Why is Golandi’s artificial stone better than Huaxun’s?

We can’t say that Golandi is better than Huaxun!

First of all, these are two stone brands. There are many series under these two brands. Grandi has a pure calcium powder series called Dangdang. It also has a pure aluminum powder series. The same goes for ECCOM.

The following is some knowledge from the Internet, I hope it will be helpful to you!

With the continuous expansion of the artificial stone market and the delay in the introduction of relevant national quality standards, the number of artificial stone products in the country is gradually increasing, and fake and shoddy products are also emerging one after another. One is to counterfeit well-known brands. Some manufacturers join forces to take advantage of consumers' lack of understanding of products. They target well-known brands on the market and use brand names to confuse the public, such as XX Dupont, XX Xingrong, etc., or use fake products to pass off as genuine products. To achieve the purpose of deception, one is to directly take advantage of consumers' greed for cheap. Some local and foreign unscrupulous manufacturers have started to use industrial resins instead of methyl methacrylate when the product quality is not up to par. Use calcium carbonate instead of aluminum hydroxide to hit the market at extremely low prices. Most of the artificial stones on the market now cost more than 200-300 yuan per meter. Such products do not have any quality or after-sales guarantee, and are easily broken, deformed, faded, and even toxic.

Another factor disrupting the artificial stone market is the human factor. Since the production process of artificial stone varies greatly, and the performance and characteristics are not completely consistent, the real performance advantages of artificial stone will not be reflected in all brands of artificial stone. The imported artificial stones currently on the market are relatively good in performance. For example, scratches on the surface of imported artificial stone are allowed to be polished with sandpaper, and the scratches on the surface will no longer be obvious if the user handles it by himself. However, many inferior domestic artificial stones obviously do not work, and the more they are polished, the worse they get. In addition, in terms of pigmentation, good-quality pure acrylic and composite acrylic artificial stones perform well, while low-quality ones are easily eroded and discolored by dyes or seasonings.

Authentic products: generally have ISO series international quality system certification and related inspection reports, using pure methyl methacrylate and aluminum hydroxide as raw materials, non-toxic and tasteless, good processability, not easy to break, made of high-grade or Imported pigments, the visual color is pure, natural, and textured. It is produced on an assembly line with large-scale imported equipment. The quality is stable, the color difference between batches is small, the material particles are fine, and it feels silky to the touch. It has good UV resistance, does not fade after long-term use, and has good service. Guaranteed, the product has an anti-counterfeiting mark and a 10- to 15-year quality assurance commitment. The market price is around 350 yuan to 800 yuan/meter, and some imported artificial stones are even more expensive.

Inferior products: Use low-grade industrial resin and calcium carbonate as raw materials, which are toxic and smelly, have poor processability, and are easy to break and deform. They use low-grade pigments. The visual color is turbid and dark, and the surface has a plastic texture. It is small. Mainly equipment or soil equipment, the quality is unstable, the color difference between batches is large, the material particles are large, the hand feels rough, and the light resistance is not good. It usually starts to fade in one or two years. It generally relies on small stores for sales, and the market price is chaotic. Generally less than 350 yuan/meter. During the specific purchase process, you can refer to the following tips:

At first glance: the color of the visual sample is pure and not turbid, the surface does not have a plastic-like texture, and there are no small particles on the back of the board. pores.

Second smell: No pungent chemical smell.

Three touches: The surface of the sample feels silky when touched by hand, with no astringency and no obvious unevenness.

Four strokes: Use your fingernails to scratch the surface of the board without any obvious scratches.

Five-touch: Two identical samples are knocked against each other and are not easily broken.

Six checks: Check whether there are laser inkjet codes and anti-counterfeiting marks on the back of the board.

The following introduces you to several common artificial stones and their characteristics.

Pure acrylic board

The main material is methyl methacrylate (MMA, the main material for dentures) and high-quality aluminum hydroxide powder, which are mixed and polymerized. No resin, just methacrylate. The product's colorfulness, consistency of internal and external quality, environmental protection and integrity of the finished product are integrated into one. At the same time, it has the characteristics of high hardness, good strength, impermeability and discoloration, not easy to crack, and stable color; it is the best choice for kitchen countertops. Best choice.

Composite acrylic artificial stone

This is a substitute for high-quality resin boards. The material composition is to add about 20% acrylic, 65% aluminum hydroxide and particles, and others to high-quality resin. Material accounts for about 2% (depending on different colors). Composite acrylic combines the advantages of resin boards and pure acrylic boards.

It has the elegance of natural marble, the hardness of granite and the delicacy and warmth of wood. It is also colorful, non-radioactive and safe to use; the price is much lower than pure acrylic. This is also a type of countertop recommended by major cabinet brands.

Resin boards

This type of product is relatively common on the market. The quality of the products varies greatly, and the prices vary greatly. High-quality resin boards are polymerized after mixing high-quality resin, aluminum hydroxide, natural mineral particles, natural pigments, pearlescent powder, and curing agents. It is sufficient to meet the needs of family kitchen countertops and has the characteristics of high quality and low price. However, it is easy to absorb water and change color. Dark-colored boards will become lighter or white after absorbing water, and light-colored boards will form watermarks after absorbing water. Therefore, when choosing designs and colors, try to choose Mainly medium colors.

At the same time, we remind you that in order to make huge profits, some small factories take advantage of the fact that calcium carbonate powder can also be mixed with resin to produce calcium powder boards with calcium carbonate powder as the main raw material. The intuitive effect is the same as that of aluminum hydroxide. There is no difference in the powder, but the inner essence is far different from the quality of the resin board due to the characteristics of the material; it is very good when it is new, but the brightness will dim after a few months, the board is easy to penetrate, and the back surface will easily become dirty and change after a short period of use. The flowers cannot be washed away. And it itself is not flame retardant, so it poses a huge safety hazard when used on kitchen countertops.
