Process Introduction
The shower head housing is manufactured using high-precision injection molding, employing high-gloss materials such as ABS and PC. Combined with electroplating or painting surface treatments, the product achieves a balance of aesthetics, corrosion resistance, and water resistance.
Material Properties:
ABS offers high strength, suitability for electroplating, and corrosion resistance; PC provides a transparent effect.
Production Process
- Raw material drying and coloring
- Precision injection molding to ensure uniform water flow holes
- Cooling and shaping to prevent dimensional distortion
- Electroplating or painting to enhance aesthetics and corrosion resistance
- Rigorous water flow testing and visual inspection
