Stainless Steel Care and Maintenance(Continued)
4) All stainless steel products should be protected by a polish. As a prime example before any
product leaves Mopec it is coated with WD-40 as a protecting coating for the stainless. Mopec
offers a Stainless Steel Cleaner and Polish in both wipe and spray. These Mopec products
will not only deep clean your stainless but will also protect their finish from chemical, low PH
and salt and keep the finish looking like new.
Decal
Mopec advises that if the technicians are not taking the proper precautions when using the
Decal solution the possibility of two things will occur, a brown or rust ring where the Decal
resides along with a milky white substance on the surface. (As an example, reference the
below photos to see the rust rings.) Decal is very harsh, even the fumes can and will cause
staining on stainless steel. One thing that you might want to consider doing is to place the
Decal container you currently use inside a plastic base that will help catch drips that might
occur. Clean and rinse your station after every use of Decal solution.
Rust
Rust can and will occur on stainless if it is not maintained properly. The most common cause
of rust is from using metal or stainless racks that are not made of 304 stainless. This is
referred to as "transfer rust". Leaving of salts from cleaners or disinfectants can and will lead
to possible rust areas in the long term. Always rinse all disinfectants before they dry. Decal
solutions and even fumes are very aggressive and can cause rust if not cleaned up and used
properly around stainless. Formalin use has not been shown to cause rust in any way.
Conclusions & Suggestions
We are confident and can assure you that if you institute the suggestions detailed above that
your Mopec Grossing station will look as it did the day it arrived.
rinsing with clean water and wiping the surface dry will finish the process and eliminate the
possibility of water stains.
