Comparison Of Zinc Alloy and Stainless Steel Faucets

     Entering the 21st century, health and environmental protection have gradually become the new themes of modern life. Stainless steel is an internationally recognized healthy material that can be implanted into the human body. Therefore, kitchen and bathroom products with stainless steel as the main material have begun to become popular in European and American countries. 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.

     A good faucet will be made of high-quality 304 stainless steel, which will not rust and contain no lead. The faucet itself will not cause secondary lead pollution to the water source, which will damage people's health and create a healthy kitchen and bathroom water environment for us. For low-grade materials, the density of zinc alloy is lower than that of copper, and the faucet that feels less than copper is heavier. The surface of zinc alloy is easily oxidized from the inner wall, and white oxidized powder will appear on the surface. The strength is much worse than that of copper, the service life is not long, and the lead content is high. If the faucet made of zinc alloy is only one to two years old, it will oxidize and rot, so now zinc alloy is mainly used to make the handle of the faucet.
