Surfaces & Finishing: Function and Aesthetics for Your End Product.
The surface of stainless steel is crucial for function, feel, and corrosion resistance. We supply you not only with the right material, but also with the perfect surface – from metallic bright (2B/2R) to decoratively ground and brushed, to protective laser and deep-drawing foils. Function and aesthetics, perfectly combined for your end product.
Technical Specifications at a Glance
The following table shows an overview of the most common surface finishes according to DIN EN 10088-2 and coatings. Our complete delivery program (incl. all standards and thicknesses) can be found in the technical data sheet.

Type: Cold-rolled
2B (metallic blank, pickled), 2R (high-gloss/annealed), 2H (cold-hardened), 2E (mechanically descaled)
Industry standards (2B) or high-gloss visible surfaces (2R).
Type: Hot rolled
1D (pickled, scale-free), 1E (mechanically descaled)
The standard surface for thicker materials, ideal for further processing.
Type: Finishing
Ground (grit 80-800), Brushed, Double ground
Decorative surfaces for visible parts (e.g., kitchens, fireplaces) with a defined appearance.
Type: Surface protection
Protective films (laser film, deep drawing film), e.g. from renowned manufacturers such as Novacel and Nitto. Also paper interleave
Optimal protection of your components during further processing (deep drawing, laser cutting, bending).
Availability
On coils & strips, blanks, circles and stock formats.
You receive your product finished and refined and do not have to have it processed externally.
Detail Overview: Protective Films
Choosing the right film is crucial for a trouble-free manufacturing process. Whether for light bending, heavy deep drawing or precise laser cutting – we offer a wide range of protective films (PE and PVC) for every requirement.
In our detailed film overview, you will find all technical specifications, thicknesses (e.g. 55µ to 100µ), adhesive strengths and application areas of our standard films from manufacturers such as Novacel and Nitto.
