Stainless steel

is an alloy steel with a high chrome content.
Chrome helps to create a surface oxide film which protects metal and immediately forms
in case of chemical or mechanical damage.
BETA has relied on this unique peculiarity to develop the BETA INOX range of tools,
which provide high resistance to corrosion and can be subjected to sterilization.
.

critical environments - that is, in areas where the minimum level

The BETA INOX tools can be used in
of contamination is not permitted.
Some examples are:
• Pharmaceutical production
• Nuclear applications
• Offshore applications • Biotechnological and biomedical laboratories
• Food industry.

Furthermore, the BETA INOX tools avoid
formation.
Whenever any tools other than those made of stainless steel are used on stainless steel screws, nuts or surfaces,
a few particles may come off the tools, thereby triggering corrosion. This often results in aesthetic problems and,
sometimes, in structural problems as well.
Using stainless steel tools completely prevents polluting particles from spreading.
Examples of applications are:
• Building
• Shipyards
• Solar systems
• Car industry

Characteristics

Accurate selection of the materials1 and the expert quest for the best heat treatment provide the BETA INOX tools
with mechanical characteristics which far exceed the standards and are comparable to those of the other
BETA tools.
These tools share the same ergonomic properties and design as the other BETA tools, which have been known to,
and appreciated by, professional users for over 75 years.
Stainless steel is 100% recyclable, which is also a major plus.
