Why should the faucet be made of all copper?

Since the patina produced by rusting copper is poisonous, why should the bathtub faucet be made of all copper?

Let's talk about the toxicity of patina first. The verdigris generally refers to the green dense protective layer attached to the surface of copper or copper alloy. The main component is basic copper carbonate Cu2(OH)2CO3.

The verdigris is toxic because it reacts with the hydrochloric acid in the stomach to generate copper ions and causes heavy metal poisoning.

After poisoning, please under the guidance of a doctor, drink fresh milk or egg white solution, sodium bicarbonate solution, etc.

        he patina itself is relatively stable, otherwise it cannot be used as a protective layer.

^T  o protect the internal metal matrix from external oxidation and corrosion, and it is insoluble in water.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, as long as there is no accidental ingestion of large doses, it will not cause harm to the human body.

If there are children at home, it is best to pay attention to prevent accidental ingestion. There are some cases of children accidentally eating poisoning can be seen on the Internet.

Faucets are generally made of copper, stainless steel, cast iron, and plastic.

The corrosion resistance of cast iron is very poor, and it is easy to rust in a humid environment, a large amount of harmful substances are produced.

Tthe corrosion resistance of stainless steel and copper is relatively good, but the material cost of stainless steel faucets is higher, and the process is not as mature as copper faucets.

You must know that people have used copper products for more than hundreds of years.

In general, stainless steel and copper faucets are mainly used now, but stainless steel faucets may have more complicated processes, and there are no mature and stable products of copper faucets.

All in all, It's important to choose a reliable bathtub faucet suplliers.
