Often these basins are made of corrosion-resistant steel ( X6Cr17 or 1.4016 ) or enamelled or powder coated sheet steel, stoneware, ceramics or plastics. Almost all sinks have overflow holes on the top edge to prevent accidental overflow of water. The underside is often noise dampened by a rubber or bitumen coating.
