There are many types of copper, such as red copper, bronze, brass and so on. Generally, the copper materials used in the manufacture of faucets are brass. Brass has many benefits to the human body: it is anti-aging, improves blood circulation, and has strong antihistamine properties, which can be used for various allergies. Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc. Brass has good plasticity, workability, easy polishing, good electroplating adhesion, and brass has good corrosion resistance. Brass is currently one of the most suitable materials for faucets.
For the brass used to make faucets, the normal standard copper content is about 59%, the lead content is between 0.8% and 2%, the content of other elements and impurities is about 2%, and the remaining balance is zinc. Lead is added to brass to increase the machinability of brass, which is very necessary in terms of processing! The lead content of stainless steel is indeed less than that of brass, but it also contains other heavy metal substances that are harmful to the human body, and the cost of stainless steel is lower than that of copper, but it is difficult to process, so it is produced. The price of the product is basically the same as that of the copper product
