Question 1

Which stainless steel grades does Parin Steels use?

Accepted Answer

Our catalogue covers SS 201, SS 202, SS 304 and SS 316. SS 202 is used for most everyday plates, topes, saucepans and containers; SS 304 is offered for food-grade plates and containers; SS 316 is used for premium canisters that need the highest corrosion resistance.

Question 2

What is the difference between SS 202 and SS 304 kitchenware?

Accepted Answer

SS 304 contains roughly 18% chromium and 8% nickel, giving better resistance to rust, salt and acidic foods, and it is the grade most often specified by European and North American importers. SS 202 replaces part of the nickel with manganese, offering a bright polish at a lower cost and suiting dry storage and general serving use.
