Industry Wide Use of Stainless Steel Banding

Stainless Steel Banding

The steel alloy which contains 10.5 to 11% chromium by mass is known as stainless steel. It does not easily corrode, rust or stain with water as in the case of ordinary steel. The stainless steel alloy is used in sheets, bars, plates, wires, coils, surgical equipments especially in the sugar refineries, aerospace and automotive structural alloy and also to transport various food items and beverages like orange juice. Since it is corrosion resistant, it has anti-bacterial properties. It is also used to make jewelleries, watches, thermal power insulation projects, electrical industries and weapons.

Stainless steel banding is famous nowadays and many industries all over the world are involved in stainless steel banding. The process of stainless steel banding includes ribbon wound banding, oscillating wound banding with giant coils and steel band in carton box, steel band in plastic dispenser (tote) with small coils.

Stainless steel jacketing is recommended in extremely corrosive environments to facilitate better run-off. Stainless steel roll jacketing is generally manufactured fromT-304 and T-316 prime grade stainless steels. It has high tensile strength and is required for insulated piping, boilers, bank houses, breechings, tanks and vessels. It is much smoother and stronger and reduces reflections from external lights. It is rigorously used in chemical factories and refineries, paper mills and steel mills. Stainless steel jacketing is also done in bridges, road constructions, food processing units, high fire incidence and in freezing units. It is most widely used in insulated pipes to increase job site efficiency.

Wide Use of Armaflex NH and Wire Mesh

Aemaflex NH

The armaflex NH is an insulating product for marine and off-shore environments. This armaflex NH is free of halogen compounds. It is highly flexible and elastomeric. It is also used in ship building sectors. It is recommended for insulating the house and thus provides comfort. The armaflex NH prevents from extreme climatic conditions. They also restrict energy losses, pipe corrosion and mould growth inside pipelines.

It is available in the form of tubes, endless sheets or rolls and self adhesive sheets and tapes as well. They are environmental friendly insulation materials with the least smoke and toxic emissions in the occurrence of fire. It resists the spreading of flames when exposed to severe fire because of its very low thermal conductivity. It also provides protection against water vapour and thus prevents condensation. It is suitable for computer rooms.
Wire Mesh
A wire mesh generally has a net-like appearance usually made up of spring steel, stainless steel, galvanized iron, mild steel, and copper, silver, brass, and nickel wires etc which is woven, welded, photo chemically etched or electroformed. They are available in various forms, shapes and sizes as per customer requirement. The wire mesh is highly used in chemical, construction, cement, steel, pharmaceutical, stone crusher, minerals and many more. They are tolerant to very high temperatures. They have high durability and high flow rate. Wire meshes are also used for filtration purposes, to screen out unwanted things. It also provides shield against radio frequency radiations for example in microwave ovens and faraday cages.
