Stainless steel mirrors

Uses of stainless steel mirrors

Mirrors made from uncoated stainless steel (or Inox) are extremely versatile with uses in many industries such as pharmaceutical, brewing, medical and nuclear. The corrosion resistance of stainless steel is perfect for use in outdoor applications and in humid or dusty conditions.

The hard polished mirror surface can be used as a reference for other optics or equipment to be mounted on. Stainless can be CNC machined or ground to great accuracy before polishing.
