Advantages of Brass

Faucet is one of the commonly used plumbing products in daily life, when we buy kitchen faucets, we generally only choose the style they like, but I don't know if you have paid attention to the material of the faucet, there are two common materials, copper and stainless steel 304. Let's take a look at the advantages of copper materials:

First of all, the chemical properties of copper are more stable than stainless steel, the texture of copper is relatively soft, the melting point is low, the plasticity is very strong, it can resist acid and alkali, and it has a long service life. At the same time, copper has a broad-spectrum antibacterial effect, which can kill bacteria and fungi and effectively prevent cross-infection. This is because copper ions can damage bacterial cell membranes and damage their metabolic mechanisms, thereby inhibiting their growth and reproduction. High-quality copper kills 99% of bacteria in tap water, so you don't have to worry about overnight water or foreign objects that can burst your tap water to get into the infection. Therefore, the use of copper faucets can reduce the likelihood of germs growing and spreading on the surface of the faucet.

Secondly, normal copper faucets do not release excessive copper ions and do not cause negative effects on human health. Therefore, copper poisoning is not caused by copper ions in drinking water. In addition, copper is one of the essential trace elements for the human body, and a small amount of intake is beneficial to the body. Because copper has good electrical conductivity, it can help the body maintain normal nerve conduction, immune function, and blood circulation. At the same time, copper also participates in the catalytic activity of a variety of enzymes in the body, which plays a positive role in the body's absorption of iron and the protection of cardiovascular health. Therefore, copper faucets are not harmful to the body under normal use.

Although copper faucets themselves are not harmful to the body, copper alloys may contain other harmful substances. When buying copper faucets, you should choose a product that meets safety standards and check if there is a quality certification. Ensure that the copper faucet you choose does not contain harmful substances to avoid potential risks to your body.

In addition, after long-term use, copper faucets may have limescale and dirt buildup. These deposits can contain bacteria or other harmful substances, so it's important to clean your copper faucets regularly. Copper faucets can be cleaned with neutral detergents and soft cloths to ensure the hygiene and safety of copper faucets.

Therefore, it is recommended that you choose a faucet made of copper, which is more guaranteed in terms of sterilization and durability.
