Corrosion-resistant stainless steel for chemical and petrochemical
Extreme conditions demand a strong passive layer
In the chemical and petrochemical industry, installations are exposed to aggressive media and harsh conditions. Corrosion means maintenance, risk and a shorter service life.
Pickling has traditionally been used to passivate stainless steel, but it brings hazardous substances, permits and waste streams.
Longer service life, without pickling
ViwateQ removes impurities mechanically and lets the oxide layer regenerate naturally.
Corrosion resistance
A durable oxide layer protects the installation, without aggressive chemicals.
Tested
Corrosion resistance proven by the salt spray test.
Chemical residues
No substances left on the surface.
Service life
More value from your installation over its lifetime.
Applications in chemical and petrochemical
- Tanks and process vessels
- Process components and frames
- Housings and covers
- Large structures up to 12 x 4 x 4 metres
Questions from chemical and petrochemical
The mechanical process removes impurities and the old oxide layer. A new, durable oxide layer then forms through passivation.
Yes. ViwateQ is fully chemical-free, safer for operators and simpler for permits, with measurable technical guarantees.
In Geldermalsen we treat parts up to 12 x 4 x 4 metres.
Outsource or bring it in-house?
