The bicycle stand is made from surface-treated, powder-coated steel.
Stainless steel
Stainless steel is an iron alloy with at least 10.5% chromium that often has good resistance to corrosion (rust) and other chemical attacks. A common misconception about stainless steel is that it does not rust at all; it can in fact corrode, especially in environments near the sea with high humidity.
Powder coating
Powder coating is a coating that is applied as a free-flowing, dry powder. Unlike conventional liquid paint, powder coating is usually applied electrostatically and then cured under heat or with ultraviolet light. The result is an even, hard-wearing coloured surface with the desired gloss level.
