The raw material is characterized in that 30 to 60 wt % of gypsum, 20 to 40 wt % of calcium carbonate, and 10 to 30 wt % of water are mixed.
Herein, the reason why 10 to 30 wt % of water is mixed on the basis of 100 parts by weight of the raw material is that a hardening speed varies according to a mixed amount of water. The reason for adjusting the hardening speed is that an operation of removing remaining bubbles in the molds after sequentially pouring the mixture formed by the raw material into a plurality of molds and then is required, and when the hardening speed is too fast, the bubbles can not be removed, and thus defects of the product occur.
Next, the functional ecostone according to the present invention is characterized in that the rose geranium extract, the basalt fibers, the mulberry fibers, the phytoncide, the ocher, and the charcoal are mixed in the raw material.
First, the rose geranium extract belongs to a pelargonium species, emits a pennyroyal mint perfume and a citronella perfume, and has effects of efficiently preventing and eradicating various harmful insects including mosquitoes from being approached through an insect repellent perfume characteristic having the perfumes.
The rose geranium extract may be extracted through various methods and for example, may be obtained by isolating and removing solids after separating and pressing leaves from rose geranium.
The rose geranium extract is mixed with 1 to 30 parts by weight on the basis of 100 parts by weight of the raw material. When the rose geranium extract is mixed with less than 1 part by weight, effects of blocking and eradicating mosquitoes and harmful insects may be deteriorated due to the lack of the content of ingredients. Further, the rose geranium extract has a feature of emitting a rose perfume to obtain effects as a flavoring agent when a large amount of rose geranium extract is mixed within a reference value range.
The basalt fibers are to fiberize natural basalt and have excellent tensile strength to have characteristics of low density, low thermal expansion, heat resistance, chemical stability, self-lubricating, elasticity, and sound absorption, and are strong in the fire and increase the tensile strength to compensate for a disadvantage of being easily broken.
The basalt fibers have more excellent property and eco-friendly than existing glass fibers to be suitable for interior finishing materials.
The basalt fibers are mixed with 2 to 10 parts by weight on the basis of 100 parts by weight of the raw material.
