Why Metal Buttons Need Surface Treatment?

Metal surface treatment is very important in many industries. It is not a new process, but a process that dates back as early as mankind started using gold decoratively before 4000 BC. Today there can be several reasons why it is necessary to change the surface properties of metals, such as:

-Decoration and/or reflectivity

-Improved hardness (eg. for resistance to damage and wear)

-Prevention of corrosion

Metal surface treatment plays an enormous role in extending the life of metals. This article mainly introduces why metal buttons need surface treatment.

DECORATION

1. Brightness

Compared with other fasteners made of natural wood or resin, metal clothing buttons have a bright metallic texture, which is their basic feature that attracts the eye. It now appears that mirror reflection or simple light effects can no longer meet the needs of diverse clothing. Metal buttons with a matte effect have soft colors and smooth surfaces and are currently in fashion. The different combinations of colors and patterns provide us with many high-end and professional products.

2. Color

Color and luster play an important role in the decorative function of custom metal buttons. Various colors attract us with different charms. For example, gold or imitation gold represents elegance and luxury. Bronze, red copper and ancient silver have a sense of time and history. The black series, such as gun black and black nickel, embodies mystery and nobility.

With the continuous innovation of technology, people have broken the traditional concept and put forward a variety of different color combinations to make the surface of the metal snap button more fashionable and more distinctive.
