International Appliance Manufacturing 2007

100 years’ experience and collective know-how, the company has the capability to produce strip in over 500 different steel grades. Because it has complete control over the material production process from the original alloy mixing to the continuous casting process, through to rolling and production of the finished strip, Sandvik Decorex is finished to the highest possible standards. A strict quality control system ensures thickness, straightness and flatness of the material is to extremely close tolerances, ensuring ease-of-use for the end-user. Scratch and fingerprint resistance All Sandvik Decorex surface finishes are scratch resistant and meet the toughest pencil hardness tests, according to ISO 15184 or ASTM D3363 standards. Surfaces are also fingerprint resistant. Even with the bright finish material, fingerprints can easily be removed with a simple wipe-over. Range availability At present, Sandvik Decorex is available in thicknesses up to 0.8mm and in strip widths up to 370mm and in a range of stainless steel material grades. It will be available in width up to 625mm, increasing to 800mm within two years offering manufacturers an even greater scope in terms of product selection and usage.
