In recent years, with the advancement of technology, there has been a wide variety of faucet products. In order to match different styles of home design, faucets have become more colorful, and there are also various exciting appearances in terms of luster, texture, and texture. Today, I will introduce the surface treatment process of faucets to you.
Common surface treatment processes for faucets include chrome plating, PVD, baking paint, wire drawing, ORB, etc., each with its own characteristics, which can bring different feelings of embellishment to our bathhouse.
1. Chromium plating
The most common processing method for faucets on the market is chromium, which is a silver white metal with a slight blue light color. Chromium also has strong passivation ability and is not easy to change in a humid environment, which can maintain a durable surface gloss. The appearance of similar precious metals is highly decorative, so chrome plated faucets are now more popular among consumers.
2. PVD
PVD, also known as physical vapor deposition, is an advanced surface treatment technology widely used internationally. Under vacuum conditions, gas discharge is used to partially differentiate the gas or evaporated substance, and together with the bombardment effect of gas ions or evaporated substance ions, the evaporated substance or its reactants are stacked on the substrate.

PVD's rich and elegant colors, excellent resistance to harsh environments, easy cleaning, and non fading performance make it deeply loved by consumers.

             

3. Paint baking
Apply primer and topcoat on the substrate of the faucet, and send each coat of paint to a dust-free constant temperature paint baking room for electric heating or far-infrared high-temperature baking to solidify the paint layer. The surface of the lacquer faucet is smooth and shiny, creating a visual texture similar to that of a piano, making the entire product look highly layered.
4. Wire drawing
Brushing treatment brings a metallic texture to the faucet. According to the decoration needs of the faucet, texture can be made on its surface under external forces. Brushing treatment can be divided into stainless steel drawing, nickel drawing, etc. Brushing treatment makes the visual effect of the faucet rough, while the hand feel is very delicate, showing a restrained beauty.
5. ORB
The ORB process involves oxidizing and dyeing copper or copper plated surfaces into antique copper or black, followed by wire drawing or polishing treatment, and finally oil spraying. Unlike antique bronze, ORB leans towards black and coffee, and the edges of the area will have a red brushed texture through wire drawing. Products processed through ORB will have a delicate texture, giving them a dull and profound connotation, with a dense retro flavor.

Suitable surface treatment can make the overall design of the faucet rich and full. Choosing the right faucet can also become the finishing touch of the bathhouse, making every opening enjoyable.
