Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the advantage of KEK stainless steel over standard lab furniture?
KEK uses high-purity stainless steel that is non-porous and naturally antibacterial. Unlike powder-coated or laminate furniture, it will not chip, peel, or harbor contaminants even after decades of intensive use.
2. Are KEK dispenser boxes suitable for Cleanroom Class ISO 5?
Yes, KEK's CLEAN.TEC range is specifically designed for technical rooms with stringent hygiene requirements, including high-grade cleanrooms used in semiconductor and pharmaceutical production.
3. Can I order KEK stainless steel worktops in custom sizes?
Absolutely. KEK is one of the largest manufacturers of worktops in Germany and specializes in individual food serving systems and laboratory work surfaces tailored to exact customer measurements.
4. How do I maintain the surface finish of KEK products?
To maintain the low surface roughness, it is recommended to use pH-neutral stainless steel cleaners and soft cloths. Avoid abrasive pads or chlorine-based bleaches that could compromise the protective passive layer of the steel.
