Are all stainless steel bollard same

Stainless steel bollard mainly supply in two grades in Australia market, 304 and 316 grade stainless steel.

What is difference between 316 vs 304 stainless steel?

304 Stainless Steel consists of 18% chromium and 8% nickel. Stainless 316 is made up of 16% chromium, 10% nickel and 2% molybdenum. With the adding of molybdenum, 316 stainless has much higher corrosion resistant than the 304 but also cost higher to manufacturer.

Safety Sector only manufacture stainless steel bollard in 316 marine grade. We believe 304 stainless steel is not suitable for Australia outdoor environment.

When you looking for stainless steel bollard on your next purchase, make sure you compare apple to apple.
