Description
Ju Red Granite is a distinctive and visually appealing material quarried in Laizhou, Shandong Province, China. Known for its durability, this medium-to-coarse-grained granite features a misty mauve red base with brown-pink undertones that make it a popular choice for a variety of construction and design applications. Below is a detailed overview of the physical and mechanical properties, chemical composition, and more.
Physical and Mechanical Properties:
- Color: Predominantly Red with mauve and brown-pink undertones.
- Water Absorption: Typically low, essential for maintaining durability and resisting weathering.
- Density: Approximately 2,660-2,720 kg/m³, reflecting its solid nature.
- Flexural Strength: Around 12.5-14.5 MPa, a measure of its tensile bending strength.
- Compressive Strength: Approximately 170-180 MPa, indicating high resistance to crushing forces.
- Hardness: Rated around 6-7 on the Mohs scale, putting it in the hard granite category.
- Porosity: Generally low, which contributes to its stain resistance.
- Slip Resistance: Good, especially when finished with non-slip surfaces, making it suitable for flooring.
Chemical and Mineral Composition (% by weight):
- Quartz: 20-30%
- Feldspar (Potassium and Plagioclase): 60-70%
- Biotite and/or Muscovite Mica: 5-10%
- Other Minerals (Minor Constituents like Iron Oxides): 1-5%
Usage:
- Interior Applications: Flooring, countertops, wall cladding, and bathroom vanities due to its appealing aesthetics and durability.
- Exterior Applications: Suitable for building facades, outdoor paving, and monuments, owing to its weather resistance and structural strength.
