Thanks to the popularity of chrome, it is durable, easy to use, and easy to match with accessories and other fixtures. Many faucets nowadays are chrome-plated. I didn’t know much about it at the beginning, but after asking a professional, I realized that, in fact, chrome-plating is not only for decoration, it is very powerful.

　　What is Chromium? Chromium is a silvery-white metal with a bluish tint.

　　What are the properties of chromium?

　　Chromium plating has high hardness and wears resistance, its hardness exceeds that of the hardest hardened steel and is second only to diamond. The chrome coating has good heat resistance, and its hardness and color have no obvious change below 500 ℃. Chrome plating on pre-polished surfaces results in a silver-blue specular finish.

　　Chromium has a strong passivation ability, and it is easy to form a very thin passivation film on the surface of the workpiece, and it does not change in humid air, and can maintain its glossy appearance for a long time, showing an appearance similar to precious metals, and the appearance of the coating layer Bright, beautiful, with a silver-blue luster like a mirror.

　　If the electroplating solution is hexavalent chromium, it is undoubtedly toxic, but the plated product is not hexavalent chromium after ion reduction, so the product is non-toxic.

　　I'm not a chemist, so the explanation is not clear, but the company I work for makes a product - Plastic ABS Basin Faucet with Chromed.

　　Taizhou Luqiao Jingyue Plastic Factory is a manufacturer of Basin plastic faucets using for bathrooms, mainly producing environmental plastic kitchen water taps and other products, welcome to inquire!
