Artificial stone industry is mainly concentrated in Guangdong, Fujian, Shanghai, Jiangsu and other places, as fewer and fewer natural sources of minerals produced, and restrictions on the blind exploitation of this man-made stone demand surge. Guangdong, Fujian, the Xiamen area is very large man-made stone market. The past two years to investigate both the market and found that man-made stone products on the market type the following:

    1. Dongguan, shenzhen, near the resin with artificial stone to do mosaic Desktop on the back of the enhancement layer, all export products.

    2. Zhongshan transmittance near the stone, the United States Magic Stones and some transparent shade.

    3. Zhongshan, Heshan, Foshan, near the artificial stone kitchen and bathroom.

    Four. Stone, china Motion, Wealthy stone, European School, Octavia Code and other companies to do artificial stone, the resin with artificial stone resin accounts for the Guangdong market volume of more than 70%. Guangdong to do such artificial stone manufacturers is very large, the manufacturers of the product quality is uneven, the standard plate (2440mm × 760mm × 12.7mm) is unbelievable low price of aluminum hydroxide powder used as raw material. Number of low-cost sheet to calcium powder as filler, product deformation, cracking, stain resistance, poor water resistance defects.

    5. Shanghai, Fujian, Guangdong granite and man-made artificial quartz stone.

    Also known as project man-made granite stone, granite popular is based on two or more after entering into the crushed natural marble resin and pigment, and then cast using the vacuum oscillation pressure synthetic wool (party materials), and then cutting and thickness, grinding and polishing. If general-purpose resins, there will probably side cracking phenomenon, a side expected to cost about 12,000 yuan. Some enterprises have developed a special low-viscosity, high strength granite resin, pressing man-made granite high hardness, strength, good gloss, low water absorption, wear characteristics, to meet corporate demand for exports. Yunfu Stone Magic Double Loading artificial Kong open market after a shortage situation. Short period of 3 years, Yunfu areas of artificial stone production line from the original post a few rise to dozens of. Shanghai, Hangzhou, Beijing and other major shopping centers to the newly renovated floor decoration materials have been used artificial granite. Artificial granite tiles as yet not reached the same household, but the market potential.

    Artificial quartz stone and artificial stone production process more similar to the post, is the use of different filler is the high abrasion of quartz sand and quartz powder, filler content up to 90%. Mohs hardness of up to 7 anti-scratch properties, its stain resistance, water, fire and other properties of the decision is the development of artificial stone plate in one direction. In recent years, China launched the artificial quartz stone production line surge, with quartz vacuum casting production has more than a dozen companies, but the facilities are great differences in the quality varies. Some more refined bubble: Although the high hardness, but the material is easy to use as a wall to deformation, excellent price quartz stone production line six million yuan to more than 1000 ten thousand dollars, using vacuum pressure shock synthesis, the process used in the drying temperature Tower curing, the product gel content is low, dense texture without pores, a small number of good quality products have been close to the Italian standard of artificial quartz.

    Foreign brands and market overview

    Foreign brands Sally quartz stone, Caesar stone, hi Shihlong, benefit things through, Sai Nuosi pass, Omega, PKL, Po Kwong Lung, special dishes here, Compaq, etc.. Worldwide manufacturer specializing in the production of quartz stone is only 16, has 20 Sally Stone production line, the product accounted for 90% of the European market, accounting for 70% of the American market, but still far from meeting market demand. South Korean factories producing quartz European market on an annual export of up to 1.3 million. Foreign applications have a very wide range of quartz, the main kitchen countertops, bathroom countertops, bar, floor and external walls, etc.. More mature international markets Australia, Europe and the United States and other countries and regions. Spending a year in Australia which accounts for the global quartz about 1 / 3, followed by the United States and Canada. Middle East and Southeast Asia, significant market growth in quartz. Quartz abroad range of applications is constantly changing, the cabinet industry in the quartz Shizheng Cheng as the new alternative, the proportion of ground stone on substantial growth.

    Current trends in these two sectors are: species diversity of arts and crafts, home furnishings from the traditional, Christmas gift bonsai class to the garden, figurines, crystal, jade, sandstone and other products change; from simple export to foreign Qi development. Artificial stone and artificial quartz stone Kong will be the highlight of a new development, before doing some domestic ceramic tile, ceramic stone, natural stone manufacturers have already begun to enter the artificial stone industry. Some enterprises have developed a low viscosity, high strength man-made stone resin, and resins, fillers, additives, and molding process design aspects of technology “package.” Crafts, artificial stone industry in China has just started, is a potential huge market.
