When copper faucets still occupy the absolute market leader, the continuous emergence of stainless steel faucet manufacturers has aroused more and more thinking. Will stainless steel faucets be the trend in the future?
"The faucet material will gradually replace copper with stainless steel." In recent years, many people in the industry have put forward such views. With consumers paying more and more attention to environmental protection and health, a healthier, more environmental friendly and 100% recycled stainless steel faucet will become the trend in the future. Stainless steel faucet is an emerging product. In recent years, it has been more and more favored by consumers. With the maturity of technology, it will become more and more popular, and seize more market share of copper faucet. Recently, the reporter visited some enterprises producing stainless steel faucets and some businesses selling the product to understand the current situation of stainless steel faucets.
It is reported that many domestic hardware plumbing manufacturers began to develop stainless steel faucets as early as three years ago, but because of stainless steel, its hardness, toughness, solution casting and cutting are much more difficult than copper, and the cost is high. These manufacturers have either not yet succeeded in development, or have given up development, or only one or two styles have been successfully developed. Among the international brands, there are Hans Geya, huayida and other manufacturers producing stainless steel faucets, while there are about four or five enterprises producing stainless steel faucets in Kaiping, Guangdong. Now more and more enterprises have gradually mastered the relevant production and R & D technology. According to President Liu, general manager of Jiangmen Changyang Sanitary Ware Co., Ltd., as early as two or three years ago, the company has been focusing on the R & D of stainless steel sanitary ware products. Changyang is also the first enterprise in Pengjiang district to produce stainless steel faucets, mainly focusing on the domestic market. However, with the increasing popularity of stainless steel faucets in the terminal market, many enterprises have increased their investment in the production line of stainless steel faucets. For example, Zoje holding group, which mainly produces stainless steel faucets that meet the hygienic standards of European and American sanitary products, purchased 130 mu of land in cuishanhu Development Zone, Kaiping City, Guangdong Province this year and invested 500 million yuan to build a stainless steel faucet production base.
With the gradual maturity of the manufacturing process of stainless steel faucets in China, stainless steel faucets have been greatly improved in both production and grade. Moreover, in terms of materials, stainless steel materials are healthier, more environmentally friendly and can be recycled 100%. Stainless steel faucet is an emerging product in China. Although it occupies a small share in the domestic market, it has been more and more favored by consumers in recent years because of its health, environmental protection and durability. With the maturity of manufacturing technology, it will become more and more popular and seize more market share of copper faucets, Stainless steel faucet will become the development trend of bathroom industry in the future.
There are four main materials of faucets, namely copper, PVC, cast iron, stainless steel, etc. at present, most of the medium and high-grade faucets in the domestic market use pure copper as the main raw material. According to experts, the content of lead in copper and copper faucet castings is usually 4% - 8%. If the faucet is not used for a long time, green copper rust will be produced on the inner wall, and the lead and other substances in it may be released into the tap water. Drinking water with too high lead content will cause lead poisoning, which will not only affect the intellectual growth of drinkers, but also seriously affect their physical health, and have a greater impact on children.
Copper is easy to rust, so the surface of copper products is usually electroplated, that is, a layer of nickel or chromium is electroplated on its surface, and the electroplated layer will gradually peel off depending on its electroplating quality and thickness. The fast one year and the slow one 3-5 years will gradually lose the surface luster and pitting, and finally the electrodeposited coating will peel off and expose copper rust, which will affect the appearance and use, so it needs to be replaced continuously, which leads to a waste of resources. The wastewater produced by electroplating is very serious to the environment.
In our interview, we found that almost all businesses claim that their copper faucets are made of pure copper. According to some people in the same industry, in fact, the quality of copper materials in many enterprises is not up to standard. Due to the poor electroplating process, the plating layer outside some medium and low-grade copper faucets will fall off in a year or two, so it is easy to produce rust spots.
It is understood that the surface of stainless steel faucet does not need electroplating. Its surface only needs physical treatment processes such as polishing and polishing, and can maintain silver luster for a long time, never rust, more environmentally friendly, durable and easy to clean.
It can be seen that as long as the manufacturers can cross the technical threshold of stainless steel faucet manufacturing, it is bound to bring revolutionary changes, and the stainless steel faucet will naturally achieve the future.
The reporter visited Kaiping Shuikou in the faucet production base and learned that many faucet manufacturing enterprises with certain strength have set their eyes on stainless steel faucets. Some have many years of experience in R & D and trial production. I believe that in the near future, they can also reshape the brilliance of Shuikou in the field of stainless steel faucets.
Shuikou China bathroom city staff told reporters that at present, the stainless steel faucet is made of 304 stainless steel. The production process of stainless steel faucet is difficult, so the cost is relatively high. The market price is also higher than that of copper faucets. At present, only people with more economic strength can start consuming stainless steel faucets. It is estimated that after 5 years, the technology of stainless steel faucet will gradually develop and mature, and the price will slowly decline, and the stainless steel faucet will be more popular.
In Jianghua road building materials Street, Pengjiang district, Jiangmen City, the reporter learned through communication with dealers that at present, the faucets they represent are mainly made of stainless steel, copper and zinc alloy, mostly from Kaiping Shuikou and Wenzhou City, Zhejiang Province. At this stage, copper faucets are mainly sold, and copper faucets are relatively easy to sell, At present, most of the stainless steel faucets produced are iron copper plated and chrome plated, which are easy to rust in the process of use, and there are certain difficulties in processing and manufacturing. Moreover, the price of the acting stainless steel faucet is relatively more expensive than that of the copper faucet. In the short term, we are still optimistic about the copper faucet, but with the improvement of technology, we think the stainless steel faucet will be hotter for the future market prospect
