It is our concern, but most of all pride, to inform customers that our sinks are made exclusively with the use of stainless steel AISI 304 18/10. This is a material of the highest quality, characterized by a chromium ratio (which increases hardness, abrasion resistance, the shine and durability) and nickel (which gives strength and impact resistance).
As a guarantee of this, the CM company has, for its products, the mark which distinguishes the material “stainless steel” according to the definition of the EN 10020 standard.
This mark is issued by Centro Inox Servizi S.r.l., a company a subsidiary of Centro Inox (Italian Association for the Study and Development of Stainless Steel Applications).
One of the main characteristics of stainless steel is its resistance to corrosion and rust, thanks to the so-called “passive layer,” a thin film transparent and protective layer consisting of only a few atoms of alloying elements. The passive layer, if scratched or nicked, immediately self-heals on contact with oxygen contained in water or air, protecting the underlying material from corrosive attack.
