What is the material classification of the faucet?

1、Brass

Brass is the most common material for faucet manufacturing. It is made of international standard H59/H62 copper. Casting is carried out by gravity casting with steel mold. The wall thickness is even, generally 2.5-3.0 mm.

The faucet made of brass is characterized by: no rust, durable, anti-oxidation, bactericidal effect on water (disadvantages; lead, lead is a kind of metal that is harmful to health, international standards require that lead in copper content should not exceed 2.5%.

2、Stainless steel

In the 21st century, health and environmental protection have gradually become the new theme of modern life. Stainless steel is an internationally recognized healthy material that can be implanted into the human body. Therefore, kitchen and bathroom products made of stainless steel have become popular in Europe and the United States.

However, due to the high hardness and toughness of stainless steel, it is difficult to manufacture and process, which seriously affects the mass production of stainless steel faucets. Therefore, the price of real 304 stainless steel faucets is higher than that of copper.

Its characteristics are: health, environmental protection; all materials are made of high quality 304 stainless steel, no rust, no lead, the faucet itself will not cause secondary lead pollution to the water source, harming people's health, can create a healthy kitchen for us. Hygienic living water environment.

3、 Zinc alloy

For low-grade materials, the density of zinc alloy is smaller than that of copper, and the faucet without copper is heavy. From the inner wall, the surface of zinc alloy is easily oxidized, and white oxidized powder appears on the surface.

The strength is much worse than copper, the service life is not long, and the lead content is high. If the faucet made of zinc alloy is oxidized and rotted only for one to two years.

Nowadays, zinc alloy is mainly used for the manufacture of faucets. It is die-casted from zinc alloy and then chrome-plated. Most of the faucet handles on the market are zinc alloy.

4、Engineering plastics

ABS plastic faucet is a new type of green environmental protection product with corrosion resistance, anti-aging, no rust, no lead, no toxicity, no odor, high pressure resistance, light weight, simple construction and low price.

The faucet made of plastic is environmentally friendly, non-toxic, non-polluting, compact in shape, simple and convenient to install, and meets the standards of national drinking and drinking water for the public.
