  • Analysis of Hydrographic Printing Application in Door Hardware Surface Finishing

    I. Process Advantages 1. Exceptional Process Adaptability Complete pattern coverage on complex geometries Customizable designs with client-driven pattern creation 2. Cost Efficiency Industry-leading affordability for customized finishes 80%+ mold cost reduction for new product development 3. Family-Style Design Extension Unified aesthetics across product lines (handles, locks, door closers, etc.) Seamless pattern transitions enhance brand consistency 4. Environmental Durability Derived from motorcycle exhaust treatment technology Withstands -20°C to 80°C; 40% improvement in UV resistance (ASTM D4587 compliant) II. Process Limitations 1. Minimum Order Requirements Base production threshold: 2,000 standard units per order 5,000-unit minimum for specialized designs (e.g., lever handles) 2. Cost Structure Considerations 15-20% higher unit cost vs. standard finishes Marginal cost reduces to 92% of conventional processes for 10k+ unit orders 3. Production Timeline Constraints 72-hour curing cycle for pattern stabilization Multi-color printing increases lead time by 15%

  • Overview of PCS product classification

    Overview of PCS product classification-There are about 211 models of the design, with 33 models of independent R&D. The economy models are 679 in total. Our products are divided into 4 categories according to different applications, Handle, lock, hinge and Door accessories. Each category is subdivided according to the market habits to make it easier for customers to search. ‘Recommended models’ are categorised according to their original purpose and according to the market need they address. Take Lever handle as an example: 1. Functional products: Quick install handles, lock handles; 2. Certified structures: EN1906 Grade 3/4; Fire rated 30/60/90min; 3. Exterior design products: ultra-thin models, design lever, knurled handle; 4. Economic indoor products: low-cost economic handles based on price considerations; What's more, our company can be combined and matched according to what customers need, for example the 1+2+3 list above. And new design Grade 3 quick-install handles. We have lots of products to meet the needs of different customers in different markets. As of December 2024, we had 971 models of products available supply all over the world.

  • Only keep investing can catch up with the improvement of market.

    Dearest Buffett said, I am fearful when the market is greedy, but I'll be greedy when the market is fearful. Same story in the machine investment. Only keep investing can catch up with the improvement of market. #ironmongery #architecturalhardware #doorfittings #doorhardware #Manufactory #doorhandle #DoorPull #Stainlesssteelhandle #hardwaring #project 

1, Surface Preparation Requirements
PVD Coating:
Requires Class-A surface finishing (Ra ≤ 0.2μm per ISO 1302)
Demands precise tooling marks alignment (≤0.05mm deviation)

Powder Coating:
Tolerates surface roughness up to Ra 3.2μm (ASME B46.1)
Sandblasting at 80-100 grit suffices for adhesion enhancement

2, Application Environment

Coating TypeRecommended UseUV Exposure Limit
Standard PowderIndoor applications≤200kLux/year (EN 12206)
NTUV PowderOutdoor/balcony use≤600kLux/year (AAMA 2604)

Note: NTUV coating extends color retention to 5+ years under 450nm UV radiation (per ASTM G154 Cycle 4)
