Standard Widths: 1000 mm | 1219 mm (48″) | 1250 mm | 1500 mm | 1800 mm | 2000 mm
Length: Custom cut-to-length processing available based on your precise manufacturing needs.
The 2B finish is the globally recognized industry standard for premium cold-rolled stainless steel, renowned for its versatility and uniform appearance. At BOMIS Steel, our 2B finish is achieved through a meticulous process of precision cold rolling, heat treatment (annealing), pickling, and a final light skin pass. 1mm Aluminium Sheet
This rigorous manufacturing process yields a flawlessly smooth, moderately reflective, and exceptionally flat surface. Beyond its clean aesthetic, our 2B finished steel maximizes the material’s natural corrosion resistance, ensures effortless maintenance, and delivers outstanding machinability for your downstream forming and fabrication processes.

Q1: What is the visual difference between a 2B finish and a BA (Bright Annealed) finish?
A: The 2B finish provides a smooth, moderately reflective, “cloudy mirror” appearance, making it the most versatile and widely used industrial standard. In contrast, the BA finish is processed in a controlled atmosphere to achieve a highly reflective, mirror-like surface. For most structural, chemical, and food-processing equipment, 2B is the optimal and most cost-effective choice.
Q2: Does BOMIS Steel provide surface protective film for 2B coils and sheets?
A: Yes. To ensure the pristine condition of the 2B surface during ocean transit and your downstream fabrication, we offer customized protective film options. You can specify standard PE/PVC films (such as black/white, transparent, or blue film) with varying adhesion levels based on your stamping or bending requirements.
Q3: Can your 2B finished stainless steel be directly used for food processing equipment?
A: Absolutely. When manufactured in food-grade alloys like AISI 304 or 316L, our 2B finish is highly sanitary. Its smooth, non-porous surface prevents bacterial accumulation and is incredibly easy to clean, making it strictly compliant with catering and medical industry standards.
Q4: Can I request custom cut-to-length sheets instead of full coils?
A: Yes, we operate advanced in-house precision processing lines. Whether you need standard coils, precision-slit strips, or custom cut-to-length sheets, we process the material to your exact dimensional tolerances to minimize your manufacturing waste.
