Detailed analysis - in the end is a good stainless steel faucet or copper faucet?

The variety of faucets now has different characteristics. The different material faucets have different characteristics. Is the faucet made of stainless steel or copper? Many netizens are concerned about this issue. Here's a detailed analysis.


Stainless steel faucet


Stainless steel faucet

Because of the continuous development of the industry's level of technology and processes, a faucet emerged that solved the problem of lead in copper faucets, especially 304 stainless steel. It is a well-recognized health material with acid and alkali resistance. Anti-corrosion, environmental protection and other advantages. However, such a faucet requires a relatively high production process, a long process, and production is not yet popular.


Copper faucet


For more than 400 years, people have been using copper materials to process faucets, mainly because of its soft nature, good cutting properties, and easy processing and molding. Therefore, using copper materials can create a variety of different shapes of taps for consumers to choose. In addition, copper has a bactericidal function and can kill some bacteria in tap water. This is another major advantage of the copper tap. The disadvantage of the copper faucet is that the surface needs to be electroplated. If the electroplating layer is detached in the future, the surface of the faucet can be easily spotted, stained or peeled off or even peel off. Another disadvantage is that the copper faucets, which are known to everyone, contain lead and cause pollution to the water source.

The advantages of stainless steel faucets

1. The surface is polished, the appearance has a silvery luster, beautiful and beautiful, feel smooth and meticulous, not easy to rust, always new; after advanced technology casting, corrosion resistance, wear resistance, acid resistance, alkali resistance, has good physical properties.

2, the material does not contain lead, does not have any exudation material, does not produce the odor, guarantees the water quality the health, the hygiene, does not pollute the water quality. At the same time, stainless steel faucets do not require electroplating during production, which greatly reduces the harm to the environment. There is no need to worry about the electroplating layer falling off, and the polishing of the surface of the stainless steel faucet is less polluting to the environment.

3, the use of durable, after the actual test, its life of up to a hundred years, during this period almost no special need for special maintenance, to solve the previous cumbersome replacement and maintenance of faucets, economic and environmental protection, clean and convenient.


The disadvantages of stainless steel faucets

1. The production process is complicated, the technical level is high, and the technologies are not mature. There are not many domestic manufacturers with a certain scale, and the prices are also higher.

2, without lead does not mean completely healthy, stainless steel contains chromium, nickel and other elements, chromium is toxic, can damage the body's DNA, liver, kidneys, etc., have carcinogenic hazards, and can cause genetic mutations. In addition, when chlorine-sterilized water causes internal isotopes to assimilate and corrode water taps.

Difference between stainless steel faucet and copper faucet:

Process: The best way to deal with the surface of copper products is only: electroplating of nickel and chromium. The electroplating layer, depending on its quality, is gradually losing its luster and pitting point for one year and slower for 10 years. Finally, the electroplated layer peels off and exposes copper rust. The surface of polished stainless steel products will always remain silvery white and never rust.

Usage: Copper products will contain lead and growth rust in varying degrees. The stainless steel products are resistant to acids, alkalis, corrosion, and harmful substances.

Durability: The hardness and toughness of stainless steel are more than 2 times higher than that of copper.

Price: The price of stainless steel is generally high.
