Syalon 101 resists corrosion during acid stirring

An International Syalons (Newcastle) product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Jan 23, 2009

International Syalons manufactures ceramic impellers for use in the chemical and process industries.

They are often used for mixing or stirring highly corrosive chemicals and abrasive slurries.

Traditionally, impellers have been made from metal or plastic-coated metals.

These suffer badly from wear, thus contaminating the chemical, which in clean environments is unacceptable.

Also, corrosion, particularly for metallic impellers, also contaminates the chemical.

This wear and corrosion results in often short lifetimes for these impellers.

Ceramic impellers from International Syalons can solve these problems.

Syalon 101 is a ceramic that possesses excellent corrosion resistance and wear resistance.

For example, Syalon 101 is resistant to corrosion by many acids, such as boiling hydrochloric and sulphuric acid, and alkaline materials, such as sodium hydroxide.

This chemical stability, combined with high strength, hardness and toughness make Syalon 101 an ideal material for many demanding chemical applications.
