The single compartment kitchen sink is a single-bowl sink designed for the kitchen, usually made of stainless steel. This sink is popular for its simple and practical design, which can meet the basic cleaning needs of the kitchen. It provides users with a convenient cleaning platform, whether it is washing vegetables, washing dishes or handling other kitchen sundries. Its single-bowl design makes the sink simple and compact, easy to install in various kitchen cabinets, especially suitable for small kitchens with limited space.
High-quality stainless steel
The single compartment kitchen sink is made of 304 stainless steel, which is a high-quality material recognized in the industry. It contains 18% chromium and 8% - 10.5% nickel, giving it excellent corrosion resistance. After professional corrosion resistance testing, there was no rust on the surface after being placed in a salt spray environment for 48 hours, ensuring that it will not deform or rust during long-term use. Its tensile strength can reach 520 - 760MPa, and its yield strength is between 205 - 600MPa. It can withstand various pressures and impacts in daily use, such as washing hard ingredients in the sink or placing heavy pots, etc., without easily breaking or deforming. This high-quality stainless steel material not only ensures the durability of the sink, but also maintains a good appearance over time, without fading or peeling, providing users with a reliable and long-lasting kitchen cleaning solution for specific usage scenarios.
Precise size specifications
The size design of this sink has been carefully considered, with a length of 800mm, a width of 500mm, and a depth of 220mm. This size not only ensures sufficient space for use, but also adapts to the spatial layout of most family kitchens. The single-slot design inside provides ample space to accommodate larger pots and dishes for washing. For example, a standard-sized wok (about 30cm in diameter) can be easily placed in the sink for washing, while there is still enough space for rinsing and soaking. Moreover, such a size design has undergone extensive market research and ergonomic analysis to ensure that users are comfortable in arm extension and operation during use, and will not feel inconvenienced by the sink being too deep or too shallow, while also avoiding the situation where the sink is too large and takes up too much kitchen space.
Super corrosion resistance
The sink has undergone a special surface treatment process to form a dense oxide film, which is like a solid armor for the sink, which can effectively block the invasion of external corrosive substances. After rigorous testing, it can still maintain stable working conditions in acidic and alkaline environments with a pH value of 2-12 without corrosion. This is particularly important in the kitchen environment, because various cleaning agents and care products are often used in the kitchen, which may leave acidic or alkaline substances and pose a potential corrosion risk to the sink. For example, after cleaning with common kitchen cleaners (pH value of about 3-4), there is no sign of corrosion on the surface of the product, which fully proves the reliability of its corrosion resistance.
Excellent oil resistance
The special surface coating makes the sink have excellent oil resistance. In the oil resistance test, cooking oil was evenly applied to the surface of the sink and kept for 24 hours, and the cleaning work became extremely easy. The oil stains will not remain on the surface of the sink or penetrate into the material, mainly due to the special molecular structure of the coating. This coating can effectively change the adhesion between the oil stains and the sink surface, making it difficult for the oil stains to adhere. Compared with the sink without this coating, the time and amount of detergent required to clean the oil stains are greatly reduced. For example, in a family kitchen with a high cooking frequency, after long-term use of this sink, users reported that the cleaning time for cleaning grease was shortened by about 60% compared with that of ordinary sinks. This oil-resistant performance not only keeps the sink clean and shiny, but also reduces the odor and bacteria caused by the long-term accumulation of grease, providing a strong guarantee for the hygiene of the kitchen environment.
Convenient installation design
The installation process of the single compartment kitchen sink is extremely convenient, and the general installation time only takes 30-45 minutes. This is mainly due to its standardized design and humanized installation auxiliary parts. Its precise size can perfectly fit the reserved space of most kitchen cabinets. The mounting bracket and sealing strip on the bottom are the key components for its convenient installation. The mounting bracket is made of high-strength engineering plastics, with good support and stability, which can ensure that the sink will not shake after installation. The sealing strip is made of high-quality rubber material, with good elasticity and weather resistance, which can effectively prevent water leakage and seepage. This design not only facilitates users to install by themselves and reduces dependence on professional installers, but also reduces quality problems such as leakage and looseness caused by improper installation, allowing users to quickly and easily put the sink into use, improving the overall user experience.
Easy to clean and maintain
The surface of the sink has been finely polished, with a roughness of less than Ra0.4μm, showing a mirror-like luster. This polishing effect is not only beautiful and generous, but also effectively reduces the possibility of stains adhering. Compared with unpolished sinks, stains are more difficult to adhere to the surface of this sink and are easier to clean. Use a soft cloth dipped in a neutral detergent to wipe, and you can easily remove oil and water stains on the surface. Perform a deep clean once a week, use a professional stainless steel cleaner, dilute it at a ratio of 1:10, gently scrub the surface of the sink with a soft brush, and then rinse it with clean water to maintain the finish and hygiene of the sink. According to test data, users who use this sink have increased their cleaning efficiency by about 40%, and shortened their cleaning time to 60% of the original, saving users a lot of cleaning time and energy.
