No more than 100 years ago, in the middle of the 20th century, a subtle but very important revolution took place - chemical! It forever divided people’s everyday life into “before” and “after.” Plastics, plastics, nylon and other synthetic materials have become firmly established in human everyday life. Over time, they ousted the majority from widespread circulation. traditional materials, such as - natural wood, steel and even stone. They have also expanded their manufacturing business capabilities from home-based to new industry solutions.

Just think about it - all the objects that surround us today are a symbiosis of several fundamental sciences - physics, mathematics and chemistry. The last one, the youngest, completely changed the life of modern man.

Trying to improve life with various connections have been undertaken since ancient times. It is enough to recall all the ways of searching for the philosopher's stone, with the help of which they wanted to turn lead into gold. Pure chemistry in its ancient incarnation. But it was only in the 20th century that people achieved some success. True, not in the lead-gold pair, but close. Today, any material can be turned into “gold” by adding a couple of drops of “chemistry”. The main thing in such a compound is not the composition of the original and the resulting one, but the characteristics and scope of application finished product. And here chemistry has no competitors. Plastics, plastics, adhesives are the basis of everything around us. But this is “chemistry”, first of all, the chemistry of a compound.

Chipboard, fibreboard, MDF, OSB and other abbreviations familiar to anyone home handyman or to a builder - nothing more than waste wood chips connected to each other with special adhesive compounds. Without chemicals, the waste remained for a long time waste. And now these are valuable materials for construction and finishing. Replacement for natural and expensive wood. Although, you can also use wood. As a rule, it cannot do without “chemistry”. Starting from special synthetic antiseptics, ending with adhesive compositions for merging laminated boards, panels, panels and beams made of natural wood.

What about steel? “Colored” representatives, such as aluminum and copper, are being replaced by cheaper and lighter composite materials. And for several years now, polypropylenes and polyethylenes have predominated in everyday life. low pressure instead of steel water pipes.

Today, “chemistry”, in the form of connecting components and adhesive compositions, is the basis of any production, any item where consumer properties, qualities and forms are important. This is, firstly, faster; secondly, it’s simpler; thirdly, it’s cheaper. Such areas as the production of stone, ceramics and porcelain products have not escaped “chemical” modernization.

Using certain ether, acrylic, polyurethane and other plastic resins through simple manipulations available at home, people have learned to imitate stone and produce “stone” products, literally, on their knees. Sometimes without touching natural stones at all.

There are many various technologies and methods of such productions. Imitating all kinds of textures and compositions - from ordinary stone to valuable mineral compounds and ornamental stones - such as malachite, granite, tourmaline, quartz, jasper, agate and others.

The most popular and modern synthetic material called Polystone.

What is Polystone: real production technology and cost

Polystone - composite material, similar in characteristics to a natural stone, but without the disadvantages of the latter. Polystone not influenced external factors- not afraid of tall people low temperatures(and their differences); polystone does not lose its properties when high humidity; he doesn’t care about water or aggressive chemicals. Polystone is free of cracks, there are no cracks on its surface open pores, flaws and defects that can lead to mechanical destruction of the material. Polystone for strength and operational properties not inferior to natural stone. At the same time, it can be easily processed like soft wood - drilled, sawn, sanded.

As soon as you learn about all the advantages of Polystone, you wonder if this is such a excellent material- why not start your own home business with it? Should we make polystone itself and “stone” products from it?

On various websites that describe the use of polystone in home business, they formulate the idea - go to the nearest market, buy all the necessary components there and do what you want. But in practice, all this is completely different from what is written on such sites. Let us explain why.

Polystone or real polystone, This trademark made in China using a company patent DuPont (USA). Based on a patent in China, they produce durable polymer composite. The technical and exact name of their product is acrylic solid surface. Commercial - Polystone. And it became so popular that polystone became a household name.

The approximate composition and production method of Polystone are as follows.

Basic composition of Polystone:

  • polymer resins(Which ones? The above sites don’t say anything by any chance?);
  • aluminum hydroxide(Do you sell this substance freely? How much does it weigh in grams?);
  • crushed natural stone and other polymer additives and plasticizers (here, as they say, in general huge field for maneuvers).

All components must be mixed in a certain sequence and the right proportions. Then polymerize special equipment subject to all technological standards. The result is a polystone sheet. The exact composition of polystone and the method of its production are protected by patents and are the property of the manufacturer.

Therefore you can't buy ready mixture Polystone - neither in production nor in the store. Neither at a price per kilogram, nor per liter of volume. This does not exist in nature. Exclusively made in China with the trademark Polystone.

