King Sang (Far East) is a manufacturer of cast stone products with production facilities in Shenzhen. This is the second time the company has taken part in the fair, for which it began preparations half a year ago.
The company will be exhibiting its line of products under the tradename MyStone.
Using natural marble wastage, the materials are crushed then reformed into various objects like vases, mirrors, fireplaces and ornamental bowls, says managing director Harry Chung Kwok-hing.
These are made from a mixture of hi-tech polymer with coarse and fine aggregates of white granite, dolomite, quartz, sand, marble or limestone, plus pigment and fibre-glass reinforcer.
They are then cast in molds taken from natural stone.
Compared with natural stone materials, MyStone has a higher compressive strength, a lower water-absorption rate, and is uniform in colour. It can be reinforced and the cost is usually very competitive with natural stone materials, especially regarding installation.
