sognos QUARTZ is a new material, which combines the advantage of natural and artificial stone. It is extremely hard, very tough, resists discoloration, zero radioactivity and acid resistant.
QUARTZ is mainly combined with 93% crushed quartz, 6% high-quality polyester resins and 1% other additive by an exacting standard of excellence. Crushed quartz (silicon dioxide – SiO2) is one of nature’s hardest minerals.
QUARTZ countertops is blended with good polyester resins and pigments, and then compacted under intense vibration, vacuum, and high temperature high pressure into dense sheet. The non-porous QUARTZ are post cured and gauged to precise thickness, and polished to an enduring shine.
Advantages
a) Non-Scratch
QUARTZ is composed of as high as 93% quartz, quartz crystal is a natural diamond in hardness only to natural minerals, the surface hardness can be high 7.5, is much larger than the kitchen knife used in the shovel, and other weapons will not be scratching their Injury.
QUARTZ is produced in a vacuum condition. Compact non-porous composite material, the quartz surface of the base, such as the kitchen has an excellent corrosion resistance, day-to-day use of the liquid substance will not penetrate inside, long time to put on the surface of liquid water or use only clean and bright, and other cleaning agents can be erased with cloth and, if necessary, can used blades scrape the surface of the material being stranded.
c) Non-Metamorphic
QUARTZ beautiful sheen on the surface after more than 30 Road complex polishing process will not be scratching shovel knife, the liquid will not penetrate the material will not have a yellow color and so on, day-to-day cleaning only Use water to wash, easy. Even after a long period of use, the surface of the table with the same bright face-lift, maintenance and repair.
d) Non-toxic & Non-radiation
On the surface of the quartz stone-smooth, no scratches remain smooth, dense non-porous material structure of the bacteria makes no place to hide, with direct contact with food, safe drug-free! The use of high-quality quartz stone selection of natural quartz crystal minerals, its SiO2 content of more than 99.9%, and miscellaneous manufacturing process of purification, does not contain any material that could cause the radioactive heavy metal impurities, 94% of quartz crystals and other The resin additives made.
e) Maintenance Free
QUARTZ is easy to maintain due to its durable, chemical resistant and scratch resistant. Its color and shine will stay for without any care & maintenance.
f) Heat Resistance
QUARTZ is composed mostly of quartz, giving it a high melting point of 1200˚C. Hot pan or bottom of the pot off the heat coke residue on the surface a short period of time so that it will not melt, or a burst of color, will not be from a pot of hot water or oil spill, and other damage.
The real texture of stone, not plastic resin flu: people tend to like the texture of natural stone, but because of their high water absorption and easy to pollution, radioactive, non-acid, scratch the surface and easy to wear, easy strokes of the cane break, and so obviously The defect had to "bear the pain afford to spare", but man-made stone of acrylic resin plastic that has texture was not quite satisfied with quartz stone can be both natural stone and acrylic resin on the merits of both man-made stone. From the point of view, style, stone and man-made quartz stone of great distinction, as flowers and plastic flowers difference!
Care & Maintenance
sognos QUARTZ requires minimum maintenance and the following care and maintenance guidelines will help to keep the surface in immaculate condition for years.
General routine care & maintenance
Preventing damage to kitchen top from heat
To prevent thermal shock, discoloration or other damages, it is necessary to use insulating pads when putting hot objects aside and not to expose the surface to open flames and prolonged contact with very hot pots. We always recommend using a hot pad especially when using cooking units.
Use of common kitchen implementsCommon kitchen implements including sharp knives won't harm the QUARTZ Stone Surfaces that are made up of pure natural quartz. Continued use of kitchen knives on the kitchen tops could dull the polished surface. Care should be exercised when moving heavy objects and avoid dropping heavy kitchen tools.
Exposure to chemical and solvents
QUARTZ Stone can be permanently damaged by prolonged exposure to strong chemicals and solvents. It is advisable not to use hydro fluoric acid, any products containing ethylene chloride.
