"Home" is people's warm and safe "harbor". Due to some details in home life being easily ignored, such as how to remove chicken skin, it makes the "home" unsafe. As people's requirements for living standards continue to increase, more living details are beginning to be paid attention to. When decorating and renovating their homes, people place more emphasis on safety, environmental protection, and health.
Before the application of PC/ABS alloy, traditional metal brass faucets were widely accepted and used. However, people overlooked that brass contains lead, which is extremely harmful to the human body. A classic example is the claim by foreign experts that "Beethoven died of lead poisoning" and "Ancient Roman emperors died due to lead harm." Lead has a significant impact on children and women. Severe lead poisoning in pregnant women can cause premature birth and miscarriage. Lead poisoning can also affect the growth and development of infants and young children, with severe cases leading to dementia.
Experts from the World Health Organization have said that long-term exposure to lead, even at lower levels, can have serious effects, such as anemia, discomfort, and damage to the nervous system. In some underdeveloped areas, more than one-third of children are still affected by high lead levels. These children suffer from severe headaches, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, drowsiness, and even coma. Severe cases can lead to life-threatening encephalitis, ultimately resulting in death or irreversible neurological sequelae. More common is low-level lead exposure, which can still cause unclear symptoms and harm human health.
Health experts indicate that tap water released from brass faucets in the morning contains more lead. For drinking water safety, it is recommended to use lead-free faucets.
PC/ABS alloy is a non-toxic, odorless, recyclable, and environmentally friendly material. Its environmental performance has been tested and certified by relevant institutions both domestically and internationally. PC/ABS alloy has high impact strength, good rigidity, high hardness, and good toughness. These features make it widely used in industry. Nowadays, products made from this material are already ubiquitous in our lives, such as instrument shells and laptop computer shells. Additionally, PC/ABS alloy has begun to be used in faucets. It has the advantages of being non-toxic, rust-proof, and corrosion-resistant. This ensures that faucets made from it do not affect water quality and possess healthy and hygienic characteristics. Therefore, PC/ABS alloy has become an excellent material for manufacturing faucets.
As people's requirements for living standards continue to improve and the concept of low-carbon environmental protection becomes increasingly ingrained, in the selection of faucets, PC/ABS alloy will inevitably replace metal materials due to its superior performance. For consumers, green, environmentally friendly, non-toxic, affordable plastic faucets not only bring more economic benefits to consumers but also provide higher health guarantees in daily life. At the same time, they also bring new vitality to green environmental protection projects.