Long lifespan
Depending on the material properties and rigorous quality testing, the sink can last 15-20 years. This is based on accelerated life tests that simulate home use environments, including repeated water flow, chemical cleaning agent erosion, and heavy object compression. Under normal use conditions, the sink's corrosion resistance, wear resistance, and structural stability enable it to maintain good working conditions for a long time. Compared with the 8-10 year lifespan of ordinary sinks, this sink is more durable, reducing the frequency of replacement and long-term use costs. For example, a family replaces a sink every 10 years on average, but with this sink, it can be extended to 15 years or even longer, saving about 30%-50% of the replacement cost.
Ergonomic design
The depth and edge design of the sink fully consider the principles of ergonomics. The sink is 220mm deep, which ensures sufficient cleaning space while avoiding splashing. The edges are rounded with a radius of 3mm to avoid damage to the human body caused by sharp corners. For example, if you accidentally touch the edge of the sink when moving quickly in the kitchen, you will not be scratched by the sharp corners. At the same time, this design is also easy to clean because there are no sharp corners to accumulate dirt. In addition, the width and length ratio of the sink is in line with human operating habits. When users are cleaning, the extension of their arms and wrists is more natural, reducing fatigue after long-term use.
Small apartment kitchen
The single compartment kitchen sink is an ideal choice for small apartment kitchens. As apartment kitchens usually have limited space, the compact size of this sink fits perfectly without taking up too much space.

After 8 hours of continuous use, the sink still maintained stable performance without any damage or leakage. At the same time, its convenient installation design enables the installation and replacement of the sink to be completed quickly during the renovation and equipment update of the activity center kitchen, reducing construction time and the impact on event arrangements.
School Laboratory Clean Area
In the school's laboratory clean area, the single compartment kitchen sink provides a reliable and durable cleaning solution. Various chemical reagents and experimental equipment are often used in the laboratory, requiring a sink that can withstand chemical corrosion and frequent cleaning. The 304 stainless steel material and super corrosion resistance of the sink enable it to work stably and long-term in the laboratory environment. For example, in a middle school chemistry laboratory, students need to clean laboratory equipment, such as beakers and test tubes, after the experiment. The chemical reagents left on these equipment may corrode the sink. After one semester of use, there is no sign of corrosion on the surface of the sink, and it is still in good working condition. At the same time, its easy-to-clean feature allows laboratory administrators to quickly complete the cleaning work and ensure the hygiene and safety of laboratory equipment.
Regular basic cleaning
To keep the single compartment kitchen sink in good condition, it is recommended to wipe the sink with a soft cloth dipped in neutral detergent after use every day to remove oil and water stains on the surface. Perform a deep cleaning once a week, using a professional stainless steel cleaner diluted with water at a ratio of 1:10. Gently scrub the surface of the sink with a soft brush to effectively remove stubborn stains and bacteria attached to the surface. Then rinse thoroughly with clean water to ensure that there is no detergent residue. During the rinsing process, you can use a multi-directional flushing method, flushing from the edge of the sink to the center, and then from the front, back, left and right of the sink in turn to ensure that every corner is cleaned. Such basic cleaning can not only maintain the finish and hygiene of the sink, but also extend the service life of the sink. Compared with the sink that is only wiped simply, the surface of the sink that has been deep cleaned regularly will have significantly fewer scratches and stains accumulated, and the cleanliness will be improved by about 40%. At the same time, basic cleaning can promptly discover some potential problems of the sink, such as whether the drain is blocked or the sealing strip is damaged, so as to facilitate timely repairs.
Fine care to avoid scratches from hard objects
During daily use, always pay attention to avoid direct contact between sharp knives, hard tableware, etc. on the surface of the sink. Although stainless steel has a high hardness, it will still be scratched if it is rubbed or hit by hard objects for a long time, affecting the beauty and service life of the sink. If you need to cut food in the sink, you must use a dedicated cutting board. When scratches appear accidentally, you can use a delicate metal polish to repair them. The method of using the polish is to squeeze a small amount of polish on a soft cloth first, and then gently wipe the scratch along the texture direction of the sink. The force of each wipe should be uniform to avoid new scratches caused by uneven force. After wiping for a period of time, rinse with clean water and wipe dry with a dry cloth. After such repair, shallow scratches can be better handled, and the glossiness of the sink surface can also be restored to a certain extent. In addition, regularly check whether there are tiny scratches on the surface of the sink, and repair them in time to avoid further expansion of the scratches. According to statistics, the surface integrity of a sink that is carefully cared for to avoid scratches by hard objects can be maintained at more than 95%, and the service life can be extended by about 3-5 years compared to a sink that does not pay attention to protection.
