Life is healthier withAcesita Stainless Steel.

One of the most well-known applications of stainless steel is

in household utilities. Products that are present in the daily life

of consumers, such as cutlery, professional knifes, pots, andtableware, feature recognized advantages when they are

made of stainless steel.

Stainless steel is highly resistant to corrosion, thus keeping

the products original qualities for a long time. Due to its non-

porous smooth surface (similar to glass), it makes it difficult for

food to accumulate and facilitates cleaning, thus preventing

the proliferation of bacteria in utensils. It is the ideal material for

applications where this contamination risk exists (it retains ten

times less microbes than plastic or enameled steel), thus

contributing to the asepsis and hygiene required for health

and food handling.

It also doesn't alter the smell, colour and taste of food and

beverages, since it doesn't release metal particles, even if

they remain in contact for a long time.

Applications to this sector include:

Acesita Stainless Steel: it is so essentialthat it is difficult not to use it.

Architects and engineers have been using stainless steel for

more than 80 years now, for several internal and external

applications in civil engineering.

Its elegant and modern look is ideal for projects that require

quality, durability and strength, without giving up aesthetics. For

these cases, stainless steel is the perfect option.

It doesn't require coatings or any other protection against

corrosion, and keeps its original look for a long time.

It is easy to adapt to any architectural project, since it may be

cut, welded and shaped according to the specifications of

architects and engineers.

Versatility: the surface of stainless steel can be bright, mat,

brushed or colored, and it may be applied to plane or non-

plane surfaces. Stainless steel can meet any specification, no

matter how bold the project is. Easy to clean. Water and neutral detergent applied with a soft

sponge are usually enough to remove dirt. For specific

cleaning, see Acesita Cleaning and Maintenance Manual.

Low maintenance cost.

Several options for surface finishes (see the finish chart).

100% recyclable. Stainless steel is environmentally friendly.

High mechanical resistance when compared to other types of

steel. Stainless steel resistance is 20% higher than that of

common steel. Therefore, lower thicknesses and sectionscan be used.

Its low rate of particle retention makes it the ideal material for

use in situations where rigorous hygienic conditions are

required, as in hospitals and industrial kitchens.

It has excellent applications in street furniture, elevators,

escalators, lining panels, handrails, and pavements, and it has

a very good cost-benefit ratio.

Choosing the most appropriate type of stainless steel for the

envisaged application is essential to obtain the best possible

results in architecture and civil engineering. For more

information, feel free to ask Acesita.

Even when it is hidden,stainless steel works beautifully.

You might not see it, but the most modern cars in the world

use stainless steel in several of their components. And one

should keep in mind that the automotive industry is most

demanding with regard to the safety and efficiency of their

products.

It is used, for instance, in exhaust systems of automotive

vehicles, a classic application spread all over the world by

now. The specific consumption by Brazilian-made vehicles

is growing every year, due to the tendency of car warranties

to increase, which leads to the specialization on materials

that are more resistant to corrosion, that have a good

weldability and are easy to shape by mechanical means.

Nowadays, the automotive industry uses stainless steel in

ironwork and parts, exhaust systems, road tanks, catalysts,

break disks for motorcycles, bus structures, rail coaches,

clamps, fuel tanks, fuel and oil filters, etc. Due to Brazil's

continental dimensions, the transport of goods is an

extremely important issue for the development of the

country. Recent development of new steels at Acesita, the

current state of Brazilian industry, and the tendency to

weight reduction, with its consequent fuel saving, bring

good perspectives for the use of stainless steel in several

implements and vehicles for the transport of goods.

Many other uses are being researched and discovered - it

suffices to keep our eyes open to new opportunities. Acesita

Stainless Steel: those who know about quality use it.

Acesita Stainless Steel.New applications each day.

The use of Acesita Stainless Steel has been growing at the

same rate as the discovery of new applications for it. New

alloys transformed Acesita Stainless Steel into a more

competitive product with an excellent cost-benefit ratio

when compared to its competitor materials. Today,

stainless steel is an important element in sugar mills,

winegrowing farms, beer breweries and other industries,

e.g. petrochemical and paper and cellulose. Liquid

containers and storage and cooling tanks are among the

most common applications of stainless steel.

In the food and pharmaceutical industries, Acesita's

stainless steel offers a series of advantages, mainly for

allowing for a high level of cleanness and for the possibility

to preserve the original characteristics of the products,such as color, flavor and smell. Since it presents a low

roughness level, the cleaning of tanks and other reservoirs

is done more efficiently and at low cost.

Maintenance and cleaning.

Routine cleaning: The best products to preserve

stainless steel are water, soap, mild and neutral

detergents and ammonium-based stain removers diluted

in warm water and applied with a soft cloth or nylon

sponge. After that, you only need to rinse its surface with

plenty of water, preferably warm. It is important to dry it

with a soft cloth, in order to prevent stains.

Moderate dirt / Light stains: If water and soap are

not enough, apply a paste made of plaster or sodium

bicarbonate dissolved in alcohol for household use

(cleaning products that can be found in the market). Rub

the surface gently with a soft cloth or a soft-bristle brush.

Avoid rubbing with circular movements. Rinse the steel

with plenty of warm water and dry it with a soft cloth.

Heavy dirt/stains: Pre-immerge the dirty surface in

warm detergent or in an ammonium-based stain remover

solution. If this is still not enough, make use of caustic

soda-based removers (used in household cleaning). As a

last resource, use sapolium-like products. Finally, rinse

and follow the steps for "Routine cleaning".


31/40

Tips.

Fats and oils: Remove excess with a paper towel.Clean with a warm solution of detergent or ammonium,and then follow the steps for "Routine cleaning".

Fingerprints: Clean with a soft cloth previously damp inisopropyl alcohol or in an organic solvent (ether, benzine).

Stuck labels: Unstick as much as possible. Wet thearea with warm water and rub it with a soft cloth. If the glueresists, dry and rub gently with alcohol or an organicsolvent. Never scrape the surface with blades or scrapers,and don't use abrasive cleansers.

Rust stains: Their presence indicate that a fragmentof common steel has been in contact with the stainlesssteel surface for a long period. Apply water and nitricacid at 10% with a cotton swab, keeping the area wet

with this solution for 20 to 30 minutes. Repeat ifnecessary. Rub the heavier stains vigorously with apaste made of sapolium, water and nitric acid at 10%,

using a polishing sponge. Rinse with an ammonium orsodium bicarbonate solution and then follow the stepsfor "Routine cleaning".

Water stains: Wash with water and dry thoroughly witha dry soft cloth.

Paint and graffiti: Use alkaline or solvent-based paintremovers. Never use scrapers or knifes to preventscratching the surface of the stainless steel.

Widespread, resistant, and hardly identifiable dirt:Use a polisher for chrome-plated metal parts or apolisher for automotive paint.


32/40

Usually, the stainless steel used for the lining of

refrigerator doors and washing machine cabinets has

a colorless coating to prevent fingerprints. In such

stainless steel components, it is very important to use

water and soap or detergent only, and no other

chemical products, due to the risk of damaging the

protective coating.

Never use common-steel wool to clean stainless steel

products, since it can rust and stain them.
