Looking for Bahia Blue made of Crystallized glass

One customer came to our Crystallized glass factory and wondered if we can make Bahia Blue slabs ( a precious Brazilian natural stone ) . Artificial Bahia blue samples showed by that customer was made of Crystallized glass granules by someone .

It is true that many factory has tried to fake natural stone using Crystallized glass and some nice product came out like Royal Botticino and water wave . However , it is time and money consuming from process of development to finally producing . Our factory Sanlong Minicrystal can produce the black Crystallized glass panel , but the material is too expensive to be accepted by our customer that normally we don't produce it unless the quantity is very big .

Why white crystallized glass , not white marble ?

Crystallized glass are called Artificial marble . Many people tend to choose White Crystallized glass , instead of White marble . Blow are several reasons Customers are choosing Crystallized glass . 

1,Pure White and crystal surface.
Made by twice melt & crystallization , Crystallized glass has the same crystallized texture as natural marble . For the material used , the color of Pure white is available and the surface present the crystal glossiness . 

2, Little maintenance needed .
When it comes to natural marble , cracks on the surface cannot be avoided , that is why mesh backing are used on the back and sealing is necessary . However , mesh backing and sealing are not needed for Crystallized glass . Compared with Marble , Crystallized glass is acid and alkali resistant , time and money will be saved after installed . What is more , Crystallized glass has zero water absorption , stains can be easily wiped out by a wet rug . Harder than marble , scratch are resistant .

The differences between Crystallized glass and Nano glass

It is easy to mix Crystallized glass and Nano glass , though they are different in many aspects . 

1, Materials .
Materials of crystallized glass , Nano glass are different  , though they both comprise quartz sands that take up about 30% of the whole raw materials . Crystallized glass consists of soda feldspar, calcium carbonate ..., while Nano glass consists of Lithium feldspar , silicate , potassium carbonate ... 

2,Processing technology 
It takes twice melt & crystallization to produce crystallized glass from power materials to panels which is like the formation of natural granite.  Crystallized granules formed in the first furnace under high temperature will then be sent to the slab mold in the second kiln to melt and then crystallize under high temperature .  For more information Manufacturing process of Crystallized Glass


For Nano , It takes only one melt & cooling down to panels , which is more like the processing of glass ( a reason why Nano 1 breaks easily  , there are three generations of Nano glass , the hardness of next generation increased , now only Nano 3 being produced in some Chinese factories ) . The melt materials will cool down in a long slab mold under high pressure . In the end , The big slab will be cut into small slabs .  

3, Appearance .
Polished Crystallized glass has small patterns on the surface which you may not realize, while Nano glass has no details  . Though Crystallized glass has more details , it is not as white as Nano glass .  You can only find the white Nano glass in the market even in 2013 , however , colors of crystallized glass is varied . 

The other difference in appearance is crystallized glass is porous , while Nano glass is non-porous .
