Proposal of “Antibacterial Designing Stainless Steel

投稿日:

The new coronavirus that is currently raging, the 0-157 that raged a few years ago, and many more.

The new coronavirus that is currently raging, the 0-157 that raged a few years ago, and the fungus and viruses that have always attacked us without warning. New viruses and fungi are attacking us one after another.

In such an age, we propose “antibacterial designed stainless steel” to fight against unknown viruses and bacteria as much as possible.

Antibacterial Designing Stainless Steel” to fight viruses and bacteria

The stainless steel has a certain amount of antibacterial copper added to it to enhance its antibacterial properties.

This is what the image looks like.

In the next section, I will explain whether it is possible to use such antibacterial stainless steel for design purposes.

 

Antibacterial stainless steel” that combines design and functionality

Antimicrobial resistance is increasingly required in various applications and places, such as kitchen tops, restaurant counters, tables, exterior of cooking equipment, interior of hospitals, etc.

The need for antimicrobial stainless steel is increasing in various areas such as kitchen tops, restaurant counters, tables, cooking equipment exteriors, and hospital interiors.

Antimicrobial stainless steel, like other stainless steel, can be designed and processed to enhance its design and function.

Processing of antibacterial stainless steel

Now, as for the question of whether this antibacterial stainless steel can be processed.

It can be cut, bent, cut and welded in the same way as general-purpose SUS304.

Powder snow MD K (fixed length plate material) is laser cut on the periphery, bent by a bender, and then Tig welded on the corners.

And finally, weld correction and polishing are done.

 

Difference between antibacterial stainless steel and general-purpose stainless steel (SUS304)

In terms of appearance, is there any difference from general-purpose stainless steel (SUS304)?

The lower part is a general-purpose SUS304 designed stainless steel plum branch.

 

Upper: Antibacterial design stainless steel Kousei MD K

The bottom one is general-purpose SUS304 designed stainless steel, Kousei MD.

 

As you can see, there is almost no difference.

In other words, there is no significant difference in appearance even if general-purpose stainless steel is used for the parts that do not require antibacterial properties and antibacterial design stainless steel is used for the parts that require antibacterial properties.

In other words, there is no significant difference in appearance even if general-purpose stainless steel is used for areas that do not require antimicrobial properties and antimicrobial design stainless steel is used for areas that do.

 

All materials with antimicrobial properties are the same, but the antimicrobial effect cannot be demonstrated unless the antimicrobial material is exposed on the surface.

The same is true for antimicrobial design stainless steel, which is only effective if the copper is deposited on the surface.

Therefore, if dust or dirt adheres to the surface, we ask you to clean it with ethanol for sterilization.

Commercial disinfectant ethanol is sufficient, so please wipe it off.

What are the advantages of antibacterial stainless steel?

The good thing about antimicrobial stainless steel is that, unlike resin, it does not deteriorate due to weathering or moist heat degradation.

It is also highly resistant to wear and tear through functional polishing, so there is little chance of chipping or scraping.

It is durable enough to be cleaned with ethanol over and over again.

 

Antibacterial Designing Stainless Steel” is a safe and reliable stainless steel with long-term durability, antibacterial properties and design.

We hope you will use it for applications that lead to your safety and security.

 

Please feel free to ask for samples as we have them ready.

We look forward to working with you.
