Chemical & Process

The chemical and process industries are continually seeking new advanced materials to help extend the life of critical components.

Sialons and silicon nitride play an important role in this regard due to their excellent resistance to chemical corrosion and erosion at high temperatures.

• Seals

  

  Mechanical seals made from Syalon 101 improve reliability and performance when fluids are being pumped. Syalon 101 has excellent wear resistance and corrosion resistance and can operate effectively in a wide range of environments.

• Impellers

  

  Syalon 101 impellers have been developed for an application in which hot sulphuric acid is being mixed. Syalon 101 has excellent corrosion resistance in many acids and alkalis and outperforms conventional materials, such as metals, many times over.

• Tubes

  

  International Syalons manufacture a wide range of Syalon tubes which are used to transport often very corrosive chemicals. For example, Syalon 101 has been used in place of inconel tubes, to extend the life of a chemical reactor.

The above examples are just a small selection of possible applications of Syalon in the chemical and process industries. Please contact us with your enquiry or to discuss your application further. Alternatively download our Chemical & Process Applications PDF.
