Chemical industry
The perfect combination of cost effectiveness and safety
The processes are very diverse in the chemical industry. Whether it is basic chemicals, petrochemicals, polymers or special chemicals, the challenge is always the same: to ensure cost effectiveness and plant safety for the longest possible life cycle of a production plant, while also meeting strict environmental requirements. Our enameled pipelines, heat exchangers, fittings and columns help you manage these complex tasks.
Our email800 offers the broadest chemical resistance profile compared to other materials. The enamel surface is also catalytically ineffective and extremely heat resistant. Compared to metal materials such as Hastelloy, titanium or tantalum, enamel is considerably cheaper.
For over 50 years our email800 has been used in chemical processes that require pipes to carry highly corrosive halogens like chlorine, bromine, iodine and their salts and acids.
Aside from the outstanding chemical resistance of our email800, the key factor is the manufacturing method and experience of our employees. The human factor and our decades of experience in constructing thin layers make the difference in the quality of our enamels. For you it means maximum safety and service life, for the economical operation of plants.
The extremely smooth surface is abrasion resistant and anti-adhesive. Multi-purpose-systems offer the smallest possible pipe part sizes, optimized seals and small dead spaces, as well as the added value of excellent cleanability. And for sustainability, our products also compete well: the sustainability of the parts reduces consumption of natural resources. The manufacture and disposal are environmentally friendly.
If you think the catch is in the cost, you’re wrong: there is no more cost effective material that has all these properties. Our email800 is the safest, most durable and cost effective solution for your chemical plant.
Also: Our pipes coated with email250light are also ideal for exhaust air pipes in flue gas cleaning and offer a durable alternative to plastic or glass pipes. The considerably lower fire load means that the investment soon pays for itself due to lower insurance costs.
Pharmaceutical industry
Batch change: clean, safe, quick
The production and processing of ethical and generic pharmaceutical substances are complex, extremely sensitive processes. Whether they are natural substances, semi-synthetic or synthetic pharmaceuticals or biotechnologically modified preparations, a good manufacturing process places high demands on production.
As a pharmaceutical manufacturer, you have the challenge of using your API systems as flexibly and efficiently as possible, while also avoiding contamination between the various pharmaceutical substances. One factor is particularly important in achieving this balancing act: validated cleanability. Batch change is only compatible with the production of highly pure substances if the system has excellent cleanability. Our enameled parts and bottom outlet valves (stainless steel and Hastelloy) enable you to achieve this decisive added value in API production.The combination of extremely smooth surfaces, smallest possible radii and small dead paces due to gapless design and optimal rinsability gives excellent cleaning results in short cleaning times.
Efficient use primarily means flexible use. That is why plant cleanability is key. Our enameled parts address this requirement. The extremely smooth surface of email850P and the smallest possible radii and small dead spaces enable you to achieve optimal cleaning results in short cleaning times, and therefore ensure optimal plant availability.
The light blue color of our email850Pcontrasts with the surface and medium, so that impurities and product residues on the enamel coating can be spotted quickly and easily. This anti-adhesive enamel has a topographical roughness of Ra < 0,3µm, which prevents the development of biofilms.
The chemical properties of email850P, our special enamel for the pharmaceutical industry, are also excellent. High resistance to corrosion, in particular from acidic media, as well as catalytically inert behavior, ensure optimal process safety and long service lives. Signs of corrosion, such as ‘rouging’ are prevented.
However, the light blue color of email850P is not an advantage in all areas. email800 in white is a good alternative if a color contrast with the medium is not desired. This enamel offers the same ideal conditions for API production, but because of the white color, it will not be visible in the end product.
Food industry
Quick, thorough cleaning processes are the key to optimal plant availability.
Food production has a social responsibility, because it is about supplying people safely and reliably with the food they need to live. As a modern food manufacturer, you also offer the consumer added health benefits and varied pleasure at affordable prices. It is not an easy task, particularly as consumer demands for bio/technological functionality are growing. The competing requirements of quality and cost pressure make the efficient use of production plants especially important.
