Stainless steel sheet and strip for trowels
Stainless steel trowels, spatulas and floats.
Trowels and building tools
Stainless steel site tools stay clean, do not rust and keep the blade’s elasticity. The strip is blanked, shaped and polished.
Trowels, spatulas and floats must flex without permanent deformation and stay smooth after polishing. That is why work-hardened 2H strip is used, giving the blade elasticity and wear resistance. 3S supplies strip and sheets with consistent thicknesses, good flatness and EN or ASTM tolerances verified by 100% dimensional control, in widths up to 1250 mm to blank large blades with little scrap. Material can be supplied as strip, in cut lengths or as sheets cut to size, depending on your blanking and shaping process. Strip from 3 mm wide is also available for smaller tools and accessories.
