Stainless Steel

Stainless steel – a hygienic, durable and low maintenance solution

Washroom products manufactured from stainless steel inhibit vandalism and are easy to clean, helping building operators keep service and maintenance costs to a minimum.
Stainless steel is not only resistant to moisture and most acids, it also stands out due to its strength, hygienic characteristics and high tolerance to hot and cold temperatures, making it an ideal choice for hospitals and food processing plants. Dirt and oil can easily be washed from the smooth, pore-free surface without harsh cleaning products.

Stainless steel is a low-carbon steel that contains at least 10.5% chromium (Cr) and no more than 1.2% carbon (C). They form a self-regenerating surface layer that gives the
material resistance to corrosion and improves performance compared to unalloyed steels. Chromium is the key ingredient which makes it stainless and rust-resistant. Therefore, it ages gracefully. KWC uses steels with a higher chromium content and nickel alloy for its sanitary products, increasing its resistance to corrosion..
Surfaces overview
Material number 1.4301 (AISI 304) is used in accordance with DIN EN 10088. 304 stainless steel is manufactured with 18% chromium and 10% nickel, giving the material its
particular characteristics. Stainless steel is 100% recyclable.
