Best for

Food, medical and pharmaceutical equipment
Marine and offshore enclosures
Hazardous or wash-down environments
Certified industrial controllers (IP65+ housings)

Available finishes

Standard
As-machined surface — the cheapest option, suitable for internal or hidden enclosures where appearance isn't critical.
Matte
Even, low-glare finish that hides minor handling marks. The most-requested look for industrial controllers.
Glossy
Polished, light-reflecting finish. Use for consumer-facing products where the enclosure is part of the design.
EMC coating (internal)
Conductive paint applied to internal faces — turns a non-shielding enclosure into a faraday cage. Stackable with any material and finish.

Worth knowing

316 grade is available on request for chlorinated or marine environments
