What is Tea Staining?
Stainless steel enjoys a strong and enduring reputation for long term appearance and structural integrity. But like all materials, stainless steel can become stained or discoloured over time, impairing the overall look. This brown discolouration otherwise known as tea staining, has been identified in coastal applications in Australia and overseas. Tea staining is not rust as it is only cosmetic, it doesn’t change the properties or integrity of the stainless steel.
