How Quartz Is Manufactured?
1. Quartz Extraction
The first part of the production process of quartz involves the mining of the raw material. It usually involves open-pit mining. Explosives are rarely used because they can damage the raw material.
2. Processing
After mining, the stone goes through the cleaning stage. We ensure this is done carefully and thoroughly. And the process mainly involves removing impurities, which may affect the quality of the final product.
3. Blending of Raw Quartz with Binders
The clean quartz aggregates are then mixed with small ratios of resins to help bind the slab together. The mixture also includes other additives. These include chemicals, stone, and glass. And they improve the final appearance of the quartz stone slab. This combination of quartz, resins, and other additives is then mixed thoroughly in a special mixer.
4. Formation of Slabs
After the mixing process, the mixture is poured into a mold to form the final slabs. It is then heated to extreme temperatures and compressed at very high pressure. This process helps the resulting stone to be tough, durable, and heat resistant. After this, the slabs are left to cool for over a day.
5. Slab Trimming
Before finally being ready for sale, the quartz stone slabs get trimmed at the edges and polished. Then you could get quality slabs.
