiful and durable artificial stone countertops or stone tiles. For these artificial stone countertops, most use quartz stone countertops. It can be seen how popular this material is and how much people love it. It also speaks to the durability and utility of this material. So how is artificial quartz slab made?

How popular this material is in the market right now as more and more customers demand and import artificial quartz stone slabs and countertops. Due to the huge demand for quartz stone countertops in the market, the number of quartz stone slabs imported from China has increased year by year, which has also prompted more quartz stone factories to open more production lines.

So let's take a look at the detailed production process of quartz stone slabs.

1. Prepare the ingredients and crush
In order to produce high quality quartz slabs, we have to find high quality quartz sand from mines. As long as there are high-quality raw materials, you can ensure that the quality of the quartz plate is also perfect. In addition, resins and pigments are also the most important raw materials.
After selecting the raw materials, we want to crush different sizes of gravel and put them into the raw material formula container together with other raw materials.

2. Mixing and stirring
In the professional quartz stone material mixing machine, after the professional processing of the machine, various materials are mixed together to better fuse together, which is convenient for subsequent processing procedures. For different types of quartz stone slabs, choose different types of machines or manual discharge.
Professional machines are automatically loaded, mainly producing some solid-color quartz slates and some granular types of quartz slates.

3. Vacuum compressor suppression
Artificial quartz stone is an artificial stone formed by die casting with quartz sand as the main filler. The hardness of the plate can reach up to 7 Mohs hardness, high temperature resistance of 300 °, beautiful color and so on. Vacuum compression is a very important step. In this step, the quality of the vacuum compressor determines the density of the slab, which has a lot to do with the operation of the personnel. The time of vacuuming and pressing also directly affects the density of the slab. We have to ensure that the vacuum is -0.098Mpa, then there can be no micropores.

4. Quartz slab cooling
After the previous step of curing furnace treatment, we need to cool the quartz slate. It needs to be cooled for 1-2 days in daily life, so that the product can have better quality assurance in the subsequent polishing process.

5. Machine Polished Quartz Plate
After the above steps, we got a hard quartz stone slab, but the surface needs to be polished with high light to get a beautiful and wear-resistant product. This step requires a professional polishing machine to process it to ensure the quality of the product.

6. Cutting of Quartz Slate
After the surface of the quartz stone plate is polished, it should be cut. In addition, popular standard sizes are 3200/1600mm, 3400/1800mm, etc., allowing the slab to have precise dimensions. In general, professional factories can also be customized according to customer needs.
