High corrosion resistance & high stain resistance: The birth of "copper stainless steel" with super antibacterial effects.
Introducing a new stainless steel "Copper Stainless" that provides powerful antibacterial effects while being valued for its rust resistance. MTA-S10 is the world's first copper stainless material, with over 10% copper added to SUS430.
The main features are as follows:
1. Despite containing only 10% copper, it has antibacterial effects equivalent to pure copper.
➡ Certified by the Japan Copper Center as CU Star.
2. Unlike copper, it has excellent corrosion resistance.
➡ Copper rusts quickly.
3. It looks the same as stainless steel.
➡ 90% is stainless steel, so it appears silver.
4. Being iron-based, it is a safe, affordable, and secure material that contributes to SDGs.
➡ It is possible to promote iron-copper alloys while valuing the limited resource of copper.
While stainless steel is resistant to rust, it has almost no antibacterial properties and has been a contributing factor to food poisoning incidents caused by the proliferation of pathogens such as O-157, Staphylococcus, and E. coli. MTA-S10 has a powerful antibacterial effect that can eliminate Salmonella bacteria in under one minute.
