Better durability
corrosion

Stainless steel is a type of steel that contains at least 10.5% chromium and has a balanced chemical composition for better corrosion resistance.

Corrosion is the natural enemy of metals. Common steels react with oxygen in the air, forming a surface layer of iron oxide. This layer is extremely porous and allows the continuous oxidation of the steel, producing corrosion, popularly known as "rust".

Stainless steel has an extremely thin, continuous, stable, and highly resistant layer on its surface called the passive layer. The passive layer is formed by the combination of oxygen from the air with the chromium in the stainless steel, thus protecting it against corrosion from the environment.

WHERE CAN IT BE USED?

Hospital Equipment

The medical field is extremely innovative, especially in the area of equipment and instruments.

Stainless steel has played an important role in the development of implants, surgical instruments, and operating rooms.

It can be easily cleaned, disinfected and sterilized to remove dirt and microbial contamination, and even resist biofilm formation (on the best surface finishes) .

Architecture and Design

An ideal solution for roofing, windows, doors, building entrances, handrails, railings, street furniture, interior decoration, sinks and basins, stainless steel adds value to constructions through its mechanical and aesthetic properties.

Among the characteristics of stainless steel, the ease of cleaning stands out due to the low roughness of its surface, which is also responsible for its modern appearance.

Stainless steel is ideal for the growing number of applications in architecture.

Industrial Kitchen

Hygiene is a very important aspect in the preparation or processing of food and beverages.

Stainless steel has a proven track record of success in areas where hygiene and ease of cleaning are critical.

The fact that it allows for easy cleaning makes stainless steel the first choice for strict hygienic conditions, such as those required in hospitals, kitchens, restaurants, and similar settings.
