Coastal Products

The MAX6 Nanocoast range of products are specifically designed for areas which are within a 25 mile radius of the coast, or within 5 miles of highly populated industrial areas. Made from 316 grade stainless steel, each product in the range has been salt spray tested to ASTM B117 for 2,000 hours, and comes with an industry first LIFETIME coating guarantee, as the products will not pit, rust or corrode no matter what environments you put them in.

Why Have We Used 316 Grade Stainless Steel?

We believe 316 grade stainless steel is the perfect grade of stainless steel to use at the coast for the cost price versus performance of the products. 316 grade is an austenitic stainless steel, containing 18% chromium and 10% nickel, and also a low carbon content. Due to this it has an excellent corrosion resistance in a wide variety of environments, and has good resistance to oxidation. The nickel content is what makes it resistant against rusting, and it contains more nickel than 304 grade stainless steel, making it even more effective against corrosion compared to 304 grade stainless steel.

Downgrading the stainless steel quality to a 200 series grade stainless steel, means that even though they have similar mechanical and physical properties to the 316 grade, there is decreased nickel content. The nickel is replaced by manganese which results in weak corrosion resistance, and
high carbon content leaves the stainless steel susceptible to stress corrosion cracking.
