Material Composition | High-traffic commercial kitchens | - Industry Standard: Stainless Steel (ASTM A240 Grade 304, 1.2mm) (resists corrosion) - Our Base: Plastic (Polypropylene, ASTM D3982, 2mm) (lightweight) - Our Advanced: Reinforced Plastic (Polypropylene + fiberglass, ASTM D790 15,000 psi) ▲1 (enhanced strength) | Advanced balances durability and weight; Base is cost-effective and lightweight | Base may degrade with harsh chemicals; Advanced still lighter than industry standard |
Finish Quality | Restaurants with frequent cleaning | - Industry Standard: Brushed Stainless Steel (ASTM B117: 1000hrs salt spray) (long-lasting) - Our Base: Chrome Electroplated (ASTM B117: 720hrs) (budget-friendly) - Our Advanced: Brushed Stainless Steel (ASTM B117: 1000hrs) ▲2 (matches industry durability) | Advanced matches industry in corrosion resistance; Base cheaper upfront | Base may peel over time; Advanced requires more maintenance |
Noise Reduction | Quiet residential kitchens | - Industry Standard: 40 dBA (ISO 3095) (similar to a whisper) - Our Base: 45 dBA (comparable to a quiet fan) - Our Advanced: 38 dBA ▲1 (quieter than industry) | Advanced quieter than industry standard; Base suitable for noisy environments | Base may be too loud for quiet settings |
Chemical Resistance | Labs or industrial kitchens | - Industry Standard: Withstands 50+ chemicals (ASTM D543) (harsh solvents) - Our Base: 20 chemicals (ASTM D543) (common cleaners) - Our Advanced: 45 chemicals ▲1 (improved over Base) | Advanced improves resistance over Base; Base adequate for basic use | Both versions fall short of industry standard for extreme chemicals |
Weight/Thickness | Portable or lightweight setups | - Industry Standard: 300g (1.2mm) (heavy-duty) - Our Base: 150g (2mm plastic) (ultra-light) - Our Advanced: 200g (1.5mm reinforced) ▲1 (balanced weight/strength) | Base is ultra-light; Advanced offers better strength-to-weight ratio | Base may feel flimsy under heavy use; Advanced still lighter than industry |
Sealing Efficiency | Leak-sensitive environments | - Industry Standard: 99% (ISO 2503) (no drips) - Our Base: 95% (ASTM F1670) (minor leaks possible) - Our Advanced: 98% ▲1 (near-industry performance) | Advanced nears industry sealing; Base adequate for basic use | Base may allow minor leaks over time; Advanced still not perfect |
