Castell Iso-lok has introduced what is believed to be the world's first 100% stainless steel padlock.

Designed specifically for use in hostile environments where there is a high possibility of corrosion, such as in chemical and pharmaceutical applications and marine environments, the padlock is also ideal for use in applications such as food processing, where a high level of hygiene is required.

All components of the padlock, including the unique, patented locking mechanism, which features no springs, are made from Grade 316 stainless steel and are guaranteed against corrosion.

The padlock bodies are 35mm high.

They are available in three different shackle widths of 5, 6 and 8mm, and two different shackle heights of 20mm and 50mm.

For added security, the key remains captive when the shackle is open.

Other products in the Castell Iso-lok range include multi-clasps and valve covers.
