Engineered Quartz is a synthetic material made from more than 90% natural quartz stone powder combined with glue and additives. Natural quartz is the hardest mineral after diamond. Therefore, this type of stone possesses outstanding durability, scratch resistance, and impact resistance.
Engineered Quartz is produced by mixing sand and quartz stone powder with polyester liquid resin, colorants, and additives in certain proportions. This mixture is then poured into a mold and pressed under high pressure through a vacuum vibro-compression machine to form a stone slab with high density and a perfect bonding surface. Next, the plate after vibration and pressing is put into the furnace to complete the production process.
Then, the stone panels are ground and polished to create shine and smoothness, enhancing light reflection. Finally, they are cut into standard-sized sheets and packaged ready for use.
The production process of Engineered Quartz requires strict compliance with technical standards and strict control of input materials to ensure products of the highest quality.
