Brief Introduction to Quartz
Quartz is a mineral resource with very stable physical and chemical properties. It is insoluble in acid and slightly soluble in KOH solution. Pure quartz is colorless and transparent, but it often becomes translucent or opaque crystals due to a small amount of impurities. It has a hard texture, no cleavage, and a shell-like fracture.
High Hardness And Wear Resistance
Quartz has a hardness of up to 7 on the Mohs scale, second only to diamond, which makes it extremely wear-resistant. In daily use, quartz can easily cope with various pressures and frictions, and maintain a long-lasting appearance as new.
Stain-Resistant And Anti-Leakage
Quartz material has a non-porous structure, which effectively resists the penetration of pollutants. Its surface is not easy to breed bacteria and mold, and is easy to clean and maintain, providing users with a healthy and hygienic environment.
Natural Soft Light, Moist Texture
Quartz has undergone multiple high-pressure and polishing treatments, and its surface is smooth and delicate, with a natural soft light and moist texture. This texture is not only beautiful and generous, but also can maintain its luster for a long time and is not easy to become old.
Strong High Temperature Resistance
The melting point of quartz is as high as 1750℃, and it has excellent high temperature resistance. In a high temperature environment, quartz is not easy to deform or damage, and is an ideal material for making high-temperature equipment.
Acid And Alkali Corrosion Resistance
Quartz has excellent acid and alkali resistance and can resist the corrosion of common acid and alkali substances in life. This characteristic makes quartz have a wide range of application prospects in the chemical industry, laboratories and other fields.
Anti-Aging And Anti-Fading
Quartz contains high-quality compounding agents and anti-aging additives, which makes it have strong anti-aging ability. At room temperature, the aging phenomenon of quartz materials is almost invisible. The pigment of quartz is mainly made of mineral pigments, which has extremely high anti-fading ability and can maintain bright colors for a long time.
Rich Colors And Textures
Quartz has rich and diverse colors and textures, which can be matched with various decoration styles. Whether it is used for interior decoration or outdoor landscape construction, quartz can show its unique charm.
Types of Quartz
Low-Temperature Quartz (α-Quartz)
This is the most widespread mineral in the quartz family of minerals and is often referred to as quartz in geological terminology. It is stable at room temperature and is one of the most common minerals in the earth's crust. Pure low-temperature quartz is colorless and transparent, but it can present different colors due to trace amounts of impurity elements.
High-Temperature Quartz (β-Quartz)
This is a variant of quartz in a high-temperature state. Compared with low-temperature quartz, high-temperature quartz has higher thermal stability and a higher refractive index. It is often used in high-temperature environments or applications that require special optical properties.
Coesite
Coesite is a variant of quartz under extremely high pressure and is commonly found in meteorite craters and metamorphic rocks. Its formation requires extremely high pressure conditions, so it is not common in the earth’s crust.
Amethyst
Amethyst is a variant of quartz, famous for its deep purple or lavender hues. It usually contains trace amounts of iron, which are replaced by silicon atoms during the formation process, resulting in a purple hue. Amethyst is very popular in jewelry and decoration, and is cherished for its unique color and mysterious legends.
Rose Quartz
Rose Quartz is a pink variety of quartz, and is loved for its soft hue and warm texture. It often contains trace amounts of titanium, which is replaced by silicon atoms during the formation process, resulting in a pink hue. Rose Quartz is very popular in jewelry and decoration, and is also often used to make massage stones and healing stones.
Smoky Quartz
Smoky Quartz is a dark brown or grayish brown variety of quartz. Its color is usually caused by tiny bubbles or impurities in the quartz. Smoky Quartz also has certain applications in jewelry and decoration, and its unique color gives people a deep and mysterious feeling.
How To Choose Quartz?
Purity
The purity of quartz is one of the important indicators of its quality. High-purity quartz has better physical and chemical properties. The purity of common quartz on the market ranges from low to high, and can be selected according to specific usage requirements. For example, in the field of semiconductor manufacturing, ultra-high purity quartz materials are required.
Hardness
Quartz has a high hardness and belongs to a mineral with a hardness of 7. Quartz with high hardness is more wear-resistant and less prone to scratches. When choosing quartz products, such as quartz countertops or quartz sand, hardness tests can be used to evaluate their wear resistance.
Fouling Resistance
The surface of high-quality quartz is not easy to absorb stains and is easy to clean. When selecting, its fouling resistance can be evaluated by observing the surface finish of the sample and the stain removal effect.
Thickness
The thickness of quartz products affects its durability and load-bearing capacity. Generally speaking, quartz with a thickness of more than 15mm is more durable. When choosing a quartz countertop, you can observe its cross section to determine whether the thickness meets the standard.
Color And Texture
Quartz has a variety of colors and textures to choose from, and you can choose the appropriate color and texture according to the overall decoration style and personal preferences. When choosing, you can observe the appearance characteristics such as color, texture and gloss of the sample or sample.
Use And Demand
Choose quartz materials according to specific uses and needs. For example, in the field of glass manufacturing, high-purity quartz sand needs to be selected; in the field of quartz countertops, wear-resistant, stain-resistant and beautiful quartz materials need to be selected.
Daily Cleaning
Quartz should be cleaned with a neutral detergent, such as dishwashing liquid, and avoid using strong acid or alkaline detergents to avoid damage to the quartz surface. Dip a damp cloth in the detergent and gently wipe the quartz surface to remove stains and scale. After cleaning, wipe the quartz surface with a dry cloth to avoid water stains.
Avoid Contact With Chemicals
Quartz should avoid contact with strong chemicals such as paint, metal cleaners, stove cleaners, methylene chloride, acetone (nail polish remover), and strong acid cleaners. If accidentally contacted, the surface should be immediately rinsed with a large amount of soapy water. If nail polish is stained on the quartz surface, please wipe it with a cleaner that does not contain acetone (such as alcohol), and then rinse it with water.
Pay Attention To Physical Protection
Do not let heavy or sharp objects directly impact the quartz surface, and oversized or overweight utensils should not be placed on the countertop for a long time. Quartz is a brittle polymer composite material with certain thermal expansion and contraction characteristics. Therefore, avoid scalding quartz with boiling water immediately after rinsing it with cold water to prevent cracks caused by thermal expansion and contraction.
Polishing
If the quartz surface loses its gloss, you can use a sponge and non-abrasive polish to polish it to restore its gloss. For particularly difficult-to-remove dirt, you can use 1200-grit sandpaper to polish it, and then use a soft cloth and polish to brighten it. Use a decontamination detergent or a scouring pad dipped in a non-abrasive detergent to polish in circles, and then wipe it dry with a dry towel. For semi-matte surfaces, you can also use non-abrasive polishes to enhance the surface gloss.
Application of Quartz
Glass Manufacturing
Quartz is one of the main raw materials for glass manufacturing and is highly favored for its high purity silicon dioxide (SiO2) content. Quartz sand accounts for nearly half of the consumption in the glass industry and is used to make container glass, flat glass, specialty glass, fiberglass, etc.
Architecture and Decoration
Engineered quartz stone, made from raw quartz, is often used for countertops and panels in residential and commercial buildings. The porosity of quartz makes it resistant to stains, so quartz countertops are easy to clean.
