Foodgrade Stainless Sheet

The first number is the percentage of chromium that is contained in the stainless steel.

Foodgrade stainless sheet.

304 stainless steel sheet is the most popular and economical of the stainless steels. Not only can food grade stainless steel stand up to punishing temperatures that would melt plastic the material s protective oxide layer helps prevent the formation of rust that could contaminate foodstuffs. For example 18 8 stainless steel is comprised of 18 chromium and 8 nickel. 304 food grade stainless is also used to make kitchen islands work tables sinks stove hoods and for a wide range of home and office decor from elevator doors to outlet covers.

Just call 1 888 334 2177 and we ll get you started on the backsplash of your dreams. For sanitary food handling applications stainless steel is a popular material choice. The chromium binds oxygen to the surface of the product to protect the iron from oxidation rust. You may also notice that products will say 18 8 18 10 18 0 beside the grade.

Our 430 stainless steel sheet metal meets the criteria for both the 3 and 4 finish. What makes the grade 316 alloy an ideal food grade steel sheet material is the fact that it has a high resistance to acids alkalis and chlorides such as salt. 304 grade stainless steel is also comprised of no more than 0 8 carbon and at least 50 iron. 430 stainless steel sheet 4 finish has a pvc film on one side to help protect against scratching during fabrication and installation.

It s best to dry these containers right after washing. Nickel also enhances the corrosion resistance of stainless steel. Brushed finishes run in horizontal patterns lines side to side unless you special order 1 888 334 2177. Plus custom shapes are also our specialty.

For example these special forms of stainless steel must be able to withstand acids alkalis and chlorides such as salt which is frequently introduced to a steel s surface during processing. Products made from this food grade generally have less nickel content and a lower resistance to corrosion and temperature. Other austenitic stainless steels such as grade 304 ss can experience severe pitting corrosion when exposed to salt which is often present in food products. 304 stainless sheet may become slightly magnetic when worked and is not heat treatable.
