Brass : Jintan fittings are produced using high quality brass alloys. The surface is protected by a transparent stove enamel finish with very good adherence and resistance to solvents and chemicals. Nonetheless, the use of aggressive cleaning agents should be avoided. Damage to the surface by mechanical action (e.g. by keys) can cause corrosion. Brass fittings with surface protection do not need special care. Dirt can be removed with a soft cloth and water. Tip: Some brass products are only polished and not lacquered. There for a natural patina (darkened brass) is developed after a while. If patina is not desired the handles must be polished periodically.
Iron and Steel : Jintan was a pioneer in cast iron hardware products and today supplies a very wide range of fittings in cast iron and steel. Iron is the most widely used of all the metals, accounting for 95% of worldwide metal production. Its low cost and high strength make it indispensable. The hardness of the steel depends upon its carbon content, the higher the proportion of carbon, the greater the hardness and the lesser the ductility. The main disadvantage of iron and steel is that pure iron, and most of its alloys, suffer badly from rust if not protected in some way. Powder coating, painting, galvanization and passivation are suggested finishes to protect iron from rust. Iron and steel products can easily be cleaned with soap and water.
Stainless Steel : Stainless steel fittings are made of chrome nickel steel of grade 202, 303, 304, 316 or specific alloy. Characteristics such as longevity, corrosion – acidproof and resistance to abrasion have made this a popular material in engineering and architectural design. Stainless steel is rust resistant because the alloy components (chrome and nickel) develop an invisible passive film. If stainless steel fittings do appear to show signs of rusts, or greasy and oily soiling, it can be removed with a household detergent which is suitable for stainless steel.
Zinc : The low melting pint, good fluency and small reduction ratio of the metal contribute to the fact that hot chamber casting is especially suitable for alloys containing zinc. The resistance of zinc alloys against corrosion in humid air and in neutral liquids is fairly good. Outdoors, however, unprotected surface lose their gloss. In order to prevent the surface from corroding and losing its shine, cast items are protected electrolytic ally by giving them a metal coating, or else they are painted. The zinc alloy used is Z-3 or Z-5.
Aluminium : Jintan fittings are produced using high quality, corrosion – resistant primary alloys. The surface finish of aluminium products is by anodising. This protection finish is created by a calculated and controlled artificial oxidation process using electricity and sulphuric acid with influences such as heat, humidity and light mechanical action. Aluminium does not need special care because the oxide film protects the surface. Dirt spots can be removed with a soft cloth and water.
