Why does quartz stone burst

The most common home improvement stones are marble, quartz stone, artificial stone and acrylic. And the favorite for countertops should be quartz because it is the perfect combination of artificial stone and natural stone. 

Will the quartz stone explode in use? 

What I want to tell you is yes! Because quartz stone is a brittle polymer composite material, it also has the characteristics of thermal expansion and cold contraction, and also has certain mechanical properties such as shrinkage stress, impact toughness, elongation at break and so on. Cracks occur under stress and when subjected to severe external impact. Winter is a high season for quartz stone cracking, and excessive temperature difference is the most common cause of quartz stone cracking.

We should first understand quartz stone, which is artificially synthesized by 93% quartz and 7% resin and other trace elements. Quartz stone is an abbreviation for the slab produced by quartz stone manufacturers. Quartz stone slab must be subjected to vacuum, high pressure and high vibration. The vacuuming must reach the requirement of -0.098Mpa or more, and there will be a lot of pores. The higher the tonnage of the production press, the higher the density of the slab, the better the quality of the slab, and the density of the quartz stone must reach 2.65/cubic centimeter. qualified. Quartz stone needs to be cured at high temperature, because the quartz stone slab will be added with a curing agent in the production, which requires high temperature curing and volatilization, and natural curing will be the biggest culprit of cracking.
