In 1596, the British nobleman Harrington invented the world’s first practical toilet. In the hundreds of years since its invention, the toilet style has been constantly changing, but the material is almost still porcelain, why not other materials?
The sales manager of LORY Sanitary Ware Marketing Center pointed out that a toilet needs to have the ability to complete the following three tasks:
1. It must be a flushing machine;
2. It must be waterproof, clean and hygienic;
3. Must be strong.
Because people are sitting on the toilet, and some people are very heavy. Porcelain can meet the above three needs.
The design of the toilet is very complex, the water tank, valve, overflow pipe, sewage pipe and so on are all very delicate, which contains many intricate engineering applications. Ceramic toilets are made of clay and water. The process of producing toilets, including blank manufacturing, blank molding, and porcelain sintering. These procedures are relatively simple, and the cost is very low.
Plastics, on the other hand, are made into articles by extrusion, or injection molding. For something as complex as a toilet, the cost of using plastic is too high.
The main factor for toilet porcelain is its durability. For an overweight person, the plastic material will definitely bend gradually under strong impacts 1-2 times a day on average. This is very important user experience.
So, what about using stainless steel as a toilet material? Although stainless steel is also very strong, it is very sensitive to changes in temperature. It is simply unacceptable for users to use such a toilet to go to the toilet in the winter.
Porcelain is also very waterproof. The secret of porcelain waterproofing is glaze. Glaze allows bacteria and water to settle on the outer layer of the glaze, which is also easy to clean.
Porcelain has always been the first choice for toilet and bathroom materials for so many years. The toilets and squatting toilets produced by LORY company all use the newly developed self-cleaning glaze, and the anti-fouling and antibacterial properties are higher than the industry level.
