Chemical & Petrochemical Processing
Silicon Carbide Components for Corrosive and Demanding Process Conditions
Chemical and petrochemical processing can expose components to corrosive chemicals, abrasive media, elevated temperatures, and repeated thermal cycling. SCP manufactures custom silicon carbide components for process areas where conventional materials may experience premature corrosion, erosion, or wear.

Application conditions
Built for the Conditions That Challenge Process Components
Chemical and petrochemical processing can expose components to combinations of corrosive chemistry, abrasive media, elevated temperatures, and changing process conditions. Material performance depends on the specific chemistry, concentration, temperature, flow conditions, and component geometry.
Acidic & Alkaline Chemistry
Process streams can expose components to acids, alkalis, and other aggressive chemicals that progressively degrade conventional materials.
Abrasive & Erosive Media
Slurries, catalysts, particulates, and other process media can wear exposed surfaces through continuous contact and fluid or gas flow.
Elevated Temperatures
Reactors, burners, process vessels, and other equipment can operate at temperatures that limit the performance of conventional materials.
Thermal Cycling
Changes in operating conditions, startup, shutdown, and process variations can create repeated temperature changes and thermal stress.
Complex Process Environments
Many applications combine multiple wear mechanisms, requiring the material and component design to perform under the full range of operating conditions.
WHY SIlicon carbide
Engineered to Perform Where Conventional Materials Fall Short
Chemical Resistance
SCProbond™ materials provide excellent resistance in acidic and alkaline process environments, helping components maintain their integrity where chemical attack limits the life of conventional materials.
Abrasion & Erosion Resistance
High hardness helps resist material loss caused by abrasive particles, slurries, and high-velocity process flow, extending component service life in demanding applications.
High-Temperature Performance
SCProbond™ materials maintain their properties at elevated temperatures, making them suitable for process environments where conventional metals or other materials may lose performance.
Thermal Shock Resistance
SCProbond™ grades can withstand significant temperature changes, helping reduce the risk of premature failure in applications involving thermal cycling.
