PROPER CARE OF STAINLESS STEEL WILL PREVENT RUSTING

Midmark uses only USA-manufactured series 304 stainless steel. Series 304 is often

referred to as medical-grade stainless steel due to its composition.

Series 304 stainless steel is composed of the following:

Iron 64.9%

Chromium

18-20%

Nickel

8-12%

Carbon 0.08%

Maganese 2%

Phosphorus 0.045%

Sulfur 0.03%

• Frequent cleaning will prolong the life and help maintain the natural luster of

stainless steel.

• When cleaning, always rub in the direction of the “grain” of the metal.

• Avoid use of steel wool or steel brushes when cleaning stainless steel. These

steel particles may become embedded into the stainless steel and cause rust.

• Avoid the use of chlorine bleach. Chemicals in bleach will cause pitting,

corrosion and discoloration of the metal.

• Despite the name, stainless steel actually can stain and mark. However,

• Marks caused by the toenails of animals can often be removed using a mild

cleaner and wet paper towels.
