Release time :2017-12-08

With the development of technology, now in the tap products, the manufacture of material is very large, copper, stainless steel, PVC, iron, zinc alloy and so on. In the faucet market, the most common faucet material for the whole copper and stainless steel, Xiaobian come today to talk about the advantages and disadvantages of these two materials.

 

 

 

First, the advantages of copper faucet:

(1) copper faucet technology mature, strong plasticity, and easy processing, can create a variety of shapes.

(2) The surface treatment process is very diverse, drawing, paint, color, porcelain and so on can be done, but also to create high-brightness mirror coating.

(3) high-grade faucet on the copper material and coating requirements of high, high-quality, complete plating has a very high corrosion resistance and high surface hardness.

 

Second, the shortcomings of copper faucet:

(1) Copper faucet surface plating no matter how thick, will fall off over time. After the oxidation will gradually lose the surface luster, from pitting, the final plating peeling ﹑ exposed rust, affect the appearance.

(2) The copper material itself contains lead, which is very harmful to the human body. However, it is impossible to achieve lead-free due to the limitation of the copper manufacturing process. The so-called "lead-free faucet" sold on the market is in fact only the meaning of "low lead content" and is not really "lead-free".

(3) electroplating process is not environmentally friendly, and the chemical plating produced by the ecological damage is extremely serious.

(4) The daily cleaning of copper faucets can not use detergents or hard towels, because most of the cleaning agent will erode the plating layer off, and hard towels and other cleaning materials will scratch the plating.

 

Third, the advantages of stainless steel faucet:

(1) Stainless steel is one of the most safe materials commonly used in the human body. Health, environmental protection, and corrosion resistance, non-harmful substances pollute the water.

(2) stainless steel faucet material has a strong corrosion resistance, and does not require plating, polishing surface only needs polishing, the color can be revealed.

(3) stainless steel faucet easy to clean, the best cleaning stainless steel faucet is: any kind of clean water and steel ball.

 

Fourth, the shortcomings of stainless steel faucet:

(1) stainless steel faucet surface technology is smaller, polished brightness without copper plating smooth high-end.

(2) Stainless steel faucet casting and processing technology are very complex, the melting point of stainless steel is about 1600 degrees, the melting point of copper is about 1000 degrees; stainless steel should be finished with casting, copper only need to use die-casting; therefore, the processing cost of stainless steel faucet is copper More than ten times.
