Why 304 stainless steel is called food grade stainless steel
You must be very familiar with 304 stainless steel, we are Lane Joy and we are a factory located in Shenzhen and we production of a variety of 304 stainless steel products for more than 13 years such as Cooling Rack, Baking Rack, Cooking Rack, Smoking Rack,draining rack,Barbecue Grill Grate, grill mesh, Cooking Grid, Pull Out Cabinet Organizer,Fruit & Vegetable basket.

Many people do not understand why 304 stainless steel is known as food grade stainless steel, then we will do a simple science for you, why 304 stainless steel is known as food grade reasons.
First of all, we need to understand that there are a lot of weak acid and alkaline substances in the food processing plant. Over time, these substances will produce corrosion on the metal, and 304 stainless steel itself has good corrosion resistance, but the chemical reaction with acid and base will still decompose various prices of "chromium", toxic.Moreover, it is required to limit the content of various alloy impurities such as lead and cadmium.
Stainless steel internal mixed with chromium, nickel element, this element is the key to rust, if the nickel and chromium content is high, the stronger the corrosion protection function, but the resulting amount of nickel, chromium precipitation increases, means of security risk increase, when the stainless steel products in the use of the migration of heavy metals in more than a limited, may endanger human body health.Therefore, food grade stainless steel needs to find a balance between corrosion resistance and safety.And the choice of this balance point is 304 stainless steel.

304 stainless steel inverted chain not only ensures that the amount of nickel chromium decomposition will not cause harm to the human body, but also ensures that the stainless steel products should have corrosion resistance, this is the main reason 304 stainless steel is known as food grade stainless steel.

For the health of you and your family in daily life, please try to choose and use 304 stainless steel products, because 304 stainless steel is food grade stainless steel that in line with the national safety quality system.Please choose our Lane Joy products when purchasing 304 stainless steel products.
