FAQ — Frequently Asked Questions
Is zamak used in taps and fittings?
Zamak is widely used for tap components: levers, cartridges, rosettes, escutcheons and decorative parts of mixers and taps.
Does zamak resist water contact?
With appropriate surface treatments (chrome plating, nickel plating), zamak components offer corrosion resistance comparable to chrome-nickel.
What is the advantage of zamak over brass in taps?
Zamak has lower cost, allows more complex geometries in a single piece and offers faster production cycles than brass.
