World-class anticorrosion protection technologies: VITRIUM™
The vitreous enamel synthesis solution was first applied in 1946. Since then, this technology has been improved over years of research and practical applications resulting from accumulated experience. Studies and cooperation with major chemical corporations have led to new high-resistance epoxy powder coating solutions against abrasion and UV. The result is a modular and uniform product, manufactured in an extremely well-controlled production environment, with clear procedures for quality verification, packaging and traceability. Modern, fully automated plants were built and certified for ISO 9001 quality management.
VITRIUM™ glass fused with steel
It is a unitary product integrating the two materials: glass and steel fuse together at over 815°C in controlled-atmosphere furnaces. Thus, the physical properties of VITRIUM™ are optimal for applications with industrial and municipal liquids. The exterior and interior layers have high hardness characteristics, are corrosion-inert, and create an extremely resistant anticorrosion barrier protecting the steel core of the panel.
The VITRIUM™ technology combines the physical and chemical resistance of titanium dioxide (TiO2) based enamel in a glass matrix with ultrafine bubbles, which are extremely durable and flexible. This allows control of the protective coating thickness which varies between 180–380 microns on the exterior and 260–460 microns on the interior.
