Corrosion resistance

Stainless steel forms a natural chromium oxide layer, making it extremely corrosion-resistant and effectively protecting it from rust. This protective layer forms naturally on the surface and is not affected by the electrochemical colouring process. As a result, the excellent corrosion resistance is fully maintained even in demanding environments and harsh weather conditions. The coloured chromium oxide layer retains its stability and vibrant colour for years. Reports show that no colour changes occur even after decades in outdoor environments.

Sustainability

Also known as inox, stainless steel is an extremely sustainable material because it is fully recyclable. At the end of its life cycle, the material can be reused without any loss of quality. This conserves resources and reduces energy consumption in the production of new materials. The high quality is retained during the recycling process, making coloured stainless steel ideal for environmentally conscious projects that focus on low ecological impact and sustainable material selection.

Temperature resistance

Coloured stainless steel retains its stability and durability even at high temperatures. The chromium oxide layer can withstand temperatures of up to 200°C and endure short-term peak temperatures without affecting the colour. The surface remains flexible and intact, even when the material is bent or shaped.

Hygiene

Stainless steel, with its smooth, pore-free surface, is particularly hygienic and easy to clean, making it the ideal choice for areas with strict cleanliness standards such as food processing, healthcare and the pharmaceutical industry. The electrochemical colouring does not alter its hygienic properties, ensuring that the surface remains resistant to contamination.

Maintenance costs and UV resistance

The durability and resilience of stainless steel help to minimise maintenance costs. The colour layer is UV-resistant and does not peel, ensuring long-lasting maintenance-free performance. An additional Anti-Fingerprint coating can further reduce cleaning effort by minimising dirt and fingerprints. This coating ensures that stainless steel maintains its polished appearance over time, significantly reducing cleaning costs.
