316 Stainless Steel Shim - 6" x 50" Roll

Precision Brand® 316 Stainless Steel Shim is made from a soft (annealed) temper material, ensuring excellent formability and superior corrosion resistance. The addition of 2.0 to 3.0% molybdenum in Type 316 stainless steel makes it highly resistant to chemicals, salts, acids, and marine environments, ensuring it performs well even in the harshest conditions.

Key Features:

• Superior Corrosion Resistance – With its molybdenum content, Type 316 stainless steel is ideal for corrosive environments such as acidic, saltwater, and chloride-rich settings.
• Enhanced Durability – Offers outstanding protection for industries requiring long-term performance in harsh conditions, such as chemical, pharmaceutical, and marine environments.
• Traceable Shim – As a Branded® Shim, each piece is clearly marked with its material type, thickness, and lot number for full traceability and easy identification.
• Dimensions – 6″ wide by 50″ long, available in various thicknesses to suit a wide range of applications.

Common Applications:

• Chemical Processing Equipment – Ideal for environments with harsh chemicals and corrosive substances due to its superior chemical resistance.
• Food and Beverage Processing – Perfect for hygienic environments in the food and pharmaceutical industries, where resistance to contaminants and easy cleaning are essential.
• Marine and Offshore Equipment – Excellent in saltwater and marine atmospheres, providing corrosion protection for offshore and coastal applications.
• Textile and Photographic Equipment – Widely used in textile finishing and photographic processing equipment due to its resistance to chemicals and high durability.

Fabrication and Handling:

• Type 316 Stainless Steel has similar fabrication characteristics to Type 302 and Type 304, meaning it can be easily punched, sheared, or stamped with standard tools.
• The soft (annealed) temper allows for easy bending, forming, and shaping, making it suitable for use in gaskets and sealing applications.
