Slate is known as "Ferrari in the design world", "Guinness in the decoration industry", and "Wolverine in the building materials industry". It even set off a wave of "rock slabs".
Slate, its English description is SINTERED STONE, translated as sintered dense stone. Therefore, two important characteristics are expressed: sintered compactness and originated from stone.
It is made of natural raw materials through a special process, with the help of a press of more than 10,000 tons (more than 15,000 tons), combined with advanced production technology, and fired at a high temperature above 1200 ℃, which can withstand cutting, drilling, grinding and other processing Process's super large-size new porcelain material.
It should be pointed out that ceramic slabs ≠ rock slabs. Companies that can produce large slabs may not be able to produce rock slabs. Compared with ceramic slabs, rock slabs can be drilled, polished, and cut more easily, and are suitable for various shapes. Although the shape of ceramic slabs is similar to that of rock slabs, there are certain differences in material properties and functions.
Rock slabs can not only decorate walls and floors, but can also be applied to daily home decorations such as kitchen and bathroom spaces, sinks, coffee tables, dining tabletops, cabinets, etc., with various shapes and a high sense of design.
What are the advantages of rock slabs in all types of stone?
Advantage:
(1) Scratch resistance: Mohs' hardness exceeds 6 degrees, which can resist scratches and attempts to scratch.
(2) Corrosion resistance: resistance to various chemical substances, including solutions, disinfectants, etc.
(3) Easy to clean: only need to wipe with a wet towel to clean up, no special maintenance requirements, simple and fast cleaning.
(4) Antifouling: The water seepage rate of one ten thousandth is a new indicator in the field of man-made building materials. While stains cannot penetrate, there is no room for bacteria to breed.
(5) Fire resistance and high temperature resistance: Direct contact with high temperature objects will not deform, A1 grade fireproof rock slab will not produce any physical changes (shrinkage, cracking, discoloration), and will not emit any gas or odor.
(6) Safety and sanitation: It can be in direct contact with food, pure natural materials, 100% recyclable, non-toxic, non-radiation, and comprehensive consideration of human sustainable development needs, health and environmental protection.
(7) All-round application: Breaking the application boundary, marching across the border from decorative materials to applied materials, design, processing and application are more diverse and extensive, and meet high-standard application requirements.
(8) Flexible customization: The texture of the rock slab is rich and varied, and it can be customized according to user needs. Attachment: Performance comparison table of different decorative materials (according to the test results of different materials)
Although rock slabs have many advantages, due to the rapid development of rock slabs, there are limitations in technology, and there are also many flaws in rock slabs. These flaws are not summarized by me, but some weaknesses summarized by experts in the industry. In what ways is it reflected?
1. The characteristics of rock slabs are relatively brittle
The brittleness of rock slab products is one of the weaknesses of rock slabs, resulting in insufficient processing performance, easy to produce cutting cracks during processing, and sometimes not impact-resistant, posing safety risks.
2. The rock slab has higher hardness
The cracks produced during the processing of the rock slab are not repairable like stone, but the cracks appear in the rock slab, and the fracture can hardly be repaired, and it can only be scrapped and redone. This is quite annoying in rock slab processing.
Rock slabs have high hardness and are harder than natural and man-made stones, which makes it difficult to process, difficult to cut, chamfer and edging, and long processing time.
3. Rock slabs are not easy to pave
The large product size of the rock slab, coupled with the problem of variable edge chipping, has also brought some troubles to the construction. The overall leveling is difficult during installation. At present, the professional technical equipment is not enough and the technical level of the construction personnel is also gaping.
4. Rock slabs are not easy to transport
The entry of large-size slate products into the site is restricted by the site, and the impact of each space makes it very troublesome to transport at the construction site.
The product specifications of rock slabs are oversized and the packaging is troublesome. Poor packaging can easily lead to damage to the rock slabs.
5. Rock slabs are not easy to sell
Agents, suppliers, factories, and customers have multi-channel marketing. It is very difficult to protect the market and focus on different channels.
6. It is difficult to create three-dimensional products with rock slabs
It is difficult to create three-dimensional products, and the slabs can only be based on flat products.
The rock slab is a large slab, and it is destined to not be able to process three-dimensional shapes such as reliefs and lines.
The emergence of other new materials such as rock slabs is unavoidable. As a new building material, the advantages and disadvantages follow. The formula of the corresponding diamond tools needs to be continuously adjusted to match the most suitable tool for the characteristics of the rock slab. It's comfortable.
