In the past two years, Rock Beam Made a strong debut in the home furnishing field and became the first choice for home furnishing panels. So how are slates produced? What material is rock slab made of? What are the uses of rock slabs? Today, Zhongtao Jun will give you detailed answers one by one.
How are rock slabs produced
There are three major raw materials for the production of rock slabs: feldspar, quartz, and clay. Slate is made of these three natural inorganic raw materials, using vacuum extrusion molding with a special process and an automatic closed computer temperature-controlled roller kiln at a high temperature of 1,300 degrees.
What material is rock slab made of
The English name of rock slab is "SINTERED STONE", which is translated as "sintered dense stone", but there is still a big controversy about "what material the rock slab is made of". As early as 2017, the concept of rock slabs existed abroad; however, domestic rock slabs first emerged in the ceramic industry. Are rock slabs a ceramic material? In fact, the definition of rock slab in the industry is roughly: a new type of super-large-sized porcelain material that can withstand various high-intensity processing processes. That is to say, the material of rock slabs is similar to ceramics but its performance is better than ceramics. Like ceramic slabs, they are inorganic non-metallic element slabs with superior performance and are fired at high temperature. Therefore, slate is not a natural stone but it has the advantages of stone and at the same time has the superior properties of ceramic materials. Slate is a material that is resistant to high temperatures, acid and alkali, high strength, no radiation, and no pollution. Therefore, slate has a wide range of uses.
What are the uses of rock slabs
The thinnest thickness of existing rock slabs is only 3mm, the thickest can reach 3cm, and the maximum specification can be 3600×1600mm. Compared with traditional decorative materials and board materials, slate materials have good physical properties, flexible customization of thickness specifications, and excellent decorative effects. Slate slabs have become the first choice for home space applications. Slate slabs can be used on walls and floors like ceramic tiles, as background walls; they can even be used It can be used to customize desktops and countertops; it can also be used to customize various cabinets and cabinet doors; it is safe, non-toxic, high temperature resistant and easy to clean, making it even more suitable for use in kitchen spaces. However, the material of slate has higher requirements for cutting and processing quality. More professional processing services are needed to realize the processing and application of slate. At the same time, considering that slate will enter the field of customized home and furniture, the problems of slate must be solved in time. Processing and cutting issues, otherwise it will be difficult to achieve seamless connection with the needs of consumers across the country.
After reading the above explanations about rock slabs, do you know something about the production, materials and uses of rock slabs?
