Frequently Asked Questions – Chemical Industry

Answers to your most important questions about stainless steel technology for chemical processes.

Which stainless steel grades are most suitable for chemical applications?2025-09-05T11:53:14+02:00

Austenitic grades such as 304L and 316L are widely used due to their corrosion resistance and availability. In addition, duplex, ferritic, and precipitation-hardened stainless steels are applied in particularly demanding environments, for example in high-temperature or highly corrosive processes.

Why is stainless steel the best choice for systems in the chemical industry?2025-09-05T11:52:54+02:00

Stainless steel provides excellent corrosion resistance, high strength, durability, and hygienic properties – making it ideal for aggressive chemical environments. This ensures high reliability while reducing maintenance and lifecycle costs.

What are the key advantages of stainless steel systems in the chemical industry?2025-09-05T11:53:56+02:00
  • Long service life & reliability – minimizing downtime and maintenance.

  • High process safety – robust material properties ensure operational security.

  • Cost efficiency in the long term – despite higher initial costs, stainless steel pays off through reduced maintenance.

  • Sustainability – stainless steel is 100% recyclable.

  • Compliance – supports environmental and safety regulations.

In which areas of chemical plants is stainless steel most commonly used?2025-09-05T11:53:35+02:00

Stainless steel is particularly important for:

  • Storage tanks and vessels

  • Reactors and pressure equipment

  • Piping systems, pumps, and valves

  • Heat exchangers, filtration, and separation units
    These components benefit from the high chemical resistance and mechanical strength of stainless steel.

Can stainless steel components also be used in highly sensitive, hygienic environments?2025-09-05T11:54:12+02:00

Yes – stainless steel can be manufactured with electropolished, smooth, and easy-to-clean surfaces. Such finishes reduce contamination risks, allow CIP/SIP cleaning, and meet the strict requirements for sterile hygienic design.
