How to distinguish the imitation hard enamel products

Sometimes some suppliers would use epoxy coated soft enamel products to replace imitation hard enamel products. To help our customers better distinguish the imitation hard enamel products, Donghong Craft & Art Co., Ltd. sincerely share below characteristics and criteria of imitation hard enamel products. 

1. The raw material of imitation hard enamel is resin. Its color is the brightest one among all colored products.

2. Imitation hard enamel is a bit kind soft and can be stabbed with a sharp object. But it is not heat-resistant.

3. The luster is good, the backside has no impurity and the whole product has no radian.

4. The colors are flush with raised metal lines, the surface is a kind of smooth and the hand feels subtle metallic line when touching.

5. The imitation hard enamel goods would generally require the sandblasting on the recessed metal where without coloring since resin is an insulator and oily, when the color spills to the other no coloring recessed parts and there is no way to clean it, it would cause the plating defect for the goods. 

6. The metal part of imitation hard enamel products are usually made of bronze, sometimes copper. The price of bronze is relative cheaper than copper, and both the luster and brightness are better than copper.

7. Imitation hard enamel cannot be dyed black with electroplating, because darkener contains high chromium, which would cause the imitation hard enamel to become yellowing easily.
