The present invention relates to an artificial stone tile comprising natural rock and a method for manufacturing the same. According to the present invention, the artificial stone tile may be manufactured by finely crushing natural rock, which is inexpensive to marble or granite, mixing the powder with an adhesive for increasing cohesion, heat resistance, durability and strength, forming the mixture into a tile shape under high pressure, and subjecting the formed tile to first calculation at high temperature, quenching at cold temperature, and second calcination at low temperature. The artificial stone tile may reproduce the same texture as natural stone, has better abrasion resistance and strength, is environmentally friendly without using synthetic resin, and may be supplied at low prices.

The invention relates to an environment-friendly artificial stone with low cost and high strength and a preparation method thereof, the artificial stone comprises the following raw materials in parts by mass: 60-80 parts of fritted sand; 10-30 parts of quartz powder; 9-14 parts of terephthalic unsaturated polyester resin; 0.6-1 parts of curing agent; 0.8-1 parts of coupling agent; 0.5-1 parts of pigment paste; 0.1-1 parts of pigment powder. The invention has advantages of: (1) using mine solid waste or waste materials as raw materials, and using blast-furnace gas and coke-oven gas recovered and purified in the productive process of the steel plant and coking plant as fuel, the production process is green and environment-friendly, which can recycle waste materials. (2) high strength, natural stripe, elegance appearance, green and environmental protection, and being recognized by global customers and promising in worldwide market.

A cladding system for use on the external surface of a building structure that includes a continuous rail system to attach a cladding panel that interlocks with itself. The rail system includes a tongue and groove system to attach the cladding system to the building thereby avoiding the need to use discrete anchors. The cladding panel is formed of a high strength concrete matrix and, optionally, a plurality of twisted steel micro reinforcements (TSMR) dispersed therein.

Disclosed are a polymer cement-granite composite tomb box and a preparation method thereof. The tomb box has a layered structure or an upper-lower composite structure, where the layered structure is composed of one or two layers of granite slabs and one layer of the polymer cement, and an upper portion of the upper-lower composite structure is made of granite slabs, and an lower portion of the upper-lower composite structure is made of the polymer cement or a combination of the polymer cement and the granite slabs.

An engineered stone includes a light transmitting mother material (I) and a phosphorescent chip (II). The light transmitting mother material (I) includes about 7 wt % to about 12 wt % of an unsaturated polyester resin (A), about 88 wt % to about 93 wt % of a silica-containing compound (B) and about 0.01 part by weight to about 1 part by weight of an organic/inorganic pigment (C) based on about 100 parts by weight of the unsaturated polyester resin (A). The phosphorescent chip (II) includes about 8 wt % to about 15 wt % of an unsaturated polyester resin (A), about 85 wt % to about 92 wt % of a silica-containing compound (B) and about 2 parts by weight to about 10 parts by weight of a phosphorescent pigment (D) based on about 100 parts by weight of the unsaturated polyester resin (A).

The present invention relates to the use of carbon dioxide gas to cure concrete media by applying a pressure differential created through a partial replacement of the original ambient volume of air present in a curing enclosure with pure CO2 gas.

A decorative coatings method, system, device, and composition, wherein the initial part may be the blending of several materials to create the face coat. The next step may be the application of this face coat into a mold. Then the backfilling of this mold with another blended material that is not usually associated with the face coat. The method ensures the adhesion of the backfill to the face coat. The specific mixtures allow the materials to bond and form a solid product when removed from the mold.

The present disclosure describes architectural blocks configured to give the appearance of real cut stone. A plaster composition may be applied to one or more surfaces of a block, such as a concrete masonry unit (CMU) to form an architectural block having the appearance of cut stone. The plaster composition includes a cementitious component, such as white Portland cement, a limestone aggregate component, and optionally an adhesive component. The limestone aggregate component includes a fine sand portion and a coarse sand portion that effectively enable the appearance of cut stone after finishing of the plaster surface via sanding and/or polishing.

A resin composition for engineered stone according to the present invention is characterized by comprising: a matrix resin; an inorganic aggregate; and zinc oxide which has an average particle diameter of approximately 0.8 to approximately 3 m, and in which the size ratio (B/A) between a 450 to 600 nm region peak B and a 370 to 390 nm region peak A as measured by photoluminescence is approximately 0.01 to approximately 1.0. The resin composition for engineered stone has excellent weather resistance and antibacterial properties.

In a method for manufacturing articles in the form of a slab or block, the articles are obtained from an initial mix comprising aggregates and a binder. Synthetic aggregates and fillers have a hardness greater than or equal to 5 Mohs, and contain silicon dioxide substantially only in amorphous form, the silicon dioxide in crystalline form being present in quantities of less than 1% by weight.
