ABS is a copolymer of acrylonitrile, butadiene, and styrene. These three combinations have their own characteristics. Like durable plastic water tap with chrome plate, we summarize the reasons why manufacturers choose plastic to make certain faucet components:

  Plastic is a strong and durable material that ensures components are durable;

  Plastic can resist different temperatures without damage, which means cold and hot water can flow without affecting the plastic parts. If used on external bodies, and since the surface does not heat up, this feature can significantly reduce the risk of scalding, especially for avoiding contact with hot water pipes or shower faucets;

  Plastic does not affect the quality of drinking water and is not contaminated with harmful chemicals and microorganisms, which is why it is often used inside water outlets;

  Plastics are 100 % resistant to corrosion (unlike some types of metals, they naturally react to their environment and wear out over time);

  Plastics are moisture-resistant, which is important when water is involved (for example, to avoid mold);

  Lastly, plastic is a lightweight material that doesn't add unnecessary weight to the faucet, making it easier for installers to carry around and install.

  Not all plastics are necessarily a sign of low quality. Careful selection of the right plastic properties can ensure that your faucet is resistant to abrasion, different temperatures, and corrosion. Be sure to pay attention to the material and quality of the plastic used, and consult your installer or manufacturer to learn more about its properties. This way, you can be sure to provide your customers with durable and qualified components.