If you come across information that polystone is easy to produce at home, with subsequent formation of finished products, you should know that this is not the same polystone, but simply a polymer or “molding” material that imitates a stone texture. Many manufacturers and sellers use what is popular and well-known. For example, all photocopiers are photocopiers, and diapers are diapers.

Nobody except Chinese manufacturers know how to make real polystone, and the phrase polystone itself is read in English as polymer stone. That is, in fact, real polystone is not much better than any other polymer material.

It just so happened that any casting composite with the addition of minerals and stones, imitating a stone texture, began to be called polystone. Sellers are so carried away that polymer porcelain, granite, malachite and even marble are often combined in everyday life with the word “polystone”. Although the production technologies for these products differ.

“Liquid” artificial stones: marble, granite, malachite and others

Now that you know that “polystone” is a polymer imitation of stone products and surfaces, let’s talk about this kind of production in general.

Why do we call them liquid or still cast (cast) stones? Because in their primary state, all artificial stones are a liquid (gel-like) mass - glue or polymer. At the next stage, it is poured into molds of finished products. Molds and matrices for “liquid” stones are usually made of latex, polyurethane or plastic. You see that on modern production Are artificial stone products just pure chemistry?

We talked about how to make forms and business on them in. All information is provided in it for production gypsum products. But there is no difference, other than the poured composition, how to use them. Silicone, polymer and latex matrices are also suitable for artificial stones - marble, porcelain, granite and other polymer mixtures.

Schematic diagram of the production of cast stones:

  • A polymer mixture with filler is being prepared. The basis of the mixture is a polymer resin or, simply, a polymer. Gypsum, marble flour (microcalcite), quartz sand, marble or granite chips. In general, any solid natural material. Depending on the chosen filler, you can imitate natural marble, jasper, granite, malachite, onyx and the like. Each filler, depending on its polymer impregnation properties, requires its own mixing proportions (on average, 50-60% resin and 40-50% filler). What is filler used for? The polymer without filler is very fragile, but with filler it acquires its qualities and properties. Thus, with microcalcite, the characteristics of the product are similar to those of marble. But in general everything is called - artificial marble. All components are thoroughly mixed. Also, if necessary, a coloring pigment is added. It, being added at the first stage, colors the entire mass of the future product, and not just the surface.
  • A hardener (polymerizer) is added to the finished mixture.. The most common polymer used is styrene. Attention! Styrene is an extremely toxic substance! It is necessary to work with it in well-ventilated areas, using individual funds protection - glasses, protective suit, respirator. The average proportion of adding polymerizer is about 5% of the total mass of the mixture.
  • The resulting solution, in a thin stream, is poured into molds for finished products.. This is necessary to ensure that air does not get into the forming mass. This will avoid the formation of bubbles and voids in the finished products. If you are using a mold with many small parts, then it is advisable to use a vacuum chamber. Otherwise, the mixture will not “shed” small details. Or, instead of a vacuum chamber, you can use a cheaper device - a vibrating table.
  • After hardening, the products are removed from the mold. If necessary, they can be subjected to final processing - grinding, polishing, cutting, etc. Some elements of the product can be re-painted.

if you have milling machine with CNC, then you can simplify the process: cast products in primary form, and small parts, complex 3D, etc. are performed on a CNC machine. That is, cut out the finished product from the polymer mass. On the one hand, this is an overconsumption of components. On the other hand, such production is sometimes much cheaper than creating a production line for the production of similar small products, which require expensive and precise molds, vacuum chambers and vibrating tables.

You can also apply technology using gelcoat. A special polymer composition with which the matrix is ​​treated before pouring the main mixture. The use of gelcoat increases specifications products, because outer layer The product will be a hardened gelcoat. Thanks to this, the quality of the base mixture can be reduced (that is, the cost of the final product will be much lower) - use a less durable polymer, reduce the amount of filler, do not use dye, and so on.

Which polymer resin use you? You must independently choose from those that are sold in your city. Buy the resin that is most simple and understandable for you. Common name similar mixtures - casting resins for the manufacture of souvenirs and artificial stone. Search for sellers using this exact phrase. You can also buy injection molds, fillers, hardeners and coloring pigments from them. They will be happy to share information about technical points And technological processes production of certain products. Because their business is the sale of components for the production of “liquid” stones.

What can be produced from artificial stone

Since the technology for producing artificial stone products is quite simple and accessible to anyone, there are no special restrictions in production. New forms and possibilities of this process are constantly emerging.

