industrial-grade

Built for factories

Industrial-grade describes something built to withstand heavy, continuous use in commercial or manufacturing settings—stronger, more durable, or more concentrated than consumer versions: industrial-grade cleaning solvents, industrial-grade steel.

Figuratively, it emphasizes extreme intensity or seriousness: industrial-grade stupidity, industrial-grade anxiety.
