The sink is one of the most frequently used utensils in the kitchen. It is wear-resistant, scratch-resistant, non-stick and oil-free, and environmentally friendly and healthy has always been the direction people pursue.
The development of kitchen sinks has gone through three decades.
First generation, ceramic sink. Ceramic sinks are made of one-piece fired sinks. The main body is mainly white. They have the advantages of high temperature resistance, easy cleaning, and aging resistance. They can be wiped clean with a cloth or a clean metal ball during daily cleaning. Ceramic sinks were a mainstream product in the 1980s and 1990s, but are rarely used in modern home decoration.
Disadvantages of ceramic sinks: fewer styles and monotonous colors. If water penetrates into the ceramic, it will expand and deform; it is relatively heavy and requires sufficient support; it is fragile and easy to crack. It cannot be collided with hard objects or scratched, and needs to be gently rubbed. . Relatively speaking, ceramic sinks are more prone to scale and oil stains.
The second generation, artificial stone sink. Artificial stone sinks are favored by many families for their high-end appearance and easy cleaning. Its surface is smooth and delicate, and can be seamlessly connected to the countertop. It is easy to clean and beautiful overall.
The disadvantage of artificial stone sinks is that the surface hardness is not high, and the surface is easily scratched by metal or ceramic tableware, resulting in dirt. It is also prone to fading, cracking and a series of other problems.
Disadvantages of stainless steel sinks include: Not resistant to scratches. Thin stainless steel walls are easy to scratch, especially after long-term use, scratches may appear on the surface. In addition, the most deadly thing is that stainless steel contains heavy metals, which is not good for health.
The fourth generation, granite sink. A new generation of kitchen sinks with the best performance, molded by high-tech processes using highly biosafe PMMA resin (denture material) and highly safe inert quartz sand material.
Its advantages are: biomedical grade material, friendly to the human body, without any odor;
Ultra-high surface hardness and wear resistance, able to resist scratches on stainless steel and ceramic tableware;
Does not contain any heavy metals or chemical ingredients harmful to human body;
Antibacterial, the surface does not stick to oil and is easy to clean;
