Email-Coated Tanks & Reactors – Resistant to Aggressive Media

Email-coated tanks and reactors are essential components for industrial applications that require high resistance to chemically aggressive media. By combining a robust steel body with a special enamel coating, they offer exceptional resistance to acids, alkalis, and other corrosive substances. The pore-free, smooth surface prevents deposits and facilitates cleaning, making them ideal for the chemical, pharmaceutical, and food processing industries.

In this article, you will learn more about the benefits of email-coated tanks and reactors, their special properties, and their applications in various industries.

What are Email-Coated Tanks & Reactors?

Email-coated tanks and reactors consist of a steel or cast body coated with a high-quality enamel layer. This special protective layer makes the tanks extremely resistant to chemical influences while providing a hygienic, easy-to-clean surface.

By combining the mechanical stability of steel with the chemical resistance of enamel, these tanks are ideal for demanding processes where aggressive chemicals are used.

Key Features of Email-Coated Tanks:

• Excellent chemical resistance: Resistant to acids, alkalis, and aggressive chemicals.
• Smooth, pore-free surface: Facilitates cleaning and prevents deposits.
• Long lifespan: Due to the high resistance of the enamel to corrosion and mechanical wear.
• Hygienic properties: Ideal for pharmaceutical and food processing applications.
• Temperature resistance: Suitable for use at high temperatures without material degradation.

Differences from Other Product-Contact Materials

Compared to stainless steel tanks, email-coated tanks offer significantly higher resistance to strong acids and basic media. While stainless steel may corrode in some aggressive environments, the enamel layer remains stable and protects the tank over time. This makes email-coated tanks especially suitable for processes that require extreme chemical resistance.

Key Properties of Email-Coated Tanks

Email-coated tanks and reactors offer numerous advantages for industrial applications. Here are some of the key features:

1. Chemical Resistance

The high-quality enamel coating provides excellent resistance to:

• Acids: Resistant to sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, phosphoric acid, and other aggressive substances.
• Alkalis: Resistant to strongly alkaline media.
• Solvents: Enamel surfaces are insensitive to many chemical solvents.

2. Hygiene & Cleaning

Thanks to the pore-free surface, email-coated tanks meet the highest hygiene standards. The smooth enamel layer prevents deposits and facilitates cleaning, making them especially suitable for pharmaceutical and food processing applications.

3. Temperature and Pressure Resistance

Email-coated tanks are designed for use at high temperatures and withstand thermal stresses without quality loss. They also offer high pressure resistance, making them suitable for a wide range of industrial processes.

4. Mechanical Stability

The combination of steel and enamel ensures high mechanical strength, making email-coated tanks particularly durable and robust against external influences.

Applications of Email-Coated Tanks & Reactors

Email-coated tanks and reactors are used in a variety of industries, including:

1. Chemical Industry

Thanks to their high resistance to aggressive chemicals, email-coated tanks are ideal for the storage and processing of chemical substances.

2. Pharmaceutical Industry

In the pharmaceutical industry, email-coated reactors and tanks are the preferred choice due to their hygienic properties and chemical resistance.
