Polystone test guides

Non-water-absorption

Polystone's water absorption is 0.03%, which is 1/300 of that of natural marble.

Ultraviolet resistance

There is no crack, bubble and color change on Polystone after 200-hour continuous intense ultraviolet radiation in artificial fast aging test. Its natural aging period is about 15 years.

High-temperature resistance

There is no change after a hot pan containing 180¡æ glycerine has been placed on Polystone panels for 20 minutes.

Pollution resistance

Nothing penetrates Polystone panels after lipsticks, shoeshine, hair oil, ink and crayons have been placed on Polystone panels for 16 hours.

Corrosion resistance

There is no change after citric acid, ammonia, iodine, gasoline, alcohol, acetone, sodium hydroxide, hydrochloric acid, gentian, hydrogen peroxide solution, urine, methylbenzene, acetic acid and amyl ester have been placed on Polystone panels for 16 hours.

Shock resistance

There is no change after a 210g steel ball with a diameter of 55mm has fallen freely from a place 60cm high and impacted Polystone panels.

Large load

There is no change after a 135kg load has been placed on a hung Polystone panel with the dimension of 610mm¡Á19mm.

Non-shrinking

There is no change after 250 times of 90-second impact on Polystone's surface with 88¡æ hot water, and 90-second impact with 21¡æ cold water successively.

Incombustible

Polystone panels do not burn and no flame appears after a lit cigarette has been placed on them for 2 minutes.
