Experience of different electroplating of luggage hardware

      Whether we buy clothes, box packaging, or luggage and leather products; the most feared are the hardware accessories, logos, and hardware locks on the top. The color fades, variegated colors, electroplating layers oxidize and fall off after a short period of time, and redness. Blackening, rusting, etc. In that case, no matter how refined and high-end the products we use, they can only be reduced to inferior goods in the senses.  

     So why do some luggage and clothing hardware have such problems? One is improper use or protection. The second is that the hardware electroplating process used is different, which directly leads to different results later. For general hardware accessories, there are usually two plating methods: rack plating, barrel plating, and through racks, which we call sealing oil; plating also includes environmental protection plating and ordinary plating. Let's talk about their differences below.  

   Hanging plating: The blanks of hardware products are polished several times before being sent to the electroplating factory. The plating method is to hang up the electricity one by one separately. Therefore, after the product is plated, the brightness is good, the color is uniform, the surface is smooth, etc., which can be well protected and greatly extend the storage time.  

  Rolling plating: The product is not polished, and it is electroplated only after a simple over-vibration machine and a scraper. The plating method is to put all the accessories in a barrel plating tank, and then roll them up for plating. In this way, the surface of the electroplated product will have some small pits, the color is not uniform, not very smooth, and the brightness is poor. Therefore, it is not conducive to long-term storage, and it is not easy to protect it.  

      Sealing oil (passing the hanging plating): Sealing oil can be called the second protective insurance for hardware products. The oil-sealing layer can also protect the electroplating layer well, making it difficult to be oxidized, scratched, and corroded by mist. The performance of the product is greatly improved. Like some liquor manufacturers, their packaging box hardware accessories and sealing oil must pass the salt spray test; because the wine cellar contains a certain amount of alcohol. If the salt spray test cannot be passed, the hardware fittings are susceptible to discoloration and blackening due to the erosion of alcohol.  

      Environmentally friendly electroplating: Needless to say, friends who do foreign trade come in contact with it more. The material and electroplating of hardware accessories are different in each country. To make products in that country, you have to follow their regulations. The usual name for environmentally friendly electroplating is: "Wu Lai".  

       Therefore, for products with relatively high requirements, we recommend that when purchasing luggage locks and clothing luggage hardware, we must pay attention to the different electroplating we sincerely mentioned above directly affect the different experience of customers, and customers can according to their actual situation. To choose the corresponding electroplating process.
