Supply Forms

Inner and outer diameter

Inner Diameter: 300、400、500（Customized according to the customer's machine size）

Outer diameter: The outer diameter range is determined based on the width of the material required by the customer and the maximum weight of a single trailer.

( Note: The weight of a single trailer generally does not exceed 2 tons to ensure that the goods will not be damaged during transportation and moving.)

Surface

DSM offers a variety of different surface treatments for stainless steel plates. There are1U, 1C, 1D, 1E, 2B, BA, No.4, TR, HL etc.

Edge

The edge of the steel strip is trimmed, and the burr height is 10% mm. If there are special requirements for the edge, it can be scraped.

Label

The label on each pallet shows the relevant material information, including coil number, steel type, size, net weight, etc.; it is convenient for customers to count the goods.

Packaging Directions

DSM has a professional team and adopts a variety of packaging standards to ensure that the products arrive at the customer's warehouse intact. After packaging, the product looks neat and beautiful, and it can also prevent rust, moisture, dust, pressure, collision, and scratches.
