There is an increased demand for corrosion protection, especially stainless steel filter regulators and pneumatic instruments that epoxy-coated as an alternative to costly corrosion-resistant exotic alloys. Many manufacturers do not offer such options and often third party contractors need to achieve the preparation, coating and certification for the client.
Red Dragon Valves, partnering with Sitecna of Italy, offers offshore epoxy and polyurethane coating options on any Sitecna aluminium or stainless steel pneumatic filter regulator, flow control or accessories due to their flexible approach to manufacturing. As this is achieved by the manufacturer, it does not void the warranty, and the quality and performance are assured.
Many manufacturers only offer filter regulators and other products in stainless steel and consider special finishes only for large production runs. Sitecna offers options for offshore epoxy coatings or complete construction in exotic alloys such as monel, hastelloy, super duplex and 6MO, giving a broader scope of applications for their regulators and flow control valves than the standard 316L material and for readily achievable batch quantities.
