Materials and Surface Treatment

Stainless steel is a corrosion-resistant alloy that contains at least 10.5 % of chromium. Its resistance to corrosion is achieved through a chemical reaction in which chromium, in contact with oxygen, forms a thin passive protection layer on the surface of the material.

Stainless steel is exceptionally durable, resistant to extreme temperatures, and enables simple cleaning and maintenance. These properties make it an indispensable material in the food, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries, where hygiene, safety, and reliability are paramount. Since it can be fully recycled without any loss of quality, stainless steel is also an environmentally friendly solution and the right choice for sustainable production in the future.
