Artificial Marble Stone

Artificial marble stone is also known as artificial marble, man-made stone, or artificial resin stone. This series of artificial marble is a high polymer solid material of mixed propyl methacrylate, natural mineral hydrated aluminum oxide powder AKOHlj, and pigment. It is manufactured from specific polymer blends. Also, its size varies from 96 x 30 x 1/2 to 144 x 30 x 1/2 . Furthermore, the marble stones are extremely durable and very easy to repair. Since the material is non-porous and naturally resistant to a number of stains and acids, it has been large-scaled by many industries. The material is solid color throughout and both the color and pattern are so uniform all the way through that it can be used for durable countertops.

Marble. A variety of limestone (CaCOa). It is a hard, very si porous stone, which occurs in nature in many forms and colors. It may be prepd artificially by the recrystn of limestone under great press and at high temp. In powd form it has been used as an antacid ingredient of some Dynamites (see under). Silberrad... 

Calcium carbonate is one of several important inorganic chemicals (Fig. 1) and is widely used in both its pure and its impure states. As marble chips, it is sold in many sizes as a filler for artificial stone, for the neutralization of acids,... 

The common masonry materials include such natural building stones as limestones, marbles, sandstones, basalt and granites, as well as such artificial materials as brick, concrete, mortar and terra-cotta. All of these materials are composed primarily of carbonate and silicate minerals. The grains of quartz (Si02) in sandstone may be bonded together with calcite (CaC03), while the last is an essential constituent of limestone and marble and, to a lesser extent, of the lime-mortar. Natural silicate minerals compose basalt, granite, and porphyries, and complex silicates are formed in the process of fabrication of concrete and terra-cotta. The decomposition of the masonry materials may thus be considered in terms of attack of atmospheric CO2 and SO2 on calcite and the silicate minerals.
