Production of inorganic artificial stone by using China red granite scrap

This paper’s study was taking advantage of red granite scrap as main materials and adding inorganic adhesive as binding materials，with some red inorganic pigments and other admixtures，produced red artificial stones.The results show that compressive strength of the product was 92.8 MPa when it was maintained for 28 days，the flexural strength was 11.9 MPa，the water absorption rate was 3.46%，and the gloss was 63.8.The product’s performance is more than the national standard of “Terrazzo for building decoration—Cementitious terrazzo”.Its radioactive property is in line with the national standard of class A decoration materials，so its production，marketing and usage can not be restricted.
