Abstract

In this paper we introduce the novel molding material "Designed Granite;" a combination of high performance resin and natural granite. In kitchen countertops, furniture or interior decoration, natural stone, with its high-grade image, is widely used but it has some severe disadvantages: e.g., heavy weight, brittleness, porosity, nonuniform surface pattern, along with poor workability. We have now developed a unique aesthetic material which overcomes these disadvantages of natural stone. This material was developed using both material and process to combine: (a) High filler content of crushed natural granite of large diameter (b) A new compounding and mixing process to produce BMC (c) Special tool design (d) High pressure and temperature compression molding (e) Polishing and cutting operations In comparison with a natural granite, DIC HICERAMI8 stone has better durability, stain resistance and workability. It is the best material for kitchen countertops, walls, floors, furniture and other high fashion surface-decoration applications.
