The Polished finish has an unidirectional brushed appearance that does not vary significantly with thickness, but which may vary slightly from coil to coil, and may vary significantly among different suppliers. Manufacture Conventional polished finishes are produced by directionally abrading the metal surface. The polishing operation may be done with or without lubricants.
Techniques vary widely within the metal finishing industry.
A polished finish is suggested for medium and heavy gauge applications where one prime side is desired. Polished material can be formed, but some degradation of the finish pattern in highly deformed areas is likely. When visual matching between panels is of concern, this performance requirement should be discussed with our product development personnel. Typical End Uses Chemical and food processing equipment, tanks, restaurant and kitchen equipment, appliance and industrial cabinets, architectural products.
