What is sintered stone made of?

Nov 08, 2023

Sintered stone is made through a process that involves combining natural minerals and then subjecting them to high heat and pressure. The result is a high-performance material that exhibits qualities such as resistance to scratches, stains, heat, and UV light. Sintered stone is known for its versatility, making it suitable for a wide range of applications, including countertops, flooring, wall cladding, and more. The exact composition may vary among manufacturers, but the typical components of sintered stone include:

  • Natural Minerals: These can include quartz, feldspar, silica, and other minerals sourced from nature. The specific minerals used contribute to the stone's hardness, durability, and aesthetic characteristics.
  • Pigments: Various pigments may be added to achieve the desired color and pattern of the final sintered stone product. This allows for a wide range of design possibilities.
  • Binders: Some formulations may include binders or additives to enhance the material's cohesive properties during the sintering process. These binders contribute to the strength and resilience of the finished product.
  • High Heat and Pressure: The key step in sintered stone production involves subjecting the mixture of natural minerals, pigments, and binders to extremely high temperatures and pressure. This process, known as sintering, causes the particles to fuse together, creating a dense and durable material.
  • Advanced Technology: Manufacturers use cutting-edge technology to control the sintering process, ensuring uniformity and consistency in the final product. This technology allows for the creation of large slabs with various thicknesses.
