What is the Repair Method for Quartz Stone Cracks?

As an Engineered Quartz Solid Surfaces Factory, share with you. Artificial quartz stone is also called synthetic stone and recycled stone. Because the quartz content in the plate is as high as 93% or more, the production process and equipment are very different from ordinary artificial stone. It is independently called quartz stone by quartz stone manufacturers. Compared with ordinary artificial stone, quartz stone increases the hardness, wear resistance, scratch resistance, high temperature resistance, penetration resistance, and rich color of the plate. Compared with natural stone, the surface is smoother, without small cracks and pores, and anti-cracking. More importantly, Custom Quartz Stone Slabs is non-toxic, non-radiative, and zero formaldehyde, which is the main reason why quartz stone can quickly occupy the decorative stone market.

However, the biggest problem of quartz stone in use is cracking, because quartz stone is a brittle polymer composite material, which also has the characteristics of thermal expansion and contraction, and also has certain shrinkage stress, impact toughness, elongation at break, etc. Mechanical properties, when the material can not withstand the internal stress caused by thermal expansion and contraction and severe external impact will crack. Common causes of cracking:

1. Improper opening during processing, the sheet may collapse during opening and cause the appearance of small cracks. 2. Opening holes, basin holes and stove holes should be rounded to avoid uneven cracking during use. 3. Expansion joints should be reserved for installation to avoid cracking due to thermal expansion and contraction. 4. Avoid direct contact with hot solvents. The melting point of quartz is 1300 and does not represent the heating degree of the plate. 5. To prevent heavy blows, the plate has a certain brittleness and it is also a major cause of cracking.

After the cracking occurs, if the quartz stone cracks, if it is not caused by improper self-operation, you can apply for after-sales and replace the new countertop within one year. If it is caused by improper operation, a professional should be sought for repair. First of all, the cracks should be embedded and repaired with the same color resin glue of the manufacturer. After the cracks are embedded, the resin glue is added with quartz powder to stir and fill, and then repaired and waxed. If the gap is too large, it can be repaired by removing the pad and polishing it and embedding it in the gap.
