❓ 1. What is etched stainless steel?

Etched stainless steel is produced by using a chemical etching process to create permanent patterns or textures on the surface of stainless steel sheets. It can be combined with mirror, hairline, or colored finishes for enhanced decoration.

❓ 2. Will the pattern wear off or peel?

No. The pattern is chemically etched into the metal surface, not printed or coated, so it will not peel off. With proper care, it maintains its appearance for a long time.

❓ 3. Can etched stainless steel be colored?

Yes. It is commonly combined with PVD coating to achieve colors such as:

• Gold / Champagne
• Rose Gold
• Black / Titanium Black
• Bronze / Customized colors

• Processing is best done before PVD coloring
• Use protective film to avoid scratches
• Avoid heavy welding after coloring to prevent surface damage

❓ 8. Is it fingerprint-resistant?