Maintenance methods to prevent chemical corrosion
In the kitchen environment, try to avoid long-term contact of strong acids, strong alkalis and other chemicals with the sink. If accidentally spilled, it must be rinsed immediately with plenty of clean water. When cleaning and disinfecting, it is crucial to choose detergents and disinfectants suitable for stainless steel. For example, although chlorine-containing disinfectants have good bactericidal effects, if they are not thoroughly rinsed after use, chloride ions will gradually penetrate into the stainless steel, destroying the oxide film on its surface and causing corrosion. Therefore, after using chlorine-containing disinfectants, strictly follow the requirements of the instructions, rinse the sink repeatedly with plenty of clean water, and wipe it dry with a clean soft cloth. When storing chemicals, make sure they are away from the sink. You can use a special chemical storage cabinet, and the storage cabinet must maintain good sealing to prevent chemical leakage. At the same time, regularly check whether there are chemical residues or signs of leakage around the sink. Once found, clean and deal with them in time. Through these maintenance methods, the risk of chemical corrosion of the sink can be reduced by about 85%, effectively protecting the material and performance of the sink.
Regularly check the drainage system
Every month or so, conduct a detailed inspection of the sink's drainage system. Check whether the drain outlet is blocked. You can turn on the faucet to the maximum water flow and observe whether the water can be discharged smoothly. If the drainage speed slows down, the drain outlet may be blocked by food residues or other debris. At this time, you can use professional drainage unblocking tools, such as pipe dredgers or plungers, to carefully remove the blockage. At the same time, check whether the connection of the drainage pipe is leaking or loose. When checking the connection, you can place a dry cloth under the sink, turn on the faucet, and observe whether the dry cloth is soaked by water. If a leak is found, it may be that the sealing strip is damaged or the connection parts are loose, and timely repairs are required. When repairing, you can turn off the water source first, and then replace the sealing strip or tighten the connection parts according to the actual situation. Regular inspections of the drainage system can effectively prevent problems such as water accumulation and leakage in the sink caused by poor drainage, ensure the normal use of the sink, and reduce maintenance costs. The drainage failure rate of sinks that have undergone regular drainage system inspections can be reduced by about 90%, greatly improving the reliability of the sink.
Professional maintenance and polishing
Ask professional kitchen equipment maintenance personnel to conduct a comprehensive inspection and maintenance of the sink every year. Professional maintenance personnel have rich experience and professional equipment, and they can conduct in-depth inspections of the welding parts, material structures, etc. of the sink. For example, professional flaw detection equipment is used to detect whether there are internal cracks or cold welding phenomena in the welding parts. These problems are difficult for ordinary users to detect, but may cause the sink to leak or break during long-term use. For the problems found, professionals can repair them in time. At the same time, they can also polish the sink to restore its original gloss and beauty. During the polishing process, professionals will select appropriate polishing tools and materials according to the actual situation of the sink, and use the correct polishing process to avoid excessive polishing and material damage. Through regular professional maintenance, it can ensure that the sink is in good working condition for a long time, extend its service life by about 25% - 35%, and provide users with a high-quality use experience for specific usage scenarios.
Seasonal maintenance measures
In different seasons, taking corresponding maintenance measures for the sink can effectively extend its service life. In winter, due to the low temperature, the sink may be affected by freezing. If the kitchen is located in a low temperature area and the sink is in a humid state for a long time, the residual moisture in the sink may freeze and expand, causing the sink to deform or crack. Therefore, before the arrival of winter, make sure the sink is thoroughly dry and place some moisture-absorbing materials, such as desiccant, in the cabinet under the sink to maintain a dry environment around the sink. At the same time, after using the sink in winter, drain the water in the sink in time and wipe it with a dry cloth to avoid residual moisture. In summer, the kitchen environment is relatively humid and easy to breed bacteria and mold. At this time, increase the cleaning frequency and wipe the sink with a professional antibacterial cleaner every week to prevent the growth of bacteria and mold. In addition, summer is the peak period for the use of detergents and disinfectants. Be careful to avoid corrosion of the sink by strong acid and strong alkaline detergents, and rinse it in time after use. Through these seasonal maintenance measures, you can effectively deal with the impact of different environmental conditions on the sink and ensure that the sink can maintain good working condition throughout the year.
