Is Starsan corrosive

I've a horrbile mark appear on my kitchen worktop, looks like a chemical spill.
The only thing I could attribute this to would be Starsan from 10 days ago.

Is Starsan corrosive, and if so, is it so much more than bleach etc.
Bleach would never do, whatever this is.

I appreciate that but would it burn through the Nostromo's hull?
