A Wide Variety of Colours and Finishes

All our products can be finished in different colours or finish from that listed, usually at very little extra cost. The information below provides guidance on the finishes most suitable for your application.

Mild Steel is a low cost, durable, strong engineering material ideal for manufacturing most laboratory wirework products.  To protect mild steel against corrosion we employ two alternative finishes.





















Stainless Steel can be used to make the most of our products, as well as those, such as wire gauzes, which use stainless steel as standard. It can survive long periods of high temperature, will resist most chemicals, will not tarnish even after many years of use and will clean relatively easily compared to plastic coatings.

Zinc plated mild steel is cheaper than stainless and has good resistance to moisture and high temperature including autoclaving. The coating, however, which has a similar appearance to stainless steel when new, assumes a dull grey colour as it ages. It can also be stripped off easily by acids, leaving the base metal subject to corrosion. We do not hold zinc plated items in stock, but can supply products zinc plated instead of plastic coated if required.
