Today, 99% of the market is made of copper faucets, which are made by electroplating and casting. The copper faucet body adopts a sand casting process with a rough surface. Although theChina Bathroom Faucets exterior can be polished, the rough surface of the internal cavity cannot be handled, and it is easy to hide and rust, posing a safety hazard to the user. The inner cavity of the copper faucet cannot be electroplated, and the corrosion resistance is not good, and copper rust (commonly known as patina) is produced. The copper material contains lead (Pb), which is very harmful to the human body, especially affecting children's mental development. California has implemented a lead-free regulation since January 2010, which prohibits the use of copper pipes for drinking water applications.
