Introduction
Chemical corrosion damages equipment fast. It reduces performance and increases downtime. But with the right mixer material, you can avoid these problems.
Metal alloy static mixers offer excellent chemical resistance. At ProMixUSA, we help customers choose the best material for their process.
Understanding Chemical Compatibility
Different fluids attack different materials. Acids dissolve mild steel. Chlorides pit standard stainless steel. Solvents degrade plastics. That’s why choosing the correct alloy matters.
ProMixUSA offers carbon steel, 304L, and 316L stainless steel mixers. We also provide custom alloys when standard options don’t cut it.
Why Stainless Steel Works
304L stainless steel works well for light acids and basic cleaning agents. It resists rust and staining. In harsher conditions, 316L performs better. Its molybdenum content helps fight off chlorides and corrosive acids.
These alloys maintain strength under heat and pressure, making them ideal for aggressive mixing environments.
When to Upgrade to Higher Alloys
Some applications require more protection. Hydrochloric acid, sodium hypochlorite, and sulfuric acid attack common metals. In those cases, we recommend Duplex, Hastelloy, or Inconel.
These alloys resist oxidation, stress cracking, and chemical attack over long periods.
ProMixUSA sources and custom-fabricates these materials upon request.
Mixing Dangerous Fluids Safely
Chemical blending involves risk. Incorrect mixing leads to dangerous reactions. Metal alloy mixers allow precise dosing and full dispersion of aggressive additives.
Install them in-line to mix acids, alkalis, or oxidizers safely. Their uniform design prevents hotspots and ensures predictable results.
Long Life, Low Risk
Metal alloy mixers last longer than other materials in corrosive systems. You won’t need frequent replacement or emergency shutdowns. Their strength protects your investment and your people.
ProMixUSA also offers static mixer models with polished finishes to prevent buildup and reduce cleaning time.
Final Thoughts
Chemical mixing demands materials that fight corrosion. Metal alloy static mixers from ProMixUSA give you the chemical resistance your system needs—without sacrificing durability.
