Microwave rapid curing technology: Research shows that the use of microwave technology can significantly shorten the curing time of artificial marble, from 10 to 15 days of natural curing to less than 1 hour. This method not only improves product quality but also improves key indicators such as gloss, uniformity, and linear thermal expansion coefficient.

High-temperature aging treatment: At high temperatures (300°C to 600°C), the physical and mechanical properties of marble and marble change significantly, especially thermal diffusivity and elastic modulus. This suggests that under extreme temperature conditions, the physical and mechanical properties of marble may be affected.

Strengthening treatment: By adding different materials, such as mullite fiber and flake alumina, the flexural strength and fracture toughness of artificial marble can be enhanced. These improved materials show better overall properties, including compressive strength, flexural strength, and tensile strength.

Water resistance and stain resistance: Different types of protective agents have different effects on the short-term and long-term water resistance, acid resistance, and alkali resistance of marble, among which silicone protective agents perform best.

Natural Weathering and Deterioration: Natural marble is susceptible to acid rain in urban environments, causing rapid surface degradation. However, laboratory model predictions indicate that under certain conditions, the surface degradation rate of marble can be effectively controlled.

Large-sized artificial marble has good stability under different environmental conditions, especially in microwave rapid curing, high-temperature aging treatment, toughening treatment, and the application of specific protective agents.
