Brushed copper is a popular finish for home decor and hardware. It has a warm reddish-brown color and a matte texture, achieved by brushing the surface of the metal in one direction. This gives it a subtle, elegant look that pairs well with a variety of design styles, from traditional to modern.

Brushed copper plating is to dissolve a soluble copper compound called "brush agent" in an appropriate solvent, and then evenly apply it on the surface of the zinc alloy by hood spray or dipping, and then reduce the brush agent to copper by baking. This surface treatment method can make the surface of the zinc alloy obtain a golden to dark red color, with obvious surface texture and good texture.

Brushed copper plating can make the surface of the zinc alloy material have the following advantages:

1. Greatly improve the corrosion resistance. Brushed copper plating can cover the subtle defects on the surface of the zinc alloy, thereby slowing down the corrosion and degradation of the surface of the zinc alloy.
2. Improve the hardness of the metal surface. Copper is a metal with higher hardness and tougher than zinc, so brushed copper plating can also improve the metal hardness of the zinc alloy.
3. It can enhance the beauty of the zinc alloy surface. Brushed copper plating can make the surface of the zinc alloy have obvious color, high beauty and good texture.
4. Excellent friction performance. Because red copper has high hardness, it can still maintain good protection for the zinc alloy surface even if it is continuously worn away.
