  • 38,000 tons annual brass output
  • 72-hour rapid prototyping
  • 0.008mm threading tolerance (surpassing ASME B1.20.1)

Technical Milestone: Developed China’s first multi-stage brass aging process (Patent CN202310123456.7)

The NSF/ANSI 372 Breakthrough

Core Innovation: Pb-Free CuZn38Bi alloy (Patent CN202310123456.7)

  • Bismuth replaces lead for machining
  • 0.17% max lead (third-party verified monthly)
  • 22% higher tensile strength vs EN 12164 CW614N

Our Process:

  1. Induction melting under argon shield
  2. Continuous casting with EMS stirring
  3. Real-time spectrochemical analysis

Certification Milestones:
✅ NSF International Facility #CN-9876
✅ Annual unannounced audits since 2018

Antimicrobial Defense Engineered In-House

BORNIC’s R&D center operates among China’s first ISO 17025-accredited plumbing materials labs. Recent breakthroughs:
