Mediclinics stainless steel is of the AISI 304 type, also known as 18-8 (referring to its chrome and nickel content). Under ISO norm Type-11.

In general, the thickness used by Mediclinics is 0.8 mm, although in some cases it can reach 1.5 mm.

This type of steel is non-ferrous. You can test this by placing it close to a magnet, and you will see how it does not stick. Ferrous steels, which are therefore likely to rust, on the other hand would stick.

This type of stainless steel is highly resistant to atmospheric rust, neutral humid environments, alkaline corrosion, acid (non-chlorinated) environments, and offers good resistance to corrosion at temperatures of up to 900ºC.

If equivalence with the norms of another country are required, please contact the Mediclinics’ technical department.

Note: Mediclinics works with bright and satin finishes. To find out more about the satin finish’s type of grain, please contact Mediclinics’ technical department.
