At CSF, we use AISI 304 Stainless Steel with a No. 4 finish due to its ideal properties fit for the food and beverage industry. A No. 4 finish is a brushed finish (also known as a satin finish) that has a uniform and directional grain pattern that creates a clean non-reflective appearance. AISI 304 is a steel alloy that has tremendous resistance to corrosion and rust due to an oxide layer created by high chromium (18%) and nickel (8%) content. This metal composition is non-reactive with a non-porous surface, meaning it prevents the material from transmitting any color, odor, or taste to products it encounters. Aside from having high temperature tolerance and durability, ASIS 304 follows regulatory standards and requirements needed for food contact materials (FDA and NSF International).