  • Kitchen sinks and bathtubs,
  • Tabletops and furniture,
  • Decor for facades and interiors,
  • Small household utensils,
  • Garden furniture, figures and sculptures,
  • Souvenir products.

The list is far from complete. You will definitely make your own list yourself. Studying new mixtures and technologies. In any case, if you want to try a business producing artificial stone, then you should try it, the investment in it is minimal. If it doesn’t work out, then you will only waste your own time. But learn how to work with polymer mixtures.

The cost of a finished product made of artificial stone is from $5 per 1 m², and the final price for the consumer is from $30 per square meter. That is, a 125% markup.

Polystone(Polystone) is an artificial stone that combines the advantages of natural stone: beauty, hardness, grace, and achievements modern science, improving its characteristics. Polystone widely used in the production of interior items, it is modern and versatile, high-quality, while inexpensive material. Polystone is easy to process, which allows it to be used in the production of unique products.

Material made based acrylic resin with the addition of aluminum hydroxide and pigments. This composition makes the structure of the artificial stone monolithic, without cracks or pores. Polystone does not absorb moisture and odor, thus it is protected from the development of mold, bacteria, and rotting.

Polystone environmentally friendly pure material , is used in medical institutions and catering establishments. Polystone is exposed machining, it can be ground and cut like stone. It goes well with other materials, such as metal, wood, glass - the joints are made without visible seams.

Polystone products are resistant to the effects of water, air, weak acids, alkalis, ultraviolet radiation, food coloring. Not susceptible to detergents, can withstand heat up to 180 degrees, does not smell, is durable and shock-resistant.

Polystone is an artificial stone consisting of acrylic resins, aluminum hydroxide, crushed natural stone, pigments and other additives. It has almost all the properties natural stone, except for fragility.

Main characteristics:

  • resists shock loads well;
  • easily tolerates high temperatures (up to 180° C) and temperature changes;
  • resistant to aggressive factors external environment- acids and alkalis, moisture, ultraviolet radiation;
  • not colored with food or artificial dyes;
  • has excellent sanitary and hygienic properties, due to the absence of microcracks and pores, the body of the stone is not “inhabited” by fungus and various pathogenic bacteria;
  • easy to process (cutting, grinding);
  • odorless, does not conduct electricity;
  • combines with wood, glass, metal and other materials.

Distribution of polystone in modern world very broad:

  • construction industry (countertops, window sills, steps, sinks, bathtubs and many other items are made from it; they are used for wall cladding, especially in the kitchen around the stove, since it can easily withstand high temperatures);
  • interior design of a home or office (using a large number of different shades and textures, they create beautiful panels that look (due to the absence of joints) as a single whole);
  • medical institutions (possible for wall cladding in operating rooms, treatment rooms, recommended for decorating children's rooms, especially in the presence of allergic diseases);
  • landscape design, garden figures, flower pots.

Currently, the garden figures market offers products made from the most various materials. Moreover, gypsum, concrete and other polystone substitutes are quite common.

Of course, manufacturers can be understood; deviations in technology significantly reduce costs, and, accordingly, price, and low quality It will only appear over time in the form of cracks, chips, color changes...

At the same time, buyers often do not pay attention to this - after all, externally, garden figures can look almost the same and cost less...

Why you should not buy plaster garden figures:

LLC "Company METRO", among the first in Russia, launched production decorative items made of plaster and became the first domestic manufacturer polystone products on an industrial scale.

At a certain stage, the company simultaneously produced garden figures from gypsum and polystone, but subsequently abandoned gypsum in favor of polystone. There are many reasons for this. Here are some of them:

  • Figures made from plaster have very weak physical properties. The density of polystone is approximately 27 times higher than the density of gypsum! Gypsum products chip with a slight collision (for example, if you move them with a cart in hypermarkets and without packaging, then you will definitely get it to the checkout), large gypsum products crumble even under their own weight.
  • Plaster products absorb moisture, gain weight and collapse. In this case, coating the product with varnish or water-repellent additives will not help. Under the influence of ultraviolet varnish coating will cause microcracks and will not keep the product from moisture penetration. Moisture can also penetrate into the structure of the material through the bottom of the product.
    The weight of a gypsum product is 3-5 times higher than the weight of a polystone product.
  • It is technologically impossible to make gypsum products that are complex in shape and contain thin and fragile elements.
  • After casting, the plaster product has a very unreliable, chalky surface (similar to whitewash on a wall). Paint sticks to this surface easily and falls off just as easily. Primer in in this case does not solve this problem, since the plaster surface is too fragile and with a slight collision the paint will fall off along with the plaster. Sometimes even the price tag attached with tape comes off along with the paint.
  • Gypsum products have a very high percentage of returns and transport damage. The amount of combat reached 20% of the shipment volume!
  • Low percentage of “return” customers. Customers buying plaster figures remained dissatisfied, despite the low price, and did not return for purchases again.
  • Short product lifespan. As a rule, landscape figures made of gypsum do not last even one season.
  • During long-term storage, even if the product has not been left outdoors, fungus develops in its structure. Therefore, over time, the product becomes moldy and has an unsightly appearance. It is no coincidence that European and Chinese manufacturers do not produce gypsum products!

