Syalon tubes can transport corrosive chemicals

An International Syalons (Newcastle) product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Feb 11, 2009

International Syalons manufactures Syalon tubes, which the company claims last significantly longer than inconel.

Ceramic tubes are typically used in applications where resistance to corrosion is a requirement.

Sialons are alloys of silicon nitride and are characterised by excellent thermal stability and are corrosion resistant to many chemicals and metals, making them ideal for these applications.

In non-ferrous molten metal handling, the use of Syalon thermocouple protection sheaths and heater and riser tubes demonstrate the material's excellent thermal and chemical behaviour.

Syalon 101 and Syalon 050 have resistance to chemical attack by both acids and alkalis, such as hydrochloric acid, sulphuric acid and sodium hydroxide, alongside gases and molten metals.

Syalon 101 is suited to applications below 1,200C, while Syalon 050 performs well up to 1,400C.
