So, we're going to talk about stainless steel in a food processing environment in a high wash-down area today. Stainless steel is the best material you can use for a wall surface or over a caustic wash-down area. And we've had multiple experiences in the food processing field with the stainless steel finishes. I have seen the painted finishes wear off, break down to the G90, the galvanized base sheet that's on a typical cold storage panel. And the caustics can be extremely corrosive and cause damage to the paint finishes over a period of time.
