Summary of the lecture
Stainless steels have played a significant role in this process. The bright and easy-to-clean surfaces make it quite obvious that stainless steel is a material for a healthier life. But what makes stainless steel your partner in hygiene?
Over the last 100 years the notion of ‘making available to everybody’ a high level of hygiene in their personal environment, in safe food and drinks preparation, in medical services and in public infrastructure has been a big achievement.
At the end of this steeltalk, participants will be able to:
- Identify the hygienic properties of stainless steel and their applications in healthcare and food industries.
- Explain the role of passive films in maintaining the cleanliness and durability of stainless steel.
- Compare stainless steel with alternative materials in terms of sanitation, durability, and maintenance.
- Assess the regulatory requirements for materials used in hygienic environments.
