Cladding and jacketing
Stainless Steel Sheet
Protective metal jacketing for critical service (2B / matt / mirror)
Stainless steel sheet is chosen for insulation jacketing where corrosion resistance, durability and a clean finished surface are important. Different stainless grades suit different service environments, including chloride exposure and chemically aggressive conditions.
- SS 304 / 304L / 304H304 series
- SS 316 / 316L316 series
- High corrosion resistanceKey benefit
Ex-stock at Vatva GIDC (Ahmedabad) and Jetpar Road (Morbi). The datasheet and test certificates come with every dispatch.

Why specify Stainless Steel Sheet
6 reasons it earns its place on site.
Higher melting point than aluminium
Stays in place longer during fire exposure
Durable and clean finished surface
Protects insulation from corrosive fumes and leaks in chemical plants
Available in multiple grades to suit the environment
Low maintenance with good staining resistance

Questions, answered.
The ones we get most about Stainless Steel Sheet. Anything else? Ask on WhatsApp and an estimator will reply.
Where is Stainless Steel Sheet used?
Typical uses: outer jacketing for insulated piping and equipment; chemical plants and corrosive industrial areas; applications that need a durable finished metal surface; fire sensitive locations where a higher melting point is preferred.
Can SGPL supply and install Stainless Steel Sheet?
Yes. We supply it on its own, or our own crews install it as part of our insulation cladding and finishing, hot insulation and cold insulation work. That starts with a site visit and a written specification, and ends with a joint measurement at handover.
Is Stainless Steel Sheet in stock, and do you send a datasheet?
We hold Stainless Steel Sheet at our Vatva GIDC (Ahmedabad) and Morbi stockyards. You can download the datasheet on this page, and we can send the test certificate with the dispatch. Send your enquiry before 4 pm and you will usually hear back the same working day.
