Stainless Steel Options Engineered for Performance & Cleanability
Most of the Furnishings we offer are available using 304 or 316L Stainless Steel. For more information on the pros and cons of 304 versus 316L Stainless Steel click here to download the Application Note #3
Stainless Steel finishes are available with mechanical polishing or electropolishing.
Advantages of electropolishing over mechanical polishing include:
- Improved corrosion resistance
- Improved surface smoothness
- Improved surface reflectivity, brightness and appearance
- Hygienically clean surface (resistance to bacteria growth)
- Easier cleaning
- Fewer particles on surface – electropolishing is not a surface coating, and therefore poses no risk of surface distortion or peeling over time
- Easier polishing and passivating of areas that are inaccessible to mechanical polishing
