What is the main difference between 304 and 316 stainless steel for utility sinks?

Both are high-quality, but 316 stainless steel​ contains molybdenum, giving it enhanced resistance to chlorides and harsh chemicals—making it ideal for laboratories, medical facilities, and coastal areas. 304 stainless steel​ is the industry standard for most commercial and residential utility applications (garages, laundry rooms), offering excellent durability and value. Our team can help you select the right grade based on your specific use case and budget.