Therefore, we completely repurposed production and abandoned gypsum material. Almost all of our clients have switched from selling plaster garden figures to polystone figures.

Nowadays there are many materials on the market - some have a low cost, but the quality leaves much to be desired, others have high quality, but the price is not available to a wide range of buyers. An alternative can be the artificial stone Polystone - for a relatively low cost, the buyer receives a high-quality, durable material.

Artificial stone Polystone for creating unique interiors

What is artificial stone and what is its advantage over other materials?

For many, the term “artificial” means the presence of harmful chemicals. But, artificial stone contains substances that are completely harmless to health human contact with food is allowed.

Artificial components make it durable and resistant to various influences. He absorbed everything best properties natural materials, while depriving them of their shortcomings.

ABOUT THE MANUFACTURER POLYSTONE

It is produced by Polystone Corporation, which was established in 1998 in China. The plant is equipped modern equipment, new technologies are being developed and implemented.

COMPOUND

Acrylic stone different manufacturers has almost the same composition. Polystone artificial stone is no exception. It consists of aluminum trihydrate, acrylic resin and pigments.

ADVANTAGES OF POLYSTONE

Acrylic stone from this manufacturer has all the properties of products from other manufacturers. The quality is confirmed by certificates and various studies.

  • RESISTANCE TO UV RAYS. The stone under the influence of UV rays does not change its color throughout its entire service life. This property was confirmed by relevant studies - the surface was exposed to ultraviolet rays for 200 hours. The study showed that no signs appeared after exposure artificial aging, there were no cracks or other damage. According to the manufacturers themselves, the natural aging period of the material is 15 years.
  • CHEMICAL RESISTANCE. Contact with weak solutions of alkali and acids on the surface does not harm it. To determine stability during the study, the surface was exposed to acetone, citric acid, acetic acid for 16 hours. It did not harm the surface.
  • STRENGTH AND IMPACT RESISTANCE. The surface can withstand a drop of a steel ball weighing 210 grams from a height of 60 centimeters. This indicates that in everyday conditions, the material can cope with the loads.
  • FIRE RESISTANCE. This property is important for any interior – domestic and public. The material is resistant to high temperatures and fire; even a lit cigarette does not leave a mark on the surface. However, it is not recommended to place hot objects on the surface.
  • POSSIBILITY TO CREATE PRODUCTS OF ANY SHAPE. Thermoforming is unique property artificial stone, which has made the material the number one choice for designers. Under the influence of a certain temperature, Polystone acquires a given shape, and after cooling it retains it.
  • HYGIENE. The surface of acrylic stone is completely smooth and has no pores. Accordingly, it is easy to care for, dirt can be removed without problems.
  • REPAIRABILITY. The appearance of chips and scratches is not a reason to change a Polystone countertop; it lends itself well to restoration.
  • DURABILITY. At proper care the material will last a long time. The manufacturer provides a ten-year warranty on the material and products made from it.

COLLECTIONS

Acrylic stone Polystone is presented in three series. What they have in common is that all the colors are somewhat muted. The color range of Polystone repeats the classic DuPont palette.

A distinctive feature of acrylic stone from this manufacturer is that the cost does not depend on the color. Whereas with most other manufacturers, the larger the inclusions, the higher the cost.

