Natural Quartz Crystals :
Quartz is a naturally occurring mineral that is one of the most abundant on Earth. For countertops, manufacturers use crushed and finely ground natural quartz crystals, typically accounting for about 90-95% of the countertop’s composition. This gives quartz countertops their hardness and durability.
Resins :
The crushed quartz is combined with polymer resins, usually in a ratio of 5-10%. These resins act as a binding agent, holding the quartz particles together and creating a solid surface. The resins also enhance the countertop’s flexibility, making it less prone to cracking or chipping compared to natural stone surfaces.
Pigments:
To achieve a wide range of colors and patterns, pigments are added to the mixture. These pigments can create a variety of designs that mimic the look of natural stone or offer unique, vibrant colors.
Additional Components:
Some manufacturers may add other materials such as recycled glass, metallic flecks, or even small stone particles to enhance the appearance and functionality of the countertop.
