   No (or very little) if used correctly. The nylon blade is specially designed to be less aggressive than metal blades, allowing for non-marking scraping of smooth or coated surfaces.
2. Up to what temperature can it be used?
   For continuous use, the blade can withstand ~175°C, but it is recommended to limit use on hot surfaces to approximately 2 minutes maximum, to avoid warping or deterioration.
3. Can it be autoclaved?
   Yes, it can be autoclaved up to ~121°C, making it compatible with common sterilization cycles in the industry.
4. What are the different colors used for?
   The colors (blue, green, red, white, yellow) are used for zoning management and to prevent cross-contamination in sensitive environments (e.g. preparation areas, sanitary areas, etc.)
5. How long does the scraper last?
   The lifespan depends on usage (frequency, surface, conditions). In intensive use, it is necessary to monitor the wear of the blade and replace it as soon as performance decreases.
6. Is it suitable for food contact?
   Yes: the materials are approved for contact with food (compliant with FDA, CE, etc. standards).
7. What is its exact size?
   The blade is 100 mm wide. According to some specifications, the overall dimensions may be ~235 × 20 × 100 mm (total length).