Three Polystone series are available:

  • STANDARD SERIES– the name speaks for itself, here are the most various shades By affordable price. When thermoforming stone of this series, the minimum internal bending radius is 80 mm. Permissible temperature thermoforming 130 degrees for no more than 15 minutes.
  • MARBLE SERIES– combined colors that imitate the colors and shades of natural marble. This is an exclusive series of the company. Thermoforming of this series has its own peculiarities - for the manufacture of radius parts, the stacking method is used, that is, the thickness is increased layer by layer, and after that the stone is processed to the required radius.
  • KRISTALL SERIES– represented by surfaces with inclusions that imitate the shine of crystals. The manufacturer recommends using the collection for the manufacture of products that are not subject to intensive use. When thermoforming stone of this series, the minimum internal bending radius is 200 mm. The permissible thermoforming temperature is 130 degrees for no more than 15 minutes.

APPLICATION OF ACRYLIC STONE POLYSTONE

Material supplied in sheets, and then products are made from them required sizes. Most often they are made from Polystone table tops. These can be countertops for bathrooms, kitchens, countertops for bar counters, and reception counters. Their scope has no restrictions.

They are relevant for public premises with high traffic flow, as they not only look attractive, but also have high performance characteristics. Establishments Catering This material is valued for its high hygiene and environmental friendliness; it meets all the norms and standards that apply to such establishments.

With artificial stone Polystone you can transform living spaces beyond recognition, be it a kitchen, living room or bathroom.

A little more about Polystone

Polystone- fake diamond, the best way combining the advantages of natural stone given to it by nature itself, such as beauty, grace and hardness, and the achievements of modern science that improve its characteristics.

Polystone is a material widely used in production various items interior design for home, office and public spaces. It's modern and universal material, perfect for making countertops, counters (bar, administrative, kitchen and others), sinks and bathtubs, and many other items for a wide variety of purposes.

Compared to other similar materials, polystone is distinguished by its impeccable quality and affordable price, which makes it a very attractive product for the consumer. One of the main advantages of polystone, in contrast to natural materials, is its ease of processing and solidity (no joints or seams), which allows you to create truly unique products.

Polystone is created on the basis of acrylic resin with the addition of aluminum hydroxide and pigments. This connection makes the structure of the artificial stone homogeneous, in which cracks and pores are eliminated. Thanks to these properties, polystone does not absorb odor and moisture, which prevents rotting and the development of bacteria and mold. Accordingly, the hygienic qualities of polystone allow it to be widely used in medical institutions and public catering places (restaurants, bistros, cafes and others).

The Polystone color spectrum includes about 40 color options, which allows you to bring to life the most daring color solutions: from natural shades stone to the brightest.

There are several qualities of polystone that distinguish it from other artificial materials:

  • It is processed mechanically: ground and cut like stone.
  • Easily combined with wood, glass, metal and other materials. Parts made of different materials fit together without visible seams and allow designers to widely use this quality. You can combine not only materials, but also colors, inlay with decorations and patterns. It depends only on the boldness of design decisions.
  • Artificial stone is not only resistant to water, but also does not react with air, weak solutions of acids and alkalis. It is not stained by food juices, drinks, and is immune to petroleum products, shampoos and other household products.
  • Environmental friendliness artificial material proven by scientists, confirmed by quality certificates and leaves no doubt. Polystone is absolutely harmless to humans, has no odor, and does not emit radiation. In our age high technology, when science moves by leaps and bounds, sometimes forgetting about environmental safety, these properties of polystone are especially relevant and are taken into account by many potential buyers.
  • Resistance to ultraviolet rays. Even with intense irradiation, cracks and bubbles do not appear on the surface.
  • Immunity to high temperatures. Material can withstand temperature regime up to 180 degrees.

In modern world this type artificial stone is widely used in many interiors: in the office, at home, in the kitchen and bathroom, in the decoration of signs, window sills, stair railings, fountains, etc. Polystone is an excellent material, superior to natural stone in durability, impact resistance, restoreability, moisture resistance, and heat resistance. In addition, the buyer will be pleased with the price and variety of offers. All these qualities allow the designer to create and create all kinds of imaginable and inconceivable artistic images in the interior, which will be appreciated by consumers.

WARRANTY FOR ARTIFICIAL STONE POLYSTONE UP TO 2 YEARS, depending on the complexity of the product.

Due to its strength, durability and heat resistance, polystone allows you to create practical and reliable things.

Production technology and characteristics

There has already been talk about what polystone is, what type of stone it is - it was not indicated. It should be noted that it is not a simple artificial stone, but a high-tech finishing material. It has a complex chemical composition. Its original composition is subjected to pressure at high temperature. This results in a material that has a number of physical and chemical characteristics providing good quality:

    When cutting and grinding, polystone behaves like natural stone.

    The material is highly resistant to chemicals, acids, alkalis and water.

    It cannot be colored with food or artificial coloring.
