Benefits of stainless steel trash cans


Because stainless steel is resistant to weak corrosive media such as air, steam, water, and chemical corrosive media such as acid, alkali, and salt, the stainless steel trash can has high durability. The trash can made of stainless steel all over the body also has a fireproof function, which is sturdy and durable. The corrosion resistance of stainless steel trash cans depends on the alloying elements contained in the steel. Chromium is a basic element that enables stainless steel to obtain corrosion resistance. When the chromium content in steel reaches about 12%, chromium reacts with oxygen in the corrosive medium to form a thin oxide film (self passivation film) on the surface of the steel, which can prevent further corrosion of the steel substrate. In addition to chromium, the commonly used alloying elements include nickel, molybdenum, titanium, niobium, copper, and nitrogen to meet the requirements of various applications for the structure and properties of stainless steel.
The trash can is also a "bacterial nest" that is extremely easy to hide and accept dirt because it has to accept various types of waste and is surrounded by bacteria, viruses, and molds every day, thereby polluting the indoor and outdoor environment. Some trash cans on the market may contain some radioactive substances or harmful volatile substances due to unclear sources of plastic materials, which pose certain health risks. However, stainless steel and bamboo woven trash cans not only reduce such problems, but also are easy to clean. In addition, a smaller trash can can can encourage people to take out garbage frequently, shortening the time for germs to grow.
