There are many types of mosaic tiles on the market, including recycled mosaics, crystal mosaics, ceramic mosaics, etc. The most common ones are recycled mosaics and crystal mosaics, but crystal mosaics and recycled mosaics are very, very similar. I believe most of It will be confused, so how to distinguish the difference between crystal mosaic and recycled mosaic? Let me introduce their differences in detail for you!
The following is a list of contents:

1. Glass (Na2O·CaO·6SiO2), the main component of the recycled mosaic is silicon dioxide.
2. Quartz Crystal SiO2 and man-made crystal is a kind of high-lead glass, also known as lead crystal glass, with 24% lead oxide PbO added to ordinary glass. Make it into a crystal mosaic.
Because the recycled mosaic material is made of glass, small pieces of glass are easy to scratch, but it is stable, reflective, and dazzling. It can also be pasted with multi-diamonds, and it is not easy to pollute.
The main feature of crystal mosaic is its high specific gravity and heavy hand feeling; the refractive index is relatively large, and it can transmit various colorful spectrums under the sun, which is very charming; the hardness of crystal mosaic is also higher than that of recycled mosaic, so it can wear and resist pressure for a long time.
When we distinguish between crystal mosaic and recycled mosaic, we can tap the surface of the mosaic lightly and listen carefully to see if there is a difference in the sounds they make. Generally, the sound produced by crystal mosaic is crisp and sweet, similar to the sound of striking metal. The sound of the recycled mosaic is bulky and dull.
If the two are mosaics of the same size and thickness, the weight of the crystal mosaic is generally heavier and the hand feels heavier. Recycled mosaics are generally lighter in weight.
Because of the different materials, the crystal mosaic can transmit colorful light, and the frequency of refraction is also different. However, since glass products do not have this characteristic, recycled mosaics cannot emit colorful lights.
Because the materials of the two are different, the hardness of the crystal mosaic is higher than that of the recycled mosaic. If you use the crystal mosaic to scratch the surface of the recycled mosaic, a trace will be left. On the contrary, if you use the recycled mosaic to scratch the crystal mosaic in reverse, it will not produce a trace.
The above content mainly introduces the difference between crystal mosaic and recycled mosaic. I hope it can help friends who need to understand this aspect.
