From Raw Steel to Mirror Finish, We Perfect Every Detail
First impressions matter, and in stainless steel fabrication, that starts with the finish. At NSSC, we specialise in polishing, deburring, and surface finishing that transforms raw materials into refined, high-performance components.
Whether it’s aesthetics, hygiene, or performance on the line, our polishing services ensure your product looks as sharp as it functions.
What is Polishing and Surface Finishing?
Polishing is the mechanical process of smoothing and enhancing the surface of stainless steel to remove imperfections, oxidation, or weld marks. It’s followed by surface finishing, which achieves the desired texture, be it matte, brushed, satin, or mirror-like.
Deburring, on the other hand, removes sharp edges and residual material from fabrication processes like cutting or laser work, ensuring parts are safe, clean, and ready for use.
Why Surface Finish Matters
A great product isn’t just defined by its structure, it’s judged by its finish. Our surface enhancement services help:
- Improve appearance and reflectivity
- Increase corrosion resistance
- Remove contaminants, scale, and scratches
- Enhance cleanability (critical in food, medical, and pharma industries)
- Prevent bacterial build-up and improve hygiene compliance
- Remove burrs and rough edges that could damage equipment or injure personnel
With NSSC, you get flawless finishes, consistently, precisely, and at scale.
Our Polishing and Deburring Capabilities
We offer a wide range of finishing solutions tailored to your product’s design and application:
Mechanical Polishing
For achieving controlled textures, brushed, satin, or high-gloss, across sheets, plates, pipes, or custom components.
Grain Finishing (No. 4 or Scotch-Brite)
Directional polishing that improves visual uniformity, especially on visible components.
Deburring
Essential for safety and fit, our deburring process removes sharp edges and ensures smooth, ready-to-assemble parts.
Weld Finishing
Blending and smoothing welded joints to match surrounding metalwork seamlessly.
Protecting Polished Parts – PVC Film for Added Protection
At NSSC, we know that achieving a flawless finish is only part of the job, protecting that finish is just as important. That’s why we offer PVC film protection for polished stainless steel components that require additional fabrication processes such as bending, laser cutting, or forming. This durable, peel-off film shields the surface from scratches, scuffs, and handling marks, ensuring your parts maintain their pristine appearance right through to final assembly. If your project involves further processing after polishing, simply request PVC protection, it’s a smart safeguard for your surface investment.
