The chemical resistance of a material describes its ability to withstand aggressive chemical substances such as acids, alkalis, solvents or process media - without corroding, wearing out or failing mechanically. In many industrial sectors, this property is crucial for the durability and safety of components.
In the pump industry in particular, components are subjected to extreme loads: They have to cope with hot, abrasive, viscous and chemically aggressive media - and often under high pressures of several thousand bar.
Typical components with increased requirements for chemical resistance are
Dosing units
Plunger for high-pressure pumps
Nozzles and slide rings
Slide bearings, slides and valve needles
Valve seats, pistons, cylinders and pressure packs
Technical ceramics from DOCERAM offer an ideal solution for this. They are chemically inert, do not react with media and remain dimensionally stable and wear-resistant even at high temperatures and pressures. This makes them the first choice for applications where corrosion protection and chemical resistance are crucial.
