Stainless Steel Solutions for Chemical & Petrochemical Industries

Chemical and petrochemical industries face severe wear challenges in harsh environments. Stancor Stainless provides high-performance stainless steel plates, sheets, and coils to meet these demands.

The service challenge

In chemical processing, wear mechanisms such as sliding abrasion and corrosive attack can severely erode components over time. This often leads to failure of susceptible parts like valves and tanks, resulting in costly downtime.

Selecting the right product

Choose based on environment

Select grades that match the specific chemical and physical stresses of your application.

Consider thickness requirements

Assess the necessary thickness for structural integrity and longevity.

Factor in temperature variations

Ensure the chosen grade can withstand fluctuating temperatures without compromising performance.

Evaluate application frequency

Higher wear applications may require more resilient stainless steel grades.

Questions engineers ask

Which grade is best for corrosive applications?

For corrosive chemical environments, grades like S31603 or S32205 are highly recommended due to their excellent corrosion resistance.

What is the typical thickness range available?

We offer stainless steel plates, sheets, and coils in thicknesses ranging from 3 mm to 30 mm, depending on the grade.

Can I get custom cuts?

Yes, we provide custom cutting services to match your specific designs and project requirements.

How can I ensure traceability?

Every shipment comes with an EN 10204 3.1 mill test certificate that ensures traceability to its heat.
