WORLD N°1 IN GRAPHITE ANTICORROSION EQUIPMENT
The Anticorrosion and Process Equipment Activity missions consist in designing innovative solutions for its customers in the following environments:
- high temperature;
- corrosion.
Mersen’s engineers design and manufacture solutions based on a unique combination of material and know-how.
Today, our customers acknowledge our expertise in improving their industrial performance in many fields.
ISOSTATIC GRAPHITE
Mersen, expert in graphite for more than 120 years, designs and manufactures graphite equipment for the circulation, the heat transfert and the storage of highly corrosive fluids.
Graphilor® is a Mersen trademark material made of isostatic graphite combined with a choice of various impregnations.
REACTIVE METALS
Mersen’s R&D engineers have extended their expertise to reactive metals. Tantalum is welded by TIG. Extreme care is required to ensure that all surfaces, which due to the heat of welding reach temperatures above 300°C, are shielded with inert gas.
PTFE
Armylor®, the PTFE coated pipe range, is the result of decades of R&D, combining processes and materials innovations to address the chemical and pharmaceutical industries.
This equipment fulfills our customers’ demands thanks to our experience and skills in thermal design, process engineering and anticorrosion materials.
- ISOSTATIC GRAPHITE: GRAPHILOR®3
Mersen offers a range of 3 Graphilor® 3, based on various impregnations (phenolic, carbon and PTFE) which ensure the imperviousness, the resistance to corrosion and temperature as well as the long-term stability.
- TANTALUM, REACTIVE AND REFRACTORY METAL
Tantalum is both a reactive and refractory metal with outstanding corrosion resistance against ultra-corrosive and oxidizing chemicals including concentrated sulfuric acid, free chlorine or free bromine amongst others.
- PTFE, PFA AND ARMYLOR®
Mersen masters all PTFE manufacturing processes like paste extrusion process, isostatic molding and PFA transfer molding.
