316 Stainless Steel Shim - 150mm x 1.25m Roll

Precision Brand® 316 Stainless Steel Shim is made from soft (annealed) temper material, providing exceptional formability and corrosion resistance. Type 316 stainless steel contains 2.0 to 3.0% molybdenum, which significantly enhances its resistance to most chemicals, salts, acids, and marine environments.

Key Features:

• Corrosion Resistance – Offers superior protection in harsh environments, including acidic and chloride-rich settings.
• Versatile – Ideal for chemical, food processing, pharmaceutical, and marine applications where high corrosion resistance is critical.
• Traceable Shim – Branded® shim ensures full traceability with clear markings for material type, thickness, and lot number on the shim itself.
• Dimensions: 150mm wide by 1.25m long, available in a range of thicknesses.
• Material Type: Type 316 stainless steel, which provides increased resistance to corrosion compared to Type 302 and Type 304 stainless steels.

Common Applications:

• Chemical processing equipment – Widely used in environments with strong acids, bases, or chlorides, offering extended service life.
• Food and beverage processing – Excellent for hygienic environments where resistance to corrosion and ease of cleaning are required.
• Pharmaceutical manufacturing – Used in sensitive pharmaceutical equipment due to its non-reactive properties.
• Marine environments – Perfect for saltwater applications, including boats, offshore platforms, and coastal infrastructure.
• Textile finishing equipment – Used in dyeing, finishing, and weaving equipment that require resistant and durable materials.
• Photographic equipment – Ideal for processing equipment in the photographic industry due to its high resistance to chemical corrosion.

Fabrication and Handling:

• Fabrication characteristics of Type 316 stainless steel are similar to Type 302 and Type 304, meaning it can be easily punched, sheared, stamped, or formed with appropriate tools.
• Excellent for use in sealing and gasket applications due to its non-reactivity with most common industrial chemicals.
