The ceramic valve core is a new generation of valve core material with good sealing performance, stable physical properties and long service life. It is generally used for more than 10 years. The main body is cast from brass, bronze (or copper alloy), of course, the overall casting performance is best.

Regular product body casting and surface treatment have strict technical requirements, and after neutral salt spray test, there should be no rust in the corresponding period of time. Therefore, the selection of the faucet should pay attention to the surface, touch the burr, observe no pores, eroded traces, no oxidized spots, crystal clear, feel the thickness of the coating. The surface of the faucet is galvanized, titanium coated, painted, and the like. The plating thickness is good, and the surface of the plating layer can be observed by light to see if it is bright.
