Stainless steel is a family of steel grades characterized by increased resistance to oxidation (corrosion) due to their chemical composition. It is important to note that this type of steel is not completely resistant to corrosion, but has an increased resistance to it.
We use the following types of steel in our products:
The above mentioned types of stainless steel differ in their chemical composition, which greatly affects their resistance to corrosion. It is recommended not to use elements made of stainless steel (AISI 430, 304) in environments with high or very high corrosiveness, such as coastal areas or near industrial plants where there is significant sulfur dioxide pollution. It is also advised to use high quality products with limited amounts of aggressive ingredients for dispensing liquids (soap, disinfectants, pastes).
When choosing the type of steel, it is important to consider the concentration of pollutants in the atmosphere/room.
In case of increased amounts of sulfur oxides and chlorides in the atmosphere/room or when steel is exposed to direct contact with aggressive substances (chlorine, acids), it is recommended to use steel with molybdenum content (steel with molybdenum content of category 316L should be used).
EXAMPLES OF REMOVING THE MOST COMMON STAINS AND DISCOLORATIONS:
They should be washed with alcohol or solvent. After washing, rinse with cold water and dry thoroughly.
They should be washed with organic solvents and then with warm water with the addition of soap or mild detergent. Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly.
They should be washed with a gentle abrasive detergent, rubbing in the direction of the surface's polished structure. Rinse with clean cold water and dry thoroughly.
Clean with a slightly rough sponge in the direction of the visible surface structure. Rinse with clean cold water, then dry thoroughly.
The surface should be moistened with a solution of oxalic acid and left for about 15-20 minutes, then washed using a gentle detergent. Rinse with clean water and dry.
Clean the stained surface with a paint solvent, then rinse with clean water and dry.
Gently sand with a non-iron containing material in the direction of the sanded surface structure, then wash with a mild scrubbing detergent, rinse with clean water and dry.
ATTENTION!!!
Do not use cleaning products containing ingredients such as chlorine, salt, or bleach to clean stainless steel products. Even a small amount of chlorine in cleaning products can cause permanent damage to the chromium oxide layer responsible for anti-corrosion properties and ultimately lead to corrosion. Do not use powders or other abrasive products, silver cleaners, wire brushes, or sharp scrubbers.
