What material is good for bathroom hardware

1. Stainless steel

Bathroom hardware made of stainless steel has a relatively good texture and is very wear-resistant, but it is easy to rust. Because stainless steel can only prevent the oxidation of iron and oxygen in the air, it cannot prevent the corrosion of iron when it encounters acid and alkali substances. Therefore, stainless steel faucets are very prone to rust in the kitchen, and scale will also corrode stainless steel to a certain extent. We need to pay attention to stainless steel bathroom products when we usually use them.

2. Plastic

When it comes to plastic pendants, I believe the first reaction of many people is: cheap. It is true that the material cost of plastic pendants is not high, and it is difficult to find high-quality products in China, but it does not mean that it is not a good material. ——Compared to all kinds of metal pendants, plastic is the only material that can guarantee no rust, no darkening and is durable enough, and it can also be made in a variety of colors. Although it is not as strong as metal, it is not a problem to hang towels, paper towels and the like.

3. Aluminum alloy

Aluminum alloy has high cost performance, and the price of aluminum alloy bathroom products is usually half of that of stainless steel and pure copper products. However, the aluminum alloy material has poor toughness and cannot make too complicated products, so it is more common in storage racks and towel racks, and has a longer service life.

4. Pure copper

The bathroom hardware made of pure copper has exquisite appearance, warm touch, excellent corrosion resistance and long service life. Usually the hardware surface of pure copper material will be coated. The chrome plating layer of good pure copper bathroom hardware is relatively thick, the surface will be very smooth, and the mirror effect is also obvious.

In short, the better hardware on the market is generally made of 304 stainless steel or pure copper, which will not rust after long-term use. The poor quality mostly uses zinc alloy or 201 stainless steel, etc., and obvious rust spots will appear after long-term use. There are also materials such as titanium alloy, aluminum alloy chrome plating, etc., according to the actual situation when purchasing.
