What is the difference between nano crystallized stone and natural marble?
Nano crystallized stone is a new type of decorative building material. Depending on the raw material and production process of nano crystallized glass, it can be divided into three types: non-porous nano crystallized stones, whole-body nano crystallized glass stones and composite nano glass stones.
Among them, non-porous nano crystallized stone, also known as artificial white marble, is a new type of advanced eco-friendly stone that outperforms common nano crystallized stone and natural stones in many physical and chemical metrics. Its greatest peculiarity is the absence of pores throughout the body, and the absence of impure spots. Other features include high gloss and zero water absorption and can be polished and refurbished. It is suitable for exterior walls, interior walls, ground, columns, wash basins, tables, and other luxury places. The thickness is between 1-35 millimeters, and the glossiness is over 95.
The biggest manufacturer of non-porous nano crystallized glass stone slabs in China is ZONVE.
The characteristics of nano crystallized glass stone
Texture
Nano crystallized stone is a material that forms by sintering and crystallizing at high temperatures, similar to granite. In terms of appearance texture, the surface finish of the polished plate is much higher than that of the stone (up to 90-120 glossiness units). More importantly, its peculiar nano glass stone structure allows light to be diffused by fine crystalline particles from any angle. Nano glass stone can evenly distribute the light to any angle (and no longer just concentrate on the reflection angle like the mirror). The board forms a soft sense of jade. And it is more glittering and translucent than the natural stone, which makes the building more colorful and shining.
Performance
More physical and chemical advantages than those of natural stone: Nano glass stone is sintered by special process under high temperature conditions similar to granite. In addition, it has uniform texture, high density and high hardness. With features of resistance to pressure and bending, it is better than natural stone. Nano crystallized stone is not easy to be damaged with such properties like wear resistance, which makes it outperform natural stone. Besides, it does not have cracks that natural stone has.
Quality of a material
The luster of the board is soft and crystal: the nano crystallized glass stone has a special microcrystalline structure and a special glass matrix structure. The texture is delicate, and the slab is crystal bright. And it can produce a diffuse reflection effect for the light coming in, making people feel soft and harmonious.
Color
The production process of microcrystalline stone can produce a variety of colors. According to the needs of use (such colors like: crystal white, beige, light gray and white flaxen is the most fashionable and popular). At the same time, it can make up for the defects of the difference of natural stone color. The product is widely used in hotels, office buildings, stations, airports and other places for internal and external decoration. It is more suitable for the family’s fancy decoration such as wall, floor, decoration board, furniture, basin panel, etc.
Acid and alkalinity resistance
Microcrystalline stone, as a chemically stable inorganic crystalline material, contains glass matrix structure. Its acid and alkali resistance and corrosion resistance are better than that of natural stone. Especially its weather resistance is more prominent. Importantly, it will not fade after long-term exposure to the sun, and the strength will not be reduced.
Excellent pollution resistance, easy to clean and maintain
Water absorption rate of microcrystalline stone is very low, and it closes to zero. A variety of dirty slurry and staining solution are not easy to penetrate. The dirt attached to the surface is fairly easy to clean, especially that it is convenient for building cleaning and maintenance.
A variety of shapes
Microcrystalline stone can be heated to form a variety of bent and curved plates as requested by customers. It has the advantage of a simple production process with low costs. As a result, it successfully avoids the large amount of curved stone processing that involves cutting and grinding, which is very time-consuming and is a waste of material and other resources.
Radiation free
Any radioactive elements are artificially removed from microcrystalline stone during the production. And it does not contain radiation damage to the human body as natural stone may do. It is the safest green environmental protection material in modern times.
Nano white porous microcrystalline
The main raw material of nano white non-porous microcrystalline stone is quartz sand. Its formation principle is a new generation of superior eco-friendly building finishing materials formed by simulating thousands of years of volcanic lava deposition. Molecular chains are recombined at a melting temperature of 1600. The whole body was white and crystal clear, like jade. It is free from impurities and pores. Nano crystallized glass stones also has great wear-resistance. Furthermore, it cannot be eroded by acids and alkalis. Nano crystallized stone can never get fade. Today, with its modern and minimalist style, it is widely used in kitchen and bathroom countertops, exterior walls, interior walls, floors, etc. ZONVE, the company manufacturing nano-white microcrystalline stone slabs, has more than 20 years of industry experience. And it has been recognized by customers for its excellent product quality and professional services. What’s more, its products are exported to Brazil, Italy, Spain, the United States, India and many other countries and regions.
The difference between microcrystalline stone and marble tiles
- Different surface materials
From the surface material point of view, nano crystallized stone is a natural inorganic material. With specific processes and high temperatures for sintering, its surface is a microcrystalline glass. The surface of marble tile, on the other hand, is an ordinary tile. As a result, the texture is formed through a full-glaze technique.
- Different in brightness
For microcrystalline stones, it is highly luminous. And its surface brightness is higher than that of marble tile. While the difference in brightness between the two materials is difficult to compare under normal conditions, in real applications for decorative purposes the difference manifests itself if one turns off the light.
- Scope of application
The glossiness of the microcrystalline stone surface makes it more suitable for luxurious rooms, such as some large halls, dining rooms, floors, bathrooms and other fancy places. And the variety of marble tile textures determines its suitability for living rooms, kitchens, bathrooms, walls and floors. The nano-crystal can handle a wide variety of situations with its style.
