Applications
Stainless steel and aluminum pipes, fittings, and valves: Resistaloy's Canadian expertise.
Aluminum
Aluminum is widely used across many industries due to its lightness, corrosion resistance, malleability, and recyclability. Its major applications include transportation (aerospace and automotive), construction, food packaging, electronics, and energy production.
Chemical
Stainless steel is a key material for the chemical industry due to its excellent corrosion resistance, even in aggressive and high-temperature environments, making it indispensable for manufacturing equipment such as piping, tanks, and vessels.
Food and Beverage
Stainless steel (inox) is favored in the food processing industry for its chemical inertness, resistance to corrosion and heat, durability, and ease of cleaning and disinfection—essential qualities for ensuring hygiene and food safety.
Hydroelectric
Stainless steel is used in the hydroelectric industry due to its corrosion resistance, durability, and ability to withstand harsh conditions, particularly in turbines, valves, pipelines, and other power plant components.
Mining
Stainless steel is essential in the mining industry for its resistance to corrosion and abrasion, which extends the lifespan of equipment exposed to harsh environments, such as excavations, drills, excavators, and transport trucks.
Pulp and Paper
Stainless steel is an essential material in the pulp and paper industry, used for manufacturing everything from pulp digesters to paper machines and pipelines, due to its exceptional resistance to corrosion, wear, and aggressive chemicals like acids and alkalis.
Petrochemical
Stainless steel is an essential material in the petrochemical industry due to its exceptional corrosion resistance, even in highly aggressive chemical and high-temperature environments. It is used for piping systems and process equipment, offering durability and reliability for safe and productive operations.
Pharmaceutical
Stainless steel is essential in the pharmaceutical industry due to its corrosion resistance, hygienic properties, and durability, which help prevent product contamination and meet strict standards.
Plumbing
Stainless steel is an ideal material for the plumbing industry thanks to its high corrosion resistance, durability, and ability to withstand high pressures and flows, even in hard or saltwater.
Structural
Aluminum structures offer a combination of strength, lightness, and corrosion resistance, making them a popular choice in modern construction. Thanks to well-established design guidelines and a wide variety of applications, aluminum continues to play an essential role in the building and construction industry.
Water Treatment
Stainless steel is widely used in water treatment industries due to its corrosion resistance, durability, and ability to maintain water quality. It is employed for pipelines, valves, and treatment equipment, thanks to the formation of a protective chromium oxide layer that prevents it from rusting.
