This document describes systems and processes for forming synthetic molded slabs, which may be suitable for use in living or working spaces (e.g., along a countertop, table, floor, or the like).

The invention discloses an artificial nacre material with layered structure and preparation method thereof. The preparation method includes the following steps: uniformly mixing a carbonated cementitious material and water at a water-solid ratio of 0.3 to 1.2 to obtain a carbonated cementitious material suspension; treating the carbonated cementitious material suspension by a freeze-casting process to obtain a carbonated cementitious material coagulation with layered structure; treating the carbonated cementitious material coagulation with the layered structure by a freeze-drying process to obtain a carbonated cementitious material with layered structure; treating the carbonated cementitious material with layered structure by a carbonization process to obtain an artificial nacre material with layered structure. The obtained artificial nacre material with layered structure has higher fracture toughness and durability, and the preparation method has the advantages of low energy consumption, carbon dioxide fixation and environmental friendliness.

An engineered stone product is made using a material that includes ceramic powder, glass sand, and a binder.

An artificial stone and a curable composition for manufacturing the artificial stone are provided. The curable composition is capable of manufacturing an artificial stone that has excellent optical properties, is free to show color and the like, has excellent physical properties such as scratch resistance, and also has remarkable light resistance. The curable composition has formability and physical properties that are suitable for being formed into artificial stone.

The invention relates to a curable casting compound for the manufacture of molded plastics, comprising a binder component composition and a composition of the filler component, wherein the filler component composition comprise at least one magnetic metal oxide, in particular magnetite, in a proportion of 1 to 100 percent by weight, in relation to the total mass of the composition of the filler component.

The invention relates to the use of feldspar granules with a particular combination of oxide constituents in the manufacture of artificial agglomerate stone materials and to the agglomerate stone materials resulting thereof.
