Artificial quartz stone industry has broad prospects
Building decorative stone can be divided into two categories: natural stone and artificial stone. As a kind of resin-type artificial stone, artificial quartz stone is made of unsaturated polyester resin (UPR) as the binder and quartz sand and quartz powder as the main filling materials.
Artificial quartz stone inherits the characteristics of natural granite, which is hard, corrosion-resistant, wear-resistant and beautiful in appearance, and overcomes the shortcomings of natural stone, such as non-renewable, poor stain resistance, and radioactivity in some types, so it is widely used in With kitchen, sanitary and traditional architectural decorative stone has the advantages of zero formaldehyde, no radiation, moderate hardness, good stain resistance, clean and environmental protection.
Artificial quartz stone is a new type of building decoration material that appeared relatively late. In recent years, with the maturity of production and manufacturing technology and the significant improvement of design and color design capabilities, the market share of artificial quartz stone has increased significantly. According to Freedonia statistics, from 1999 to 2016, the global sales of artificial quartz stone to end consumers increased at a compound annual growth rate of 17.9%, which was significantly higher than the overall 4.9% compound annual growth rate of surface materials. The surface material forms a certain degree of substitution effect.
