316 Stainless Steel Container Market Trends
This section covers the major market trends shaping the 316 Stainless Steel Container Market according to our research experts:
The Pharmaceutical Sector is Anticipated to Hold a Major Share
- Stainless steel 316 and 316L are utilized to build equipment that directly touches pharmaceutical products, such as water system tanks. These grades have excellent stain resistance.
- 316 has 2% molybdenum; adding molybdenum to grade 316 improves corrosion and pitting resistance. The inclusion of molybdenum improves the strength and increases the durability of 316L stainless steel, allowing it to survive higher degrees of corrosion and the impacts of substances such as chlorides (found in salt, ocean, sweat, etc.) and acids.
- 316L stainless containers with lids are appropriate for powders, creams, and liquids in the pharmaceutical industry. Stainless containers (1 to 30 Liters) are utilized in various pharmaceutical applications such as storage, processing, and others.
- Some 316 stainless steel containers used in the pharmaceutical sector are closed-head drums (10 - 200 liters), large pharmaceutical ladles, open medicine ladles, and more. Stainless steel storage drums 316L are durable shovels ideal for storing and handling powders and liquids.
