SAEKAPHEN sets benchmarks in anti-corrosion protection

Corrossion processes lead to severage damage and billion losses for the economy. Only in Germany the annual loss is over 10 billion Euros. Increasing investment and operating costs endanger the economy of whole production facilities, in particular in the petrochemical and chemical industry. Thus repair and maintenance costs increasingly burden the industry.

SAEKAPHEN was founded in the early fifties and could secure a continuous growth so far, which still continues due to increasing investments in the petrochemical and chemical industries, in particular in emerging countries in the Middle East and in Asia. SAEKAPHEN sets standards in the area of corrosion protection.

The SAEKAPHEN coating technology stands for protection of the equipment, safety for processes for more than 50 years. Coating materials and process technologies were developed which comply with all requirements of a reliable corrosion protection. Especially in tube-bundle heat exchangers the SAEKAPHEN-technology prevents dangerous fouling and incrustation.

SAEKAPHEN coating materials are manufactured as thermosetting plastic polymer combinations based on own recipes. They are applied in multiple layers by special process technologies using the flood or the spray method. A computer steered thermal treatment in specifically designed polymerization ovens forms homogeneous, hard flexible, nonporous and chemically highly resistant protective coatings. Heat-cured SAEKAPHEN coatings are durable up to 220°C. Year by year over 1 million m² surface of tube bundle heat exchangers and plant components are coated worldwide – this confirms the optimal protection of operating facilities and processing units.
