4. Antibacterial, the enamel surface is smooth and non-porous, bacteria are difficult to adhere to, and it is even more difficult to multiplying.

5. High temperature resistance (high temperature 260℃), fast heat transfer, uniform heating, slow heat dissipation, and good heat preservation ability. This is why it is used for soup pots and steaming ovens.
