3. Look at the coating. In chrome-plated products, the coating thickness of ordinary products is 20 microns, and the material is easy to be oxidized by air after a long time, while the copper chrome-plated coating with exquisite workmanship is 28 microns, with compact structure, uniform coating, bright color, smooth and delicate, and can still keep bright as new after long-term use.

If it is not cleaned in the right way, it is likely to destroy the electroplating layer of the faucet, resulting in corrosion and rust of the faucet. If you want to choose an all-copper kitchen faucet, you must have excellent electroplating, otherwise it will easily lead to rust and corrosion of the faucet.

Compared with pure copper faucet, the faucet made of high-quality stainless steel has the characteristics of lead-free, acid-resistant, alkali-resistant, non-corrosive, non-release of harmful substances and non-pollution of tap water source. Moreover, stainless steel faucet does not need electroplating, so it is extremely difficult to rust, and its hardness and toughness are more than twice that of copper products, so it is very convenient to clean. However, due to the difficulty in processing stainless steel, the current high-quality stainless steel faucets are usually relatively expensive.
