The Problem with Stainless Steel
Cross-section diagram of stainless steel
While stainless steel is known for its resistance to rust and corrosion, it is not entirely rust-proof. It can corrode under the following conditions:
- Heat damage
- Scratches and surface abrasion
- Exposure to chlorides (e.g., salt)
- Harsh chemicals
- Low-oxygen environments
Under these conditions, the protective layer becomes compromised, allowing contaminants to penetrate the surface and prevent the reformation of the chromium oxide layer. This contamination facilitates the onset of rust and corrosion, undermining the material's inherent protective properties.
Our products eliminate all contaminants and restore the chromium oxide layer within fifteen minutes. Simply rinse with water afterward to achieve a pickled and passivated surface.
