How to produce artificial stone by stone mold?

News 2024年3月14日 99

Producing artificial stone typically involves a combination of natural aggregates, such as crushed stone or sand, and a binding agent, such as resin or cement. The specific process can vary depending on the desired type of artificial stone and the manufacturer’s techniques. However, here is a general overview of the steps involved in producing artificial stone:

Material selection: A. Lightweight ceramsite/stone; Small ceramsite (1-3mm) and Large ceramsite (7-10mm);B. 42.5# Portland cement;C. Washed sand or coarse sand with small stones;D. Water reducing agent; cold northern climate: antifreeze;E. Pigment: Shanghai Yipin; Germany Bayer;F. Release agent.

Mixing the aggregates: Combine the selected aggregates with the binding agent in the desired proportions. The binding agent helps hold the aggregates together and gives the artificial stone its strength and durability.

Additives and pigments: Depending on the desired color and properties of the artificial stone, you may add additives such as accelerators, retarders, or plasticizers to modify the curing time or workability. Pigments can also be added to achieve specific colors or patterns.

Molding: Pour the mixed material into a mold or formwork that is designed to give the desired shape and size to the artificial stone. Use vibration or other techniques to remove any air bubbles and ensure the mixture fills the mold completely.

Demolding and finishing: Once the artificial stone has cured, carefully remove it from the mold. Trim or shape the edges if needed, and perform any additional finishing processes like polishing or texturing to achieve the desired surface appearance.
