Corrosion Resistant Housings: Tantaline

In order to provide enhanced support to companies who have a requirement to filter highly corrosive fluids Amazon Filters is introducing a range of filter housings that have been modified to provide a surface that is composed of pure Tantalum metal. This provides a product that has superior resistance to many corrosive chemicals than nickel alloys such as Hastelloy and a significantly more robust surface finish than coated housings.

We are now able to supply a number of our housings that have been through the Tantaline vapour deposition process, significantly enhancing their corrosion resistance. The benefits of the Tantaline process are maximised with certain housing designs, therefore as standard the Tantaline housing ranges include 50 and 70 Series housings with flanged or Triclover type inlet/outlet connections.

Enquiry form

The use of the Tantaline vapour deposition for protection against chemical attack is already being adopted for a range of process equipment including valves, pipework fittings, couplings and pump impellers. Amazon Filters is the first company to apply this technology to stainless steel housings. It is more suitable than nickel alloys for a range of chemicals including:

Hydrogen iodide
Hydrogen sulphide

and various acids including:

Hydrochloric acid
Sulphuric acid
Nitric acid
Phosphoric acid
Formic acid
Acetic acid

Unlike coating technology the deposition process produces a surface that does not suffer from separation, peeling or flaking. The Tantaline alloy deposition is approximately 50μm deep and typically a depth of only 10μm is needed for protection, therefore significant safety margin is built into the design. The Tantalum used in the processing conforms with ASTM B364-96. A certificate of conformity and raw material certificates are available on request.

Produces housings with a pure Tantalum metal surface with all its corrosion resistant properties – the most corrosion resistant metal that is commercially available.
More suitable than nickel alloys for a range of chemicals e.g. acids.
More robust surface finish than coating technology.
Tantaline surface alloy is already established with other process equipment e.g. valves, couplings, pipework fittings, etc.
Depth of surface modification is designed to provide significant safety margin against corrosion.
Biologically inert material so suitable for pharmaceutical and food and beverage applications.
Only available with Amazon Filters’ housings.
ATEX compliant to EC 2014/34/EU, level CE Ex II 2 GD cX.
