Protection of Glass Lined Parts

De Dietrich Process Systems is launching a new External Protection of Glass-Lined Parts. To address the problems of its customers, particularly in pharmaceutical and fine chemicals, sensitive to the risk of contamination of their products by paint chips, the company has developed a new exterior nickel coating for glass-lined parts. This coating is particularly suitable for glass-lined accessories such as manhole covers, protection rings and even some AE reactor covers, or process peripheral such as piping. The external protection of process equipment (reactors, piping, etc.) in glass-lined steel is traditionally provided by the paint. These paints have excellent corrosion resistance but may in places be subject to high mechanical stress, and flake. The GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) standards of the pharmaceutical industry prohibit the fact that a paint flake can contaminate the final product. To address this risk, the company has developed a nickel coating solution that provides corrosion protection comparable to painting, while eliminating the risk of chipping. Indeed, nickel coating has outstanding properties: bonds perfectly with the base material; impact resistant; easy to clean thanks to a specific surface preparation; and makes it possible to apply homogenous surface coating to components with complex geometries.
