Stainless steel is created by combining steel, chrome and nickel, which is subjected to a special heat treatment.
Stainless steel is very durable and corrosion-resistant. Thanks to the high chromium and nickel content and a particularly good passive layer, stainless steel remains virtually rust-free. Stainless steel is also very temperature-resistant, so contact with the flame of the match is harmless.
Another advantage of stainless steel is its sterility. Its smooth surface makes it difficult for germs to collect. It can also be cleaned particularly well and thoroughly, which is why it is often used in hospitals or commercial kitchens.
All in all, stainless steel is a promising, sustainable raw material with many advantages. That's why keli kean® match extensions are also a much better alternative to conventional stick lighters made from microplastics, which pose a risk to the environment.
