Is it Safe to Drink from Stainless Steel?
The Verdict: 100% Safe
When using 18/8 Food-Grade Stainless Steel, there are no known health risks. It is non-toxic, non-leaching, and chemically inert. It is the gold standard for safe hydration.
With concerns about microplastics and chemical leaching on the rise in the UAE, you need a bottle you can trust. Here is the detailed chemical breakdown of why our bottles are safe.
1. The BPA Concern
What is it? Bisphenol A (BPA) is an industrial chemical used to make certain plastics. It is a known endocrine disruptor that mimics hormones in the body.
The Steel Solution: Stainless steel is an alloy of iron, chromium, and nickel. It contains absolutely zero plastic. It is physically impossible for a steel bottle to leach BPA because it doesn't contain any.
Certified BPA Free
2. What Does "18/8" Mean?
Not all steel is safe. We use 304 Grade (18/8). This implies the percentage of two key elements that make the steel safe for food.
Chromium
This forms a passive layer of chromium oxide on the surface. This layer prevents rust and stops the iron from leaching into your water.
Nickel
Nickel gives the steel its strength and high polish. It ensures the bottle is durable and resistant to acidic corrosion (like fruit juices).
3. No Hidden Linings
Many cheap aluminum bottles are sprayed with a plastic/epoxy lining because raw aluminum reacts with water. This lining often contains BPA.
Stainless Steel requires NO LINING.
What you see is pure, polished metal. Safe, simple, and clean.
The Safety Scorecard
