The difference between real enamel craftsmanship and imitation enamel craftsmanship

Difference one:
different materials
Red copper is commonly used in real enamel, which has high temperature resistance and a copper content of more than 95%, because real enamel is a enamel glaze that has been crushed and ground, applied to copper or silver utensils, and passed through a high temperature of 850°C. On the surface of the fired metal, its characteristics are: the color is long-lasting, it can be maintained for a hundred years without discoloration, and the price is relatively expensive.

Bronze and zinc alloys are commonly used in imitation enamel, because imitation enamel does not have such high requirements for high temperature. A color paste is used, and the process is similar to that of real enamel. The surface can be plated with gold, silver and other metal colors, which is smooth and delicate, giving people A very noble feeling, and the price is cheaper than real enamel, it is the first choice for medium and high-end badge making.

Difference two:
different colors
True enamel: glossy matte, less options. Real enamel uses natural mineral powder, and the color is limited, which is a little less than the selected color.
Imitation enamel: high gloss, Pantone color. Imitation enamel is a kind of color paste. There are many colors to choose from. Customers can provide Pantone color numbers, and we can make them.


Difference three:
different hardness
Real enamel: hard, it is not easy to be cut and scratched with hard or sharp objects, so it tends to be used for collection.
Imitation enamel: soft, scratched with hard or sharp objects, easy to cut and scratch, often used in gift-giving.
