At present, 99% of domestic and foreign faucets are electroplated with copper. Stainless steel faucets have only begun to become popular now, which is a new trend in the market. Stainless steel faucet has the advantage that copper faucet cannot be reached. Due to the difficulty of processing, the price of stainless steel faucet is a little more expensive than copper faucet, but some classic styles have reached the same price as copper faucet, so stainless steel faucet is the future faucet Star.

Advantages of stainless steel faucets

a. The stainless steel faucet is safe and lead-free, free of corrosion and exudation, no odor or turbidity, and will not cause secondary pollution to the water quality, keep the water quality pure and hygienic, and achieve complete guarantee of hygiene and safety.

Field corrosion test data shows that the service life of stainless steel can reach 100 years, and there is almost no maintenance during the life cycle, which avoids the cost and trouble of faucet replacement and low operating costs. Realize the same life of stainless steel faucet and building.

b, 304 # stainless steel does not contain lead, does not rust, is environmentally friendly and sanitary. It is a worldwide consensus that stainless steel products do not need to be electroplated. In the process of polishing the surface, only the powder and dust generated by the polishing material are filtered. The pollution to the air environment is very small, and there is no occupational disease caused by the polishing of stainless steel.

c. It should not only have sanitary and cleaning functions, but also include health care functions, appreciation functions, and entertainment functions. In terms of use functions, faucet stainless steel faucets are more humane.

Defects of current copper faucets

a. Generally, the lead content in copper and copper faucet castings is 4% -8%. If the faucet is not used for a long time, green patina will be generated on the inner wall, and harmful substances such as lead may be released into the tap water. Drinking water that is too high in lead can cause lead poisoning.

b. The surface of the copper faucet needs electroplating. The electroplating brings serious environmental pollution. The copper surface treatment method is nickel and chromium plating. The surface is not resistant to acids and alkalis, and cannot be washed with washing water and hard towels, which is inconvenient to care. It will slowly lose surface gloss and pitting in 1 to 2 years, and 3 to 5 years in slowness. Finally, the plating layer will peel off, exposing patina.
