It is understood that there are five main surface treatment methods for kitchen stainless steel sinks currently on the market, namely: matte surface, brushed surface, pearl surface, embossed surface and mirror surface treatment process. And these five different stainless steel sink surface treatment methods have their own advantages and disadvantages. When purchasing stainless steel sinks, AFA Stainless Steel Handmade Sink Manufacturers reminds you to choose the most suitable sink according to the specific environment of your home kitchen.
1. The matte surface is also called bead surface. It is made of fine sand particles hitting the surface of the stainless steel water tank uniformly and at high speed. The hardness of the surface of the stainless steel sink improves its scratch resistance. The principle is equivalent to shot peening in machining. This treatment generally requires that the wall thickness of the plate should not be too thin. Generally, stainless steel sinks that are stretched as a whole use this method more often.
2. The brushed surface is also called the mercerized surface, which is a kind of drawing equipment that is repeatedly drawn on the surface of the stainless steel sink (equivalent to the grinding machine processing in mechanical processing). Make the surface a fine silk trace, and the surface is very smooth. Feel and visually have a strong peace of mind. Because it is directly drawn on the surface of the stainless steel sink, the requirements for the plate are extremely high. The drawing of domestic boards sometimes has fine particles on the surface, which affects the appearance. Therefore, most of the brushed boards are imported boards.
3, pearl surface is also called pearl silver surface, matte surface, pearl matte surface and so on. It is made of chemical electrolyte for surface treatment. This kind of surface treatment has the simplest process, small technical content and low production cost in all production. The price of manufactured products is also lower. At present, more than 90% of the nearly 2,000 stainless steel sink manufacturers in the country use this process. Many first-tier brands also use this process to seize the low-end market. However, the biggest flaw of this kind of surface is that it is not scratch resistant, the surface is easy to scratch, and the coating will seriously fall off. So many large-scale enterprises gradually replaced this process with other processes.
4, embossed surface is the surface of the stainless steel sink with a regular pattern or directly using embossed sheet pressing (equivalent to the pattern steel plate used on the pedestrian bridge on the road), and then surface treatment using pearl surface treatment. The visual effect of the embossed surface is also good, but long-term oil fume in the kitchen will accumulate in the pattern and be difficult to clean.
5. The mirror surface is repeatedly polished on the surface of the stainless steel sink to make the surface like a mirror. This treatment is not applicable to ordinary families. It is easy to form scratches during use.
