Darkened areas, called “heat tint,” sometimes appear on stainless steel surfaces where the area has been
subjected to excessive heat. These darkened areas are caused by thickening of the protective surface of the
stainless steel and are not harmful. Heat tint can normally be removed by the above cleaning techniques, but
tint which does not respond to that procedure calls for a vigorous scouring in the direction of the polish lines,
using SCOTCH-BRITE scouring pads or a STAINLESS scouring pad in combination with a powered
cleanser. Heat tint action may be lessened by not applying, or by reducing, heat to equipment during slack
periods.
