Epoxy grinding stone and inorganic grinding stone are both modern decorative floor materials, and there are some differences between them in terms of material, construction technology and decorative effect.
First of all, from the perspective of material, epoxy grinding stone is made of epoxy resin, curing agent, pigment and filler, etc., which is mixed to form a decorative ground through stirring, scraping, grinding and other processes. The inorganic grinding stone is made of inorganic mineral materials, cement, water glass, etc., and is formed to decorate the ground through mixing, pouring, grinding and other processes.
Epoxy grinding stone and inorganic grinding stone are two different building decoration materials, and they have obvious differences in material composition, performance characteristics and application scenarios
Epoxy grinding stone: **
1.*Material composition**: Mainly made of epoxy resin as cementing material, with aggregates of different particle sizes (such as quartz sand, granite particles, glass beads, etc.).
2.Decorative: Epoxy resin has good colorability and transparency, and can achieve a variety of color matching and pattern design, including customized art effects, so it is more decorative.
3.*Physical Properties**: Epoxy grinding stone floor has a high gloss (up to the mirror effect), a smooth and wear-resistant surface, a high Mohs hardness, and excellent chemical corrosion resistance, suitable for places with high requirements for cleanliness and aesthetics, such as shopping malls, exhibition halls, high-end offices, airports, hospitals, schools, etc.
4.Weather resistance: Epoxy grinding stone is not suitable for outdoor environment, because epoxy resin is sensitive to ultraviolet rays, and long-term exposure will reduce its mechanical properties and color stability.
Inorganic grinding stones: **
1.*Material composition**: cement or similar inorganic mineral cementitious materials (such as Portland cement, etc.) are used as binders and aggregates are used.
2.*Decorative**: The color selection of inorganic grinding stone may be slightly simpler than epoxy grinding stone, but it can also be enhanced by adding colored aggregates, although it is not as delicate and complex as epoxy grinding stone.
3.*Physical Properties**: Inorganic grinding stones can also be made seamless, with a certain strength and durability, and over time, sometimes it can show a charm effect the older it is, especially in some retro-style applications.
4.Weather resistance: Due to its inorganic properties, inorganic grinding stone is usually more suitable for outdoor or high-volume, heavy-load indoor environment, it has good weather resistance, fire resistance and environmental protection, and is not easy to age for long-term use.
In summary, epoxy grinding stone is more decorative and visually appealing, making it suitable for high-end indoor spaces, while inorganic grinding stone is more economical and durable, especially for public areas and industrial environments that require durability and ease of maintenance.
