About engineered stone s's radioactive

1.What is radioactivity, how does it happen?

In nature, any element with unstable nucleus that sometime spontaneously changes into new nucleus of other element, is called radioactive element. In the process of fusion or fission, these elements release a special kind of ray (referred to as alpha, beta, gamma rays depending on their nature), a phenomenon known as radioactivity.

Radioactivity is a common phenomenon in the physical world. The human body itself is a radioactive source. Therefore, don't be too scared at stone radioactivity. General objects have very low radiation, and  will not endanger human health.

China has established three kinds of standards A,B,C regarding stone radioactiviey. Only those that meet standards of A can be used in the room.

2.Is the engineered stone s radioactive hazard? How do we identify?

During the sedimention process, the natural stone accumulated a number of unstable elements, making radioactivity beyond the standards. But with raw materials  strictly screened, excessive radioactive elements have been completely removed from engineered stone ss, which makes our products fully conform to class A decorative material requirements of national standards for radioactive protection building materials (GB6566-2001 standards).

3.Is it that the deeper the color, the stronger the raioactivity?

There are different views regarding whether the deeper the color, the stronger the raioactivity is . Gernerally speaking, The granites with red,green color and spotted series are more radioactive(such as indian red, cuckoo red); The granites of dark(including black, blue and dark brown)and gray series are less radioactive(eg,Mongoliablack, etc.)

 

Seven unique merits of Billow engineered quartz tile

No radioactivity: Strict inspection is carried out to remove radioactive materials from raw materials,making our product comply with the Class A requirements of GB6566-2001 standards.

◆ Easy machining: With characteristics of high density and uniformly fine structure, the products can be processed into various shaped ornaments.

◆ Easy refreshing: Good wear resistance and repeated refreshing enable the artificial stone to keep longlasting decorative effects.

◆engineered quartz tile controlable color difference: Stable patterns and colors with high flatness, making the artificial stone suitable for large-scale application.

◆Good stain resistance and anti-bacteria: Molded through vibration in high pressure condition, the products are characterized by no pores, low water absorption, anti-penetration, and anti-bacteria that facilitate maintenance and cleaning.

◆Rich patterns and colors: The patterns are ajustable according to user's demands, so they can meet the needs of different decorative styles.

◆High flexural strength: Products with close structure make it withstand high pressure, and difficult to break during machining.
