Acrylic Artificial Stone-the Safety of Decorative Materials

In spaces closely related to daily life such as kitchens and bathrooms, the safety of decorative materials directly affects the health of family members. Acrylic artificial stone, with its core advantage of being environmentally friendly and radiation free, has become an ideal material for kitchen countertops, bathroom washbasins, and can meet functional requirements while also building a safety barrier for the home environment.

The environmental characteristics are reflected in the entire production and use cycle of materials. The main components of acrylic artificial stone are methyl methacrylate resin and natural mineral powder. The production process adopts a formaldehyde free formula and has passed the environmental testing of the National Building Materials Testing Center. The formaldehyde emission is less than 0.01mg/m ⊃3;, far below the national standard (≤ 0.124mg/m ⊃3;). The raw materials do not contain harmful heavy metals (lead, cadmium, mercury, etc.), and the soluble heavy metal content meets the requirements of the EU REACH regulation. Even in long-term use, harmful substances will not precipitate. Compared with traditional stone, its production process reduces energy consumption by 30%, and the scraps can be recycled and reused, reducing resource waste and in line with the concept of green environmental protection. For example, in the installation of kitchen countertops, the waste generated from cutting can be recycled and processed by the manufacturer to avoid environmental pollution caused by construction waste.

The advantage of non radiation makes acrylic artificial stone safer in enclosed spaces. Natural stone materials (such as marble and granite) often contain varying degrees of radioactive substances (radon gas, etc.), and long-term exposure may pose potential hazards to the human body. Acrylic artificial stone, through artificial synthesis, eliminates the presence of radioactive substances from the source. After testing by professional institutions, its radiation dose rate is less than 0.05 μ Sv/h, which is equivalent to the indoor background radiation level. It can be safely used in spaces such as kitchens and bathrooms where it stays for a long time. For families with pregnant women and children, choosing acrylic artificial stone as the countertop material can effectively avoid radiation risks and provide additional protection for family health.

The safe application of kitchen environment benefits from the stable performance of materials. Frequent exposure to cooking oil, soy sauce, vinegar and other seasonings, as well as cleaning agents and other chemicals in the kitchen, will not cause corrosion to acrylic artificial stone. The inert resin layer on its surface can resist acid and alkali erosion, and even if lemon juice, cooking wine, and other materials are placed on the table for a long time, there will be no discoloration or deformation. In high temperature environments, the material exhibits stability and does not produce odors or release harmful substances when exposed to 100 ℃ cookware for a short period of time, meeting food safety contact standards. For example, during the cooking process, if a hot soup pot is accidentally placed on the countertop, it only needs to be removed in time, and the countertop will not leave burn marks or release toxic gases due to high temperatures.

The safety application of bathroom spaces focuses on waterproofing, mold prevention, and health protection. The dense structure of acrylic artificial stone does not absorb water. During installation, seamless splicing technology is used to eliminate gaps, prevent moisture from infiltrating and breeding mold, and reduce bacterial contamination in the bathroom. Its surface is smooth and easy to clean, and ordinary bathroom cleaners can remove soap stains and water stains without the need for strong acid and alkali detergents, reducing the risk of chemical residues. For common steam environments in bathrooms, materials will not expand or crack due to moisture, nor will they release irritating odors, ensuring fresh air in the bathroom space. For example, installing acrylic artificial stone washbasins near damp shower areas can maintain dryness, cleanliness, and no signs of mold after long-term use.

From three meals a day in the kitchen to daily grooming in the bathroom, acrylic artificial stone provides a healthy and reliable decoration solution for the core areas of homes with its environmentally friendly and radiation free characteristics and stable safety performance, allowing every family to use it with peace of mind and truly achieve a dual guarantee of beauty and safety.
