The bag hardware is mostly made of metal alloy, such as metal chrome D ring buckle, which has an electroplated protective layer on the outside. After the protective layer is worn, the metal inside will come into contact with the air and oxidize. In the course of use, due to improper use of the bag hardware, there may be breakage, slippage and other phenomena. In order to avoid these phenomena, we need to understand some knowledge about "hardware maintenance".
1. anti-wear
The dust particles in the air are very hard. Contact with the hardware, coupled with the action of external force, will cause the hardware to wear and oxidize. Therefore, hardware maintenance must do a good job in daily bag cleaning, and clean the bag once a day or a week, which can not only keep the bag clean as new, but also extend the service life of the bag.
2. Moisture-proof
Wetness will provide a favorable environment for metal to rust. When the bag is in a humid environment, it will not only cause the hardware to rust, but also cause mildew. Therefore, bags must be stored in a dry environment.
3. Anti-load
Overloading the bag with heavy objects may not only cause the hardware at the handle or shoulder strap to break, but also easily cause the bag to deform. Therefore, the maintenance of bag hardware must avoid bag load.
4. Shockproof
In the process of long-term use of the bag, some hardware parts fixed with screws are often due to the large amplitude of daily activities. Therefore, in the process of bag use, we must pay attention to regularly check the firmness of the hardware.
5. Anti-salt and corrosive chemicals
Salt, strong acid, and strong alkali are very corrosive to metals, and the maintenance of bag hardware must be kept away from these substances.
