Keeping abreast of the latest developments in hygienic furniture and equipment is an effective way of ensuring that cleanroom environments remain efficient and support operational best practices. Stainless steel has become a material of choice when manufacturing cleanroom equipment because it is much stronger and easier to maintain.
Stainless steel is naturally protected from corrosion by a thin layer of chromium oxide. Oxygen combines with the chromium in the stainless steel to form a passive chromium oxide film that protects it from further corrosion.
Stainless steel equipment is essential for cleanrooms. Much of the furniture and equipment in cleanrooms is made of stainless steel because it is easy to clean and offers minimal particle generation compared to other raw materials.
Most cleanrooms have frequent contact with chemicals; therefore, it is important that your equipment be able to withstand a chemical spill. At Total Clean Air, we understand the importance of quality stainless steel materials. We have a vast selection of cleanroom stainless steel equipment in sizes that will suit the specific needs of your cleanroom.

Why Stainless Steel Is Considered Perfect for Cleanrooms
Stainless steel equipment and furniture are often used in cleanroom environments because they meet the stringent hygiene requirements for cleanroom processes. Products made with stainless steel support hygiene control through intelligent design and excellent manufacturing standards.
Stainless steel is robust and able to withstand the most rigorous cleaning processes. It is also versatile when it comes to design, which means tailor-made solutions can be produced when necessary.
With no pores or cracks to harbour dirt, grime or bacteria, it is easy to clean stainless steel equipment.

Grade 304
Grade 304 is the most versatile and widely used stainless steel. It is the dominant austenitic grade used in applications such as sinks and saucepans. It not only provides excellent resistance to corrosion, it is also easy to clean and disinfect. 304-grade stainless steel has no pores or cracks that might collect dirt, grime, or bacteria, and it can often be cleaned with soap and water, then disinfected. It is suitable for harsh environments and is basically inert to most acids and alkali.
Grade 316
Grade 316 stainless steel is an austenitic grade second to 304 in importance. It contains molybdenum which gives it improved corrosion resistance. Grade 316 stainless steel can withstand corrosive acidic attacks. It fares better with more aggressive cleaning routines. It is more expensive than the other grades, as it has a higher resistance to harsh chemicals. It is commonly used in the pharmaceutical and medical industry.
