Artificial stone is a name for various kinds of synthetic stone products used from the 18th century onward. They have been used in building construction, civil engineering work, and industrial uses such as grindstones. Types of artificial stones have consisted of fine cement concrete placed to set in wooden or iron molds. It could be made more cheaply and more uniform than natural stone, and was widely used. In engineering projects, it had the advantage that transporting the bulk materials and casting them near the place of use was cheaper than transporting very large pieces of stone. Modern Cast stone is an architectural concrete building unit manufactured to simulate natural cut stone, used in unit masonry applications. Cast stone is a masonry product, used as an architectural feature, trim, ornament or facing for buildings or other structures. Cast stone can be made from white and/or grey cements, manufactured or natural sands, carefully selected crushed stone or well graded natural gravels and mineral coloring pigments to achieve the desired color and appearance while maintaining durable physical properties which exceed most natural cut building stones. Cast stone is an excellent replacement for natural cut limestone, brownstone, sandstone, bluestone, granite, slate, coral rock, travertine and other natural building stones. The artificial stone industry is mainly concentrated in Guangdong, Fujian, Shanghai, Jiangsu and other places. Due to natural sources of stone becoming less and less, and the punishment of the blind extraction, artificial stone has seen a strong demand in Guangdong and Xiamen. Artificial marble and engineered stone quartz in Guangdong, Shanghai and Fujian. Also known as engineered stone, artificial marble is mixed with marble powder, resin and pigment, and then cast using the vacuum oscillation to form the block. Cutting, calibration, grinding and polishing are then done to output the slabs. Some factories and companies have developed a special low-viscosity, high strength polyester resin, with which the mould-pressing artificial marble has high hardness, strength, good gloss, low water absorption, wear resistance, to meet exporting demand. The processing of engineered stone quartz and building stone is quite similar to artificial marble, and the difference is the use of different filler which is high wear-resistant quartz sand and quartz powder, about 90% filler content. Moths hardness of up to 7 anti-scratch, and its properties of stain, water and fire resistance will probably make this material as the most popular artificial stone in the future.
