Testing
- Water Absorption:
- 0.18 - 0.34%
- Density:
- 2660 - 2720 kg/m³
- Flexural Strength:
- 13 - 17 MPa
- Compressive Strength:
- 150 - 170 MPa
- Stone texture:
- a deep, dark black or charcoal base, dramatically contrasted by bold, flowing bands of white, cream, and speckled greyish-gold minerals. It displays a striking, linear, and fluid veining pattern that resembles flowing ink or water currents—perfectly embodying its poetic name. The lighter bands vary in width and texture; some are smooth and cloudy, while others have a granular, crystalline appearance, adding significant depth and a dynamic, almost three-dimensional visual effect
Description
China Titanium Granite is an exquisite and dramatic natural stone featuring a deep, dark black or charcoal base contrasted by bold and flowing bands of white, cream, and speckled greyish-gold minerals. Its striking veining pattern resembles flowing ink or water currents, embodying a poetic aesthetic. The lighter bands offer a dynamic visual effect, varying in width and texture, from smooth and cloudy to granular and crystalline.
Physical and Mechanical Properties:
- Water Absorption:Typically ranges from 0.18% to 0.34%, indicating a low porosity and excellent resistance to water penetration.
- Density:Approximately 2.66 to 2.72 g/cm³, denoting a relatively high density typical for granite.
- Flexural Strength:Usually between 13 to 17 MPa, providing good resistance to bending and cracking.
- Compressive Strength:Generally around 150 to 170 MPa, reflecting strong resistance to crushing forces.
- Hardness:Ranges from 6 to 7 on the Mohs scale, demonstrating significant hardness and scratch resistance.
- Porosity:Low porosity attributed to its dense structure, enhancing durability and weather resistance.
- Slip Resistance:Depends on the finish; honed and flamed surfaces typically offer higher slip resistance compared to polished finishes.
Chemical and Mineral Composition (% by weight):
- Quartz:20-30%
- Feldspar (Potassium and Plagioclase):50-60%
- Biotite Mica:5-10%
- Magnetite and Other Minerals:5-10%
- Trace Elements:Iron Oxide, contributing to its unique coloration and speckling.
Usage:
- Interior Applications:Kitchen countertops, bathroom vanities, wall cladding, and flooring.
- Exterior Applications:Paving, exterior wall cladding, and architectural features.
- Decorative Uses:Fireplace surrounds, accent walls, and artistic installations.
Maintenance:
- Clean regularly with mild detergents and water.
- Avoid acidic or abrasive cleaners to prevent etching.
- Seal periodically to protect from stains and enhance longevity.
Cutting Sizes (cm):
- Standard slab size typically ranges from 240 x 120 cm to 300 x 180 cm.
- Custom sizes available upon request, fitting specific project requirements.
Common Surface Finish Options:
- Polished:Offers a high-gloss, reflective finish enhancing color and veining patterns.
- Honed:Provides a smooth, matte finish, reducing glare and enhancing slip resistance.
- Flamed:Rough, textured finish often used for exterior applications to improve traction.
- Bush-Hammered:Achieves an evenly-textured, dimpled surface for a rustic appearance.
China Titanium Granite, with its exceptional aesthetic and robust physical properties, is a versatile choice for both residential and commercial projects. Its dramatic appearance and relative ease of maintenance make it a sought-after material in the realm of natural stone applications.
