The author understood a few days ago, our country man-made stone industry is not evenly distributed, most of the artificial stone products from Guangdong, Fujian, Shanghai, Jiangsu, Dongguan, which belongs to the central area of Guangdong artificial Shi Zhongxin origin, because natural ore production source is less and less, and limit the blind exploitation, the artificial stone growth of demand. Guangdong, Fujian Xiamen area artificial stone market is very large. Nearly two years on the two market survey found, artificial stone products on the market has the following several types:

1, Dongguan, Shenzhen near artificial stone resin mosaic desktop back enhancement layer, all export products.

2, The United States Moshi near Zhongshan stone and some transparent lampshade.

3 Zhongshan, Heshan, Foshan near artificial stone kitchen and bathroom.

4 Stone, Europe Athens, Xun, rich stone, opie.

The above several to make the artificial stone plate business, especially in Europe Athens artificial stone, in the industry is quite strong, which makes the artificial stone industry competition is very big. Several man-made stone enterprises its resin dosage in the Guangdong market artificial stone resin volume 70%.

Guangdong region to do this kind of artificial stone plate manufacturers is very much, the manufacturers of the product quality is uneven, standards board ( 2440mm * 760mm * 12.7mm ) is believed to be the low price of aluminum hydroxide powder as raw material. Some low-cost sheet metal, calcium powder as filler, deformation, cracking products, stain resistance of poor resistance to water deficit. 5 Shanghai, Fujian,

Guangdong region of the artificial stone and artificial quartz stone. Artificial stone and stone works, the current prevalence of stone, with two or more than two kinds of natural marble crushed into the resin and pigment, the oscillating vacuum pressurized synthetic cast blank ( material ), then cutting, thickness, grinding and polishing. If the use of general-purpose resin material, cracking phenomenon will appear, one piece of material cost about 12000 yuan. Some enterprise specializes in the development of low viscosity, high intensity stone resin, pressing and forming artificial stone with high hardness, high strength, good gloss, low water absorption, wear-resistant characteristics, to meet the demand for exports.

Yunfu artificial hill Shi Sha Anna opened the market later, appeared in short supply situation. 3 years of short time, Yunfu area of artificial stone production line from the original number increased to 10. Shanghai, Hangzhou, Beijing, the new decoration of the major shopping centres ground decoration materials have been used in artificial stone. Artificial stone has not reached the same like tiles make known to every family, but the market potential is great.

Artificial quartz stone and artificial stone production process is relatively similar, different is the use of the filler is the high abrasion resistance of quartz sand and quartz powder, filler content of around 90%. Mohs hardness of 7 scratch resistant performance, the stain resistance, waterproof, fireproof performance decides it is man-made stone plate development direction. In recent years, the domestic horse man-made quartz stone production line jumps, using vacuum casting quartz stone enterprises have more than a dozen, but equipment of relatively large differences, not a quality. Some products are: high hardness while bubbles, but as the wall material is easy to be deformed, sophisticated quartz stone production line price 6000000 yuan to about 10000000 yuan, with vacuum shock pressure synthesis, the process used in the curing temperature drying tower, product low volume containing plastic, dense texture without pores, a good quality of the product is close to Italy artificial quartz stone standard.

Foreign artificial stone brand and market general situation Foreign quartz stone brand Sally stone, Caesar stone, Xi Shi Long, benefit thing, senor Stone, Omega, PKL, brocken spectre-long, specials, such as Parke, kang. The world specializing in the production of quartz stone manufacturer to have 16 only, 20 Sally stone production line, products for the European market in 90%, accounted for the American market in 70%, but still can not meet the market demand.

The Korean production of quartz stone manufacturer is annual exports of Europe and the United States market for $130000000. Quartz stone has been widely used abroad, mainly kitchen countertops, vanity tops, bar, and the outer wall surface. A more mature international market in Australia, Europe and the United States and other countries and regions. One of Australia year quartz stone consumption accounted for about 1 of global / 3, followed by the United States and canada. The Middle East and Southeast Asia quartz stone significant market growth. Foreign quartz application scope is in produce change ceaselessly, cabinets industry in quartz Shi Zheng became the new alternative products, ground stone decoration was also substantial growth.
