Materials of construction
Your choice of construction material is primarily determined by the :
- operating environment
- service life
- budget
Our products come in various materials. Your local BAC representative can assist you in choosing the best material option for your specific project.
The basic standard material is hot-dip galvanized steel. Featuring an excellent service life, effective maintainability and proper water treatment.
We protect hot-dip galvanized steel with a single uniform thick zinc layer and external polymeric paint. Fastening hardware is triple corrosion protected. All exposed cut edges are covered with a zinc-rich coating after fabrication. Use Baltiplus corrosion protection and
- extend the service life of the equipment
- avoid internal paint peeling
The patented Baltibond Corrosion Protection System is a unique product.
A special hybrid polymer is electrostatically sprayed onto each individual galvanized steel component for complete and uniform surface coverage. All these components then undergo a heat-activated thermosetting cure process which fuse-bonds the polymer powder to the galvanized steel surfaces.
Use the Baltibond Corrosion Protection System and:
- extend the equipment service life
- save water by applying higher cycles of concentration
- facilitate cleaning with the smooth surface finish
Use stainless steel for corrosion critical applications. We offer AISi 304 or 316 and recommend 316 for applications with chloride concentrations exceeding 500 ppm in the circulating water.
For non-unit structure elements, corrosion resistant material is used, e.g. fiberglass reinforced polyester (FRP), polyvinyl chloride (PVC), aluminum or copper.
Water quality guidelines or concentration cycles differ for each material option. Check our water quality guidelines for more information.
