Why is billiard table factory keen on bluestone? What are the advantages of green slate?

When it comes to the material of billiards table, I know a little about it, and I associate it with bluestone. Then, have you ever wondered why the green slate will gradually become a keen material for the billiard table factory? What are the advantages of green slate? Don't worry, let's have a look.

What is a green slate?

Celadon slate, commonly known as celadon slate, is scientifically called limestone according to Baidu Encyclopedia. It is the most widely distributed rock in water rock, and its main components are calcium carbonate, clay, silicon oxide and magnesium oxide. At present, the main producing areas of this kind of rock in China are concentrated in Jiujiang, Taizhou, Wuxian and Beijing Petrochemical Zone.

In the past, bluestone tablets were often used on the ground and roof of gardens. Because of its simple style, it is often used as a local indoor wall decoration. In addition, after simple processing, green slate can also be used for building dado, ground pavement, courtyard railings (boards), steps and other scenes.

The commonly used green slate has many colors, such as bean green, dark bean green, cyan with grayish white crystals, etc. According to the different processing technology, slate can also be divided into different categories, such as coarse wool board, fine wool board, chopping board and so on. With the progress of processing technology, a new decorative material-bluestone culture board has been developed in recent years. Pure natural pollution-free, high quality, durable, with high ornamental value and collection value.

What are the characteristics of bluestone tablets?

Geographically, celadon slate belongs to limestone in sedimentary rocks, which has excellent properties such as thermal conductivity, firmness, water absorption, air tightness, sound insulation, polishing, good cementation and machinability, providing excellent conditions for the processing of celadon slate.

So, why can bluestone be the best material for billiard tables?

First of all, the characteristics of green slate are high density, uniform material, moderate hardness in slate, not easy to be brittle, easy to polish and good flatness.

Secondly, the bluestone slab is the best slate found to make billiard tables, and it is also the only slate recognized by the official billiard organization in the world. The three major billiard slate producing areas in the world are Jiangxi in China, Genoa in Italy and Minas Gerais in Brazil. The slates in these three places are moderate in hardness, which is convenient for high-precision grinding, and the flatness error is ≤0.05mm, which ensures the accurate placement of the ball.

What are the advantages of green slate compared with marble billiard tables on the market?

1, the marble slab will make different sounds when the ball rolls.

2. When the weather is wet, the marble slab with high water absorption will increase the friction when the ball rolls and affect the movement.

3, pull rods, jump rods, marble slabs with less elasticity, there will be a little deviation when walking.

4. The deformation resistance of bluestone slab is higher than that of marble slab.

5. The bluestone slab has high density, durability, wear resistance and high hardness.

So having said that, do you still want to choose your own pool table?
