Harm of inferior quartz stone cabinet countertops How to distinguish quartz stone countertops

Quartz stone countertops are popular now, and they are also a high-end countertop product, so the appearance of inferior quartz stone countertops is more frequent, which makes many people who like quartz stone countertops flinch. But before we understand the harm of inferior quartz stone countertops, let's first understand quartz stone countertops.

Quartz stone cabinet countertop

Quartz stone countertop is a new technology artificial stone synthesized from high-quality quartz stone, and its manufacturing process is produced by a set of most advanced patented BRETONESTONESYSTEM. This product contains more than 90% natural quartz stone or Shi Gang, combined with ultra-high performance resin and special pigment.

Its main material is timely, quartz stone has no radiation and high hardness, which makes the quartz stone countertop scratch-free (Mohs hardness 7) and stain-free (vacuum manufacturing). Dense and non-porous), will not burn out (timely). Resistant to 1300℃) high temperature, not old (30 polishing processes need no maintenance), non-toxic and non-radiation (NSF certification, no heavy metals, direct contact with food). Quartz stone countertops have various colors, and Gobi series, crystal series, granite series and shining star series are more distinctive.

It can be widely used in public buildings (hotels, restaurants, banks, hospitals, exhibitions, laboratories, etc.). ) and home decoration (kitchen countertops, washstands, kitchen walls, dining tables, coffee tables, window sills, door covers, etc.). ), which is an environmentally friendly and green new building interior decoration material without radioactive pollution. Harm of inferior quartz stone

Non-wear-resistant powder is easy to cause respiratory diseases.

Some unscrupulous merchants in the market use inferior plates with too many bubbles, weak impermeability and insufficient hardness for production, which are easy to break, wear-resistant and easy to fall off. Long-term use by consumers may cause respiratory diseases by inhaling too much powder.

Long-term volatilization of residual formaldehyde may cause cancer.

In order to reduce costs, some unscrupulous merchants add glue containing formaldehyde as a solvent. After being processed into a countertop, excessive formaldehyde will still remain, and the strong formaldehyde smell will be continuously volatilized within 3-5 years. Indoor air is not ventilated or the temperature is too high, which will accelerate the volatilization of such toxic substances. Long-term exposure is very likely to cause cancer.

Organic solvents and heavy metals can harm the digestive system.

Some unscrupulous merchants use inferior inorganic pigments containing heavy metals such as lead or cadmium in the production process, and directly add organic solvents. After these inferior quartz stone plates enter the home, they will pass through harmful substances such as heavy metals,

As a carrier, food directly enters the digestive system, which is harmful to human health. How to judge the quality of quartz stone cabinet countertops

Hardness is also an identification of wear resistance. The simple method is to use a steel knife, but the key can't play the role of identification. Take "white crystal" as an example. The steel knife crossed, leaving fake quartz stone, because the hardness of the plate is not as good as that of steel.

The surface was cut by a steel knife, revealing the white inside. When the pure quartz stone is scratched with a steel knife, only black marks will be left. It is because the steel knife can't scrape the quartz stone, but it leaves traces of steel. One black and one white, true or false. Quartz stone countertops are made of 94% timely and 6% resin, and the hardness reaches 7 degrees, while granite is made of marble powder and resin, so the hardness is generally 4-6 degrees. Simply put, quartz stone is harder than granite, and it is scratch-resistant and wear-resistant.

In pursuit of profit, inferior quartz stone production enterprises ignore consumers' rights and interests. Although this kind of plate is cheap, it seriously harms the health of consumers. Therefore, consumers must be cautious when purchasing quartz stone countertop plates, so as to avoid buying "toxic plates" by mistake, introducing long-term toxic sources to their families and endangering their lives and health.
