STRONGER PERFORMANCE DELIVERED

Meet Supra 316plus® stainless steel, a cost-efficient alternative to 316L. Now certified for EN 10088.

The new generation of austenitic stainless steel: Supra 316plus®

Supra 316plus® austenitic stainless steel is designed for challenging conditions, such as highly corrosive or food hygiene environments and extreme temperatures. It’s effectively a re-engineered version of 316L (EN 1.4404) with a lower carbon footprint. Supra 316plus® is also a significantly more cost-efficient choice for customers switching from 316L.

Supra 316plus® is now certified for the EN 10088 standard. It can replace standard grades in many applications.
