Faucet is a relatively simple hardware product for bathroom, which is easily overlooked. In fact, the quality of faucet is not only related to the convenience and persistence of use, but also to health problems, because whether the lead release from faucet exceeds the standard is very important for drinking water safety. At present, there are many types of faucets in both building materials market and network sales. Therefore, it is necessary to purchase safe faucets with quality assurance, so as to enable the whole family to enjoy safe drinking water.
Industry insiders believe that the development of water head industry has gone through three stages: cast iron tap, copper tap and copper electroplating tap, but no way to reduce lead content has been found. At present, in the market, some tap enterprises illegally use recycled copper, zinc alloy water parts and glue products. The lead content exceeds the standard very seriously. Consumers should pay special attention to it when choosing and purchasing. Choosing healthy and safe tap products mainly depends on the precipitation value of heavy metals, especially lead-containing substances in the products.
Usually in ordinary taps, the proportion of lead in castings is between 3% and 8%. If the tap is used for a long time, the metal substances such as lead in the tap may be released into the water. Drinking water containing too much lead can cause lead damage, which will not only affect the intellectual growth of the drinker, but also seriously affect the health of the body, and the impact on children will be greater. Relevant data show that serious lead pollution often endangers human reproductive capacity, renal function and nervous system.
With the development of science and technology and manufacturing technology, it is possible to make taps from stainless steel. Stainless steel is an internationally recognized health material, without lead, and acid, alkali, corrosion resistance, no release of harmful substances, so the use of stainless steel faucets can ensure human health and hygiene.
The manufacturing technology of stainless steel taps has gradually matured in China, and has greatly improved both in production and in grade. It is understood that although the current share of the domestic market is small, but because of its health, environmental protection, durability and other characteristics, in recent years more and more consumers favor, and gradually seize the market share of copper faucets, stainless steel faucets have become the development trend of bathroom hardware industry. At present, 95% of faucets at home and abroad are electroplated with copper, and stainless steel faucets are becoming popular, which is a new trend in the market.
Stainless steel taps have great potential for development, but investment is also difficult.
Choosing tap as an entrepreneurship project is undoubtedly to see the potential of China's sanitary hardware market. Because the problem of heavy metal precipitation from taps has always been one of the most important problems in the industry, stainless steel as the best solution to this problem has been attracting the attention of the industry, but no enterprise has been able to solve the problem of stainless steel tap production perfectly. The process difficulty and high cost of stainless steel faucet production make most manufacturers hesitate.
