Stainless steel is an excellent material to use in areas where corrosion may be a problem
If severe corrosion is a particular concern, we recommend the 316 grade versions, where the addition of 2 per cent molybdenum offers significantly greater protection. It offers good impact protection and IP66 environmental sealing.
Our stainless-steel enclosures offer
- Corrosion resistance for installation in aggressive environments.
- Suitable for use in high temperature environments (some grades > 500°C) and is resistant to oxidation.
- Non-porous and easy to clean, stainless steel enclosures are ideal for use in medical, food, and beverage applications.
- Availability in various finishes.
- 100 per cent recycling capability.
Key features of the EJSS family
Our EJSS family is available in a natural smooth brushed finish in 304 or 316 grade stainless steel. Sealed to IP66, it designed for use as an instrument enclosure, an electric, hydraulic or pneumatic control housing, electrical junction box or terminal wiring enclosure in applications such as food processing where it may be hosed down for cleaning. It is also suitable for indoor or outdoor installation where protection against water and dust is required.
