Lead-containing faucet harms health How to choose a stainless steel faucet

It is understood that the copper content in general copper and copper lead castings is 4% to 8%. If the faucet is not used for a long time, green rust will be produced on the inner wall, and the harmful substances such as lead may be released inside the tap water. Drinking too much lead in water can lead to lead poisoning. It will not only affect the intellectual growth of the drinkers, but also seriously affect the health of the children and will have a greater impact on children. Scientific data shows that severe lead pollution often endangers human fertility, kidney function and nervous system.

At present, some companies illegally use miscellaneous copper, zinc alloy water, and plastic products. The excessive lead content is serious. Consumers must pay special attention when they purchase. Raising the quality of tap products focuses on reducing the precipitation of heavy metals, especially lead-containing substances.

So, for the faucets in the sanitary ware market, what kind of choice should the public choose to be healthier?

In China, the China Quality Certification Center has launched the “Water Facing Safety Certification” and recommends that consumers purchase products with the “Water Facing Safety Certification” mark. The company or manufacturer that obtained the logo product will have a clear and reliable logo on the product and its packaging. Relatively speaking, some companies with poor reputation or poor performance are unable or unwilling to label their products and packaging with clear and reliable labels. Users are advised not to buy such products, even if they are extremely inexpensive.

Relatively speaking, low-lead copper, copper, and stainless steel faucets are healthier. Pure copper and stainless steel faucets do not contain lead, but the production costs are high and the prices are high.

Compared with pure copper faucets, high-quality stainless steel has the characteristics of being lead-free, acid-resistant, alkali-resistant, non-corrosive, releasing harmful substances, and not contaminating water quality, and the stainless steel faucets need electroplating, not easy to rust, hardness, Toughness is more than twice that of copper products. The surface of the product is less prone to corrosion and bumps, so it is very easy to clean.

Stainless steel faucet features humanized design, not only brings users extraordinary comfort and healthy water enjoyment, but also contributes a lot to environmental protection. It has become a new consumer fashion.

Stainless steel faucet advantages

1, strong corrosion resistance

Material-polished stainless steel surfaces are denser. Like stainless steel pipes, stainless steel faucets have a thin and dense chromium-rich oxide film that makes the stainless steel faucets have good corrosion resistance. High-quality CFS or 304 stainless steel neutral salt spray test up to 300 hours.

2, easy to clean and maintain

Brushed surface treatment makes the stainless steel faucet product texture more delicate, more clear, the surface is not easy to attach stains, cleaning and maintenance is very convenient, can guarantee the product appearance long-term new, do not worry about plating off and rust affect the appearance.

3, safety and health

The stainless steel material does not contain heavy metals, such as lead, which are harmful to the human body. It does not cause secondary pollution of the water quality, ensures pure water quality and hygiene, and can give us a healthy kitchen and bathroom living water environment.

4, product quality is easy to judge

The surface of the stainless steel faucet is polished, visually judging the pros and cons of the appearance of the product, easily judging the quality of the product, without worrying about plating problems.

5, good mechanical properties

Stainless steel has good tensile strength, yield strength and other mechanical properties, its strength, hardness is much higher than copper, aluminum alloys, lead-zinc alloy and other commonly used materials, so that the product has the advantages of deformation resistance, wear resistance, bearing major.

6, long service life

Stainless steel faucet products have good mechanical properties and strong corrosion resistance, and with high quality ceramic chip sealing valve, as long as the proper installation and maintenance, stainless steel faucet products are generally available for decades or even longer, even if the product spool Bad, just replace the spool to continue using it.
