3.4 Cauons with Stainless Steel:
The Stainless Steel may present rust signs, which ARE ALWAYS CAUSED BY EXTERNAL
AGENTS, especially when the cleaning or sanizaon is not constant and appropriate.
The Stainless Steel resistance towards corrosion is mainly due to the presence of
chrome, which in contact with oxygen allows the formaon of a very thin protecve coat.
This protecve coat is formed through the whole surface of the steel, blocking the acon
of external corrosive agents.
When the protecve coat is broken, the corrosion process begins, being possible to
avoid it by means of constant and adequate cleaning.
Cleaning must always be done immediately aer using the equipment. For such
end, use water, neutral soap or detergent, and clean the equipment with a so cloth or a
nylon sponge. Then rinse it with plain running water, and dry immediately with a so cloth,
this way avoiding humidity on surfaces and especially on gaps.
The rinsing and drying processes are extremely important to prevent stains and
corrosion from arising.
IMPORTANT
Acid soluons, salty soluons, disinfectants and some sterilizing soluons
(hypochlorites, tetravalent ammonia salts, iodine compounds, nitric acid and
others), must be AVOIDED, once it cannot remain for long in contact with the
stainless steel:
These substances aack the stainless steel due to the CHLORINE on its composion, causing
corrosion spots (ping).
Even detergents used in domesc cleaning must not remain in contact with the stainless
steel longer than the necessary, being mandatory to remove it with plain water and then dry
the surface completely.
Use of abrasives:
Sponges or steel wool and carbon steel brushes, besides scratching the surface and
compromising the stainless steel protecon, leave parcles that rust and react contaminang
the stainless steel. That is why such products must not be used for cleaning and sanizaon.
Scrapings made with sharp instruments or similar must also be avoided.
Main substances that cause stainless steel corrosion:
Dust, grease, acid soluons such as vinegar, fruit juices, etc., saltern soluons (brine),
blood, detergents (except for the neutral ones), common steel parcles, residue of sponges or
common steel wool, and also other abrasives.
