Key Characteristics of Grade 304 Flat Bar
- Universal Corrosion Resistance: Excellent durability in atmospheric conditions and highly resistant to a wide range of organic and inorganic chemicals.

- Food & Hygienic Grade: The non-porous surface is easy to sterilise, making it the premier choice for the catering and medical industries.
- Easy to Fabricate: Despite its strength, it can be cold-worked, machined, and formed with relative ease.
- Aesthetic Versatility: Available in hot-rolled (descaled) or cold-drawn finishes, it can be polished to a high-quality brushed or mirror look.
