Many people find it difficult to choose a kitchen faucet. What material is good when choosing a kitchen faucet, and how to choose it?

    Material

    At present, there are many types of materials for faucets on the market, common materials such as titanium alloy, aluminum alloy, stainless steel, copper, and iron. Then when we choose, we must consider its durability and environmental protection.

    Quality

    Generally, the body of the faucet is made of brass. The quality of products made of this material is relatively guaranteed. The higher the purity of brass, the less likely it will be corroded. Therefore, it is better to choose this kind of material. However, there is also a zinc alloy on the market to replace brass. , this is a material made by merchants in order to reduce costs, but this kind of material is not as corrosion-resistant as brass, and its quality is also poor.

    When we don’t know how to distinguish the two when we choose, we use estimated weight to identify them. Zinc alloy is lighter and softer, while brass is harder and heavier.

    Faucet spool

    The spool is the heart of the faucet. Therefore, when we choose the spool, we must check its quality. At present, the spools with better quality on the market are made of ceramics, which have good sealing performance and wear resistance. Sex is also strong, the price is not high.

    Coating thickness

    At present, among the vast majority of chrome-plated products on the market, the coating thickness of ordinary products is 20 microns. After a long time of use, the material of this thickness is easily oxidized by air, resulting in rust. The better quality is copper chrome plating. Its plating thickness is 28 microns. This color is brighter, the structure is tighter, it is not easy to be oxidized by air, and its service life is longer.
