Many friends are not very familiar with the difference between organic terrazzo and inorganic terrazzo. Is inorganic terrazzo better or organic terrazzo better? Today, the terrazzo manufacturer will share with you the difference between organic and inorganic terrazzo
- Materials and ingredients
Organic terrazzo: Made of epoxy resin as raw material, with aggregates such as crushed stone, glass, and quartz stone added, and finely ground and polished. Its production process is fire-free, resin-free, zero-emission, and low-energy, ensuring environmental protection performance from the source.
Inorganic terrazzo: Made of special cement as raw material, with inorganic aggregates such as quartz sand added, and does not contain additives such as organic resin.
- Color and Pattern
Organic terrazzo: unlimited colors and patterns, bright colors, good customizability and styling, can meet the design needs of various complex spaces.
Inorganic terrazzo: unlimited patterns, but some colors are not as bright as organic terrazzo. However, inorganic terrazzo can also show a unique personality style through dyeing, polishing and other methods
- Usage Environment
Organic terrazzo: Mainly used indoors, because it will oxidize and discolor when exposed to ultraviolet light when used outdoors. However, due to its rich colors and diverse patterns, it is very suitable for indoor places such as hospitals, schools, shopping malls, and office buildings.
Inorganic terrazzo: It can be used both indoors and outdoors, including special-shaped structures such as benches and flower beds. It has strong weather resistance, is suitable for outdoor environments, and is not easy to discolor or reduce brightness.
- Hardness and wear resistance
Organic terrazzo: Mohs hardness 5-6, slightly weaker scratch resistance. However, due to the addition of organic resin, its flexibility, crack resistance and impermeability are improved.
Inorganic terrazzo: Mohs hardness 6-7, good wear resistance, high hardness. Long-term use will not cause obvious wear on the surface.
In summary, organic terrazzo and inorganic terrazzo are different in terms of material, color, usage environment, hardness and wear resistance, etc. The choice of material should be determined based on specific needs and budget.
