| CARING FOR STAINLESS STEEL
The information provided is designed
to give you a thorough understanding
of the factors that can impact the
appearance of your stainless steel.
By using this information, we hope
to help you enhance the beauty and
value to our products.
What Makes Stainless Steel
Stainless?
Oxygen is the key element in causing
rust, or red oxide on steel and other
metals. Stainless Steel contains Chro-
mium which reacts with the oxygen in
the air to form a chrome-oxide surface
layer that is invisible to the eye, but
strong enough to prevent further
oxygen from “staining” (rusting) the
surface. Higher levels of Chromium
and the addition of other alloying
elements such as nickel and molyb-
denum enhance this surface layer and
improve the corrosion resistance of
the stainless material.
What Determines Different
Grades of Stainless Steel?
The grade of Stainless Steel is
primarily determined by the amount
of the Chromium and Nickel alloys
contained in the material. 304 and 316
are the prominent grades of Stainless
Steel: 304 contains 1% Chromium and
8% Nickel, while 316 Contains 16%
Chromium and 10% Nickel and 2% Mo-
lybdenum. The Molybdenum is added
to help resist corrosion to chlorides
(like sea water and de-icing salts).
Can Stainless Steel rust?
Not in the way steel rusts. Steel will
discolor, bubble and flake from red
oxide development. Stainless Steel
may develop red spots, but this is
usually due to Iron particles on the
surface of the Stainless Steel. Any
Iron particles must be removed and
the Stainless Steel cleaned with a
high concentration of citric acid or
a commercial cleaner specifically
designed for Stainless Steel.
Is Stainless Steel Green (Envi-
ronmentally Friendly)?
Stainless Steel is highly sought after
by recyclers and is 100% recyclable.
New Stainless Steel typically has a
recycled content of between 65%
& 80% which makes it one of the
highest average content recycled
construction materials on the planet.
Will Stainless Steel Discolor?
Cleaners that are typically used with
cement, grout and stone, etc., may
contain Muriatic Acid. Stainless Steel
is not resistant to Muratic Acid. MU-
RIATIC ACID SHOULD NOT BE USED
IF STAINLESS STEEL IS PRESENT. It
is not even necessary that the acid
touch the Stainless Steel, just the
“fumes” from it will cause a discol-
oration of the Stainless Steel. Other
than this, Stainless Steel is usually
very resistant to discoloring.
