Stainless Steel Finishes
Stainless Steel Alloy: Flat Cut Steel uses alloy C304 which offers good cutting, welding and corrosion resistance.
Note: All stainless steel letters and logos are shipped without clear polyurethane coating. Alloy C304 will not tarnish under almost any condition. However, like all flat cut metals products, if exposed to rain, sprinkler systems or other high moisture areas, mineral buildup may occur on the surface of the letters or logos. Using harsh chemicals may cause permanent damage to the material's surface. Architectural Bronze recommends warm soapy water.
