STEEL IT anti-rust stainless steel coatings feature a 316L stainless steel leafing pigment which creates a metallic barrier that resists chipping, peeling, and corrosion. Suitable for shelving and machinery where there is prolonged exposure to acids, alkalis, detergents, moisture, or salt water, it provides a durable and attractive metallic gray satin finish. The easy to apply coatings are available in polyurethane, epoxy, and low VOC formulations. Capable of producing a finish that can last up to 10 years, depending upon the version and environment, typical uses for these USDA-approved coatings involve situations where 100 percent stainless steel fabrications are impractical.
