The Materials Guide
Our buckles
1. Brass : Brass is a very resistant gold metal, it withstands shocks, heat and water. It will become covered with a coppery tint over time which can easily be cleaned with baking soda or toothpaste for example! For maintenance, nothing complicated, clean it regularly and dry it after contact with water to maintain its shine!
2. Stainless steel : Stainless steel lasts over time, does not rust, resists heat and corrosion... It is an easy metal to maintain! It also has a high resistance to weight! For maintenance, nothing complicated, clean it regularly and dry it after contact with water to keep its shine!
3. Chrome or nickel-plated steel : Chrome or nickel-plated zinc is therefore a zinc alloy covered with chrome, a protective layer. It is a buckle that can oxidize through prolonged contact with water and over time if it is poorly maintained. It therefore requires more attention than stainless steel or brass but is also more affordable! We therefore advise you to clean it delicately (no persistent rubbing with abrasive tools) and to dry your chrome or nickel-plated carabiners/rivets well after rinsing or contact with water . To avoid: Friction, sand, prolonged contact with fresh water and salt water.
4. Aluminum : Aluminum lasts over time, does not rust, resists heat and corrosion... It is an easy metal to maintain. It is very light and very resistant! These secure closure carabiners are ideal for any type of leash or line and for any type of dog. In addition, aluminum is easily recyclable, a point that deserves to be noted! For maintenance, nothing complicated, clean it regularly and dry it after contact with water to maintain its shine!
