FAQ
Hexoloy® sintered silicon carbide is virtually inert to corrosion from a wide range of chemicals, whereas most other ceramic materials demonstrate solubility over time.
Sintered silicon carbide can be used in a number of key components, including:
- Mechanical seal faces and rings for pumps
- Tube and tube-sheets for shell and tube heat exchangers
- Chemical reactor vessels
- Valve linings Nozzles
- High temperature reactor packing
Hexoloy® sintered silicon carbide has been successfully used in corrosive environments at temperatures up to 1,500°C. It is important to consider environmental chemistry and thermomechanical factors before designing process components with silicon carbide ceramics.
