Add This Service to Your Steel Orders
Summertime is when lines speed up, trucks roll out earlier, and material has to arrive looking exactly the way it left the mill. Here at Atlas Steel, we know summer production season doesn’t leave much room for error in your ordered steel products.
In this month’s blog, we’re highlighting PVC coating and paper interleaving, a simple underrated way to protect stainless steel aluminized surfaces while your coils, sheets, or blanks move through shipping, staging, and the shop floor.
Surface Protection That Saves Time
If your operation depends on appearance, tight tolerances, or clean contact surfaces, protecting the finish matters. Atlas Steel can provide paper interleaving and top-side PVC coating for surface protection, and we can also PVC coat both top and bottom sides on our precision blanking line when critical applications need it.
That matters in the real world because summer tends to bring more handling: more deliveries, more jobsite staging, and more chances for light scuffs to become “why is this scratched?” conversations.
When to Use PVC Coating or Paper Interleaving Makes Sense
Not every order needs extra protection, but if you’re making components where surface quality shows up in the final product, it’s a smart add-on. Here are a few situations where customers commonly ask for it:
- Visible stainless steel parts where cosmetics matter
- Material that will be staged, stacked, or moved multiple times before fabrication
- Projects with tight deadlines where rework or re-polishing would be a schedule killer
- Long-distance shipping where vibration can cause rub marks
