\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t* Six Reasons Why Stainless Steel\u2019s Hygiene Will Help Us Combat the Virus<\/i><\/b>\n\nIn these delicate times when COVID-19 is spreading globally, it is evident that our current defenses are primarily the hygiene practices that prevent its spread. Stainless steel has always been one of the most used materials in environments where hygiene and disinfection are crucial\u2014hospitals, operating rooms, kitchens, refrigeration units, food storage areas, elevators, and public handrails are just a few examples. We want to highlight the numerous properties of stainless steel that make it highly suitable for maintaining hygiene across various sectors and uses. Here are six key points that make stainless steel highly\u00a0hygienic<\/b>, based on the intrinsic properties of the material:\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/section>\r\n\t\t\t\t

\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t1. Resistance to Corrosion\n\n<\/b>\n\nStainless steel is extremely resistant to corrosion because:\n
    \n \t
  • It is highly inert to substances it may come into contact with, thus preventing it from releasing its constituent elements.<\/li>\n \t
  • It is immune to the action of detergents, solvents, and substances used for bacterial removal.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t

    2. Lack of Protective Coatings
    <\/b>Stainless steel is originally free from surface coatings, which is a major advantage for maintaining high hygiene standards. Wear and tear on coated materials can lead to damage, deterioration, and surface discontinuities, which can become breeding grounds for dirt and bacteria.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t

    3. Absence of Porosity
    <\/b>This characteristic allows stainless steel to avoid absorbing specific substances that could alter its surface and properties, leading to poor hygiene and cleanliness.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/section>\r\n\t\t\t\t

    4. High Bacterial Removability
    <\/b>Hygiene also involves the ease of removing dirt and bacteria, a constant factor that must be maintained throughout the material's lifespan.<\/p>

    Stainless steel is highly suitable for this purpose.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t

    5. Low Bacterial Concentration After Cleaning Cycles
    <\/b>It is essential that the bacterial concentration after cleaning cycles of stainless steel is virtually zero.<\/p>

    This should be achievable with standard solvents or dedicated products, without needing frequent washes or more aggressive substances to achieve the expected results.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t

    6. Proper Use and Design of Products
    <\/b>Incorrect design or handling during the transformation of stainless steel from raw material to finished product can drastically reduce or even nullify its hygienic properties.<\/p>

    It is advisable to research the chemical composition of the selected steel, as well as its mechanical characteristics, by consulting certificates and technical datasheets in advance.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/section>\r\n\t\t\t\t
