Acid Etched Data Plates
Our stainless steel acid etched data plates are designed to excel in durability and longevity, embodying the renowned characteristics of this hard-wearing metal. Built to endure harsh environments and challenging conditions, these plates exhibit exceptional resistance to corrosion, rust, and fading, allowing them to maintain their integrity over time. And when it comes to engraving, a superior option is to use the acid etch or chemical engraving technique, one of the professional stainless steel engraving solutions we offer here at Impact Signs.
Acid etching is a specialised technique that surpasses conventional methods like laser marking or dot peening. It involves the use of chemicals to create precise and intricate designs on metals, particularly stainless steel. This process ensures deep and well-defined engravings that are resistant to fading, rubbing off, or deterioration over time.
Engraving stainless steel requires a meticulous approach to achieve exceptional results. The acid etch techniques we use to create our stainless steel data plates, uses state-of-the-art fibre lasers, which provide unmatched precision and clarity. The controlled depth and consistency of the engraving ensure legibility and longevity, even in demanding environments.

Colour Swatches
Stainless steel is either satin (brushed finish) or highly polished (like chrome). When laser etched the etching is always black. However if the panels are acid etched or rotary engraved then the engraving can be infilled with a primary paint colour.
Disclaimer: Although every effort has been made to display the colour swatches shown as true, all monitors are not consistent in colour representation, the swatches therefore should be taken only as a guide!
