Product range
Stainless steel is chosen for corrosion resistance, hygiene and appearance in food processing, water treatment, desalination, oil and gas, architecture and kitchens. Picking the right grade for chloride exposure matters a great deal in Saudi Arabia's coastal and industrial environments.
We take enquiries for austenitic, ferritic and duplex grades across flat, long and tubular products, with finishes and certification to suit the application.

Selection guidance
316/316L contains molybdenum and resists chloride pitting far better than 304. For coastal, splash-zone or saline-water exposure, 316L or duplex is usually the safer choice.
Low-carbon 304L and 316L reduce sensitisation and intergranular corrosion at welds.
Carbon steel contamination causes rust spots on stainless. Store and fabricate stainless separately and passivate after welding.
