Material of sink: Common materials of kitchen basin are stainless steel, artificial stone and ceramics.
Ceramic kitchen basin: cheap, it is the mainstream product in 1980s and 1990s. However, because ceramic products are fragile, easy to crack, lack of brightness and beauty, too single color and shape, lack of characteristics, and gradually out of the modern kitchen.
Artificial stone kitchen basin: it is easy to fit the overall mosaic of artificial stone countertops in the kitchen, with diverse colors and styles, beautiful and practical, and low noise, which can be said to be unique. The other side of its simplicity and primary color is also loved by some families who advocate natural style. Generally, prices are relatively high. The artificial stone kitchen basin with poor quality will have the problem of radiation pollution of chemical substances, which is easy to be greasy and cracked.
Stainless steel kitchen basin: With its unique bright metallic luster, sanitation and cleanliness, long service life, diverse modeling options, light weight, convenient installation and strong practicability, it is increasingly favored by people.
Classification of surface treatment methods: 1. Pearl noodles. Some people also call it pearl silver surface, matte surface and pearl matte surface. Surface treatment with chemical electrolyte (to put it bluntly, it is similar to electroplating). In all production, this surface treatment process is the simplest, with low technical content and low production cost. At present, more than 90% of the nearly 2000 domestic manufacturers completely adopt this process for production. Many first-line brands also use this technology to seize the low-end market. However, the biggest defect of this surface is that it is not scratch-resistant, and the surface is easy to scratch.
2. Frosted surface. Also known as Zhusha noodles. Fine sand particles are crushed evenly on the surface of the sink at high speed, which makes the surface form tiny grooves (which are difficult for human eyes to see), which improves the hardness of the surface of the sink and its scratch resistance. Its principle is equivalent to shot peening in machining. This treatment generally requires that the wall thickness of the plate should not be too thin, and this method is generally used in the whole drawing tank.
3. Wire drawing surface. Also called mercerized surface. It is to draw repeatedly on the surface of the sink with a wire drawing device (equivalent to grinding machine processing in mechanical processing). Make its surface form a series of fine silk marks, and the surface is extremely smooth. There is a strong sense of harmony between feeling and vision. Because the wires are drawn directly on the surface of the sink, the requirements for plates are extremely high.
4. Embossed surface. That is, regular patterns are pressed on the surface of the sink or directly pressed with embossed plates (equivalent to patterned steel plates used on pedestrian bridges on the road), and then the surface is treated with pearlescent surface. The visual effect of the relief surface is also good, but the long-term oil smoke in the kitchen will accumulate scale in the pattern, which is difficult to clean.
5. Mirror. It is to polish the surface of the sink repeatedly to make its surface form a mirror-like effect. This treatment is not suitable for ordinary families. It is very easy to form scratches during use.
According to the installation method, it is divided into upper basin, lower basin and taichung basin.
Classification by manufacturing process: At present, the processing of stainless steel kitchen basin includes butt welding, wheel welding and integrated molding. Butt welding technology is a processing technology of splicing two single grooves into a double groove by welding. Due to the limitation of domestic welding equipment and polishing equipment, there are still traces in the weld, which is easy to detach. The wheel welding technology is to weld 1-3 single groove on an integral panel. This technology is used by most sink manufacturers. Generally, the panel material is 0.8- 1.0mm, and the tank body is 0.8mm, which reduces the cost. The integrated molding process is a process of drawing flat materials without any welding, thus directly forming more than two grooves.
Features of integrally formed sink: Advantages: ◆ Easy to form; ◆ Rich in style; ◆ Save product consumables; ◆ No solder joints in the whole body; Disadvantages: ◆ Consumes a lot of energy; ◆ The mold development cost is high; ◆ The requirements for wire drawing process and equipment are very high;
Moen sink:
Material: high-quality SUS304 stainless steel plate, with good oxidation and corrosion resistance, high hardness, good toughness, stable color, durability and easy cleaning.
Complete process system: integrated molding: the integrated molding process is adopted, and the basin body has no weld seam, providing users with more solid and durable quality assurance.
Surface treatment: wire drawing and frosting surface treatment are adopted. The frosted surface treatment can reduce the damage of reflected light to eyes, and the surface molecular tissue density is high, the wear resistance is strong, and it is easy to clean and durable. The brushed surface is chic and elegant. The more you use it, the more beautiful the upper mirror surface is.
Odor-proof downspout fittings: stainless steel downspout, high-quality PP/PVC drainage pipe, heat insulation, crack prevention, odor prevention, slag prevention, easy installation. And is environment-friendly, sanitary, beautiful, durable and space-saving.
Lead washing process of faucet: minimize the lead content and make the faucet healthier and more environmentally friendly.
Downhole backward movement: increase the operation space of basin bottom,
Anti-condensation coating with anti-splash, noise reduction and anti-condensation: unique anti-condensation technology with temperature difference, which can effectively prevent water vapor condensation. Avoid the expansion and damage of the cabinet caused by a small amount of water droplets formed at the bottom of the basin when the temperature is low;
The coating enhances the thickness of the kitchen basin, improves the anti-vibration ability, and reduces the overflow safety of the used water, bowls and other utensils: the basin wall is provided with overflow holes, which can automatically and quickly divert the water when you forget to turn off the water, eliminating the worry of "water is full of golden mountains" and making you more comfortable and worry-free.
U-shaped ribs: make the four sides of the sink smoother. At the same time, fixing hooks can be installed, so that the sink can be firmly fixed on the cabinet countertop, and the strength of the cabinet countertop (especially the artificial stone countertop) can be strengthened.
