The product is wrapped with more than 90% natural quartz or granite mixed with an ultra-high performance resin and special pigments. The kitchen countertop board made of quartz stone has no radioactive elements that are harmful to the human body based on ensuring high hardness, high-temperature resistance, acid and alkali resistance, impact resistance, and easy cleaning. Usually, the quartz stone plate contains up to 93% of natural quartz, and also contains resin, mineral pigment, and other additive components. The surface polishing process becomes quartz stone. The surface of this board is as hard as granite, the color is as rich as marble, and the structure is as anti-corrosion and anti-fouling as glass. and the finished shape is as perfect as artificial stone. Its main material is quartz. Quartz stone has no radiation and high hardness, which makes quartz kitchen countertops scratch-free, polluted, hot, not old, non-toxic, and non-radiative.

The artificial granite kitchen countertop is made of unsaturated polyester resin as a binder and is made of marble powder sand or granite fragments with a binder. Ordinary granite, also known as artificial marble. There are two production methods: tablet production and block production, both of which have their advantages and disadvantages. The former is superior in diagonal and flatness, while the latter is superior in color uniformity, and can also be used for special-shaped processing, such as cylindrical processing. On the market, there are many block-type production methods for granite. Most granite kitchen countertops use organic pigments of different colors. Organic pigments are not resistant to sunlight, moisture, acid, and alkali, and are easy to fade or even discolor. Moreover, most granite kitchen countertops have high glue content. On the one hand, the stone texture is not strong, and the decorative effect is not high-end. Generally, it contains volatile toxic gas, which is harmful to the human body. Granite made of marble powder is not acid-resistant, because its main component is CaCO3, which easily reacts with acid and decomposes; the hardness of marble powder and binder is very low, so the hardness of granite is also very low, generally less than molybdenum. The hardness is 3, so it is not wear-resistant, scratch-resistant, and easy to scratch.
