In the fast-paced modern life, dishwashers will free us from the tedious work of washing dishes, let the kitchen time more a leisurely and comfortable. However, stainless steel, plastic, enamel coating, these three kinds of material has its own advantages, like three different styles of dancers, in the kitchen stage to start a fierce competition. Who Can, with outstanding performance, become the king in the field of kitchen cleaning, bring us a better kitchen experience? Let's find out.

1、Corrosion resistance

The kitchen environment is complex and volatile, and the chemicals in the grease, steam, and detergents are an invisible army of corrosion that attacks the dishwasher liners.

(1). stainless steel liner

The stainless steel liner, with its steady chemical property, is the constant victor in this battle. 304 stainless steel already has good corrosion resistance, and 316L stainless steel is one of the best. It contains molybdenum, which further increases resistance to corrosive substances such as chloride ions, even in a humid, salty environment, can also maintain long-term stability, not easy to rust.

(2). plastic liner

Although plastic liner can also resist corrosion to a certain extent, but in long-term contact with high-temperature detergent or hard water, its performance will gradually decline. High temperature will make the plastic molecular structure changes, leading to aging, brittle, and even the release of trace harmful substances.

(3). enamel coated inner liner

Enamel coating tank if the coating is intact, can effectively isolate the metal substrate and external corrosive substances in contact, play a good protective role. However, once the coating is damaged, the metal substrate will be exposed to the outside, becoming a serious area of corrosion, internal vulnerable to erosion, loss of the original protection ability.

2、high temperature resistance

Different materials of the inner liner in the face of high temperature has different performance.

(1). stainless steel liner

Stainless steel liner is a loyal partner of high temperature, it can easily withstand more than 100 °C high temperature, even in the oven and other high temperature environment, provide reliable disinfection protection for tableware.

(2). plastic liner

The plastic inner liner is unable to cope with the high temperature. The temperature resistance range of most PP materials is about 80 °C. when encountering high temperature disinfection mode, it is easy to deform and soften, and even release peculiar smell, which affects the hygiene and use experience of tableware.

(3). enamel coated inner liner

However, if the temperature is too high or the hot and cold changes are too drastic, the coating may fall off, affecting the beauty and service life of the tank.

3、Mechanical strength and durability

In daily use, the frequent opening and closing action of dishwasher and the collision with tableware pose a severe challenge to the mechanical strength and durability of the liner.

(1). stainless steel liner

Stainless steel liner with high hardness and excellent impact resistance. Even if the pots and pans and other hard things“Close contact”, will only leave a shallow traces, will not affect its overall performance.

(2). plastic liner

Plastic liner is relatively fragile, easily scratched by hard objects. Over time, but also because of aging and become brittle, cracking. Therefore, they need to be used and maintained with greater care or their useful life will be greatly shortened.

(3). enamel coated inner liner

The metal substrate of the enamel coating tank has a certain strength, but the coating is relatively fragile, and the porcelain is easy to fall off after collision, which not only affects the beauty, but also may reduce its protective performance and shorten the service life.

4、cleaning effect

The core mission of the dishwasher is to clean the tableware, and the material of the liner directly affects the convenience and effect of cleaning.

(1). stainless steel liner

The surface of the stainless steel liner is smooth as a mirror, and the oil stain is difficult to adhere to it. Just a light flush with water, you can restore clean and tidy, ready for the next cleaning task.

(2). plastic liner

The surface of the plastic liner is easy to absorb oil, and if it is not thoroughly dried after cleaning, it may also produce moldy odor. Need to spend more time and energy for cleaning and maintenance, inconvenience to the user.

(3). enamel coated inner liner

Cleaning the enamel coated liner is relatively easy, but if the coating is damaged, dirt can easily hide in the damaged area, increasing the difficulty of cleaning and requiring the user to handle more carefully.

Conclusion

The choice of dishwasher liner material, is not a simple“Two choose one” or“Three choose one”, but the quality of life and practical value of the depth of consideration. Solid and durable stainless steel, affordable plastic, enamel coating beautiful and unique, each material is carrying a different life expectancy. Choose the right liner, as for the kitchen life to choose a right-hand man, so that cleaning becomes easy and efficient, let the kitchen become a warm harbor.