The special enamel was originally developed for the pharmaceutical industry. Due to its outstanding property profile, our email850P is now used in the food manufacturing industry. The anti-adhesive coating prevents biofilms from developing. The high wear resistance against abrasive media is another great advantage of this material. No changes are seen in the surfaces that touch products, even after long operation and many cleaning cycles.
Alongside the technical enamel’s mechanical properties, its chemical properties ensure high process safety and long service lives. email850P offers broad resistance, in particular to strong acids. It is catalytically ineffective, thermally resilient and therefore ideally suited for every physical, biological or chemical process in food production.
Agricultural industry
Plant solutions as they should be: sustainable, safe, economical
Food safety is without a doubt the most basic human need. Luckily, an excellent food supply is a matter of course in large parts of the world, not least because of the agrochemical industry. Without agrochemical products, arable fields would not be as productive as they are today. Also, the agricultural problems of the future can only be solved with innovations of the agrochemical industry.
As a manufacturer of fertilizers and pesticides, you face one initial challenge: to optimize the operational safety and efficiency of your plants, while also complying with strict environmental requirements. Our enameled pipelines, valves and columns are an essential part of any plant concept.
Our email800 offers the broadest chemical resistance profile compared to other materials.
For over 50 years our email800 has been used in plants manufacturing pesticides, where pipes carry highly corrosive halogens like chlorine, bromine and their salts and acids.
Aside from the outstanding chemical resistance of our email800, the key factor is the manufacturing method and experience of our employees. The human factor and our decades of experience in constructing thin layers make the difference in the quality of our enamels. For you it means maximum safety and service life, for the economical operation of plants.
We are also attractive in terms of sustainability: our enameled parts reduce consumption of natural resources because they are long lasting and their manufacturing and waste disposal processes are environmentally friendly.
With all these advantages, perhaps you think the catch comes with price. But it’s the opposite: There is no cheaper material that can offer you the added value, whatever pesticide, stain or fertilizer you produce.
Waste disposal
The more cost effective alternative solution for your plant
There’s no doubt: every industry needs well designed recycling and disposal processes. At the end of every production process, the responsibility for environmental friendliness rests largely with the disposal company. This is the case particularly for the chemical industry, where a diverse range of dangerous residues and waste is commonly produced. The proper disposal and, wherever possible, processing and recycling of raw materials and chemicals is highly relevant, both economically and ecologically. For that reason, legislature imposes strict requirements on these processes.
As a disposal company you must meet many responsibilities and requirements, while also working cost effectively. That’s why it is vital for your plants to be safe and reliable. Our enameled parts offer you this crucial added value. Our email800 coating is highly acid resistant, catalytically ineffective and withstands boiling water.
This surface is unchallenged by concentrated acidic mixtures or by carrying acidic wastewater. So email800 is ideally suited for wastewater treatment with both thermal and chemical/physical processes. It offers ideal process safety.
The extreme smoothness of the surface provides high wear resistance against abrasive media. The chemical resistance of email800 is tailored to this area of application and has a comparatively high wear reserve. email800 is our classic enamel and has been proven by independent tests and industrial chemistry laboratories in Germany and Switzerland.
Technical enamels from Düker Email Technologie are an outstanding alternative to the established and cost-intensive materials like titanium, Hastelloy and tantalum. The benefits include long service lives, optimal plant availability and maximum operational safety.
Safety
Highly resistant, audit-ready and economical
In the safety and defence sector, chemical processes place particularly demanding requirements on materials, documentation and operational reliability. Typical applications involve highly concentrated acids, aggressive oxidising agents and reactive intermediates – media that must be handled safely and documented without gaps. Düker Email Technologie does not supply components for end products in this field, but the upstream process equipment: glass lined piping systems, valves and columns for chemical plants processing demanding media.
For plant operators and EPC contractors alike, the challenge extends beyond process engineering. Comprehensive documentation, audit-ready supply chains and full material traceability are essential requirements. Our email800 enamel provides the ideal material basis for these applications. Proven in chemical processing plants for more than 50 years, it offers outstanding resistance to highly corrosive acids and halogens. Its excellent acid resistance, catalytic inertness and thermal stability make it particularly suitable for processes involving concentrated sulphuric acid, nitric acid and mixed acids used in nitration processes.
