Material Advantages /Material Advantage
This product is manufactured from mainstream stainless steel grades such as 304, 316L, and 316Ti. Material selection is rigorously matched to the requirements of different operating conditions. Its core advantages are as follows, with no exaggeration:
• Excellent corrosion resistance: 304 stainless steel contains 18% chromium and 8% nickel, offering resistance to mild acidic and alkaline solutions and to storage in room-temperature water, making it suitable for standard hygienic applications. 316L stainless steel builds on the 304 grade by adding molybdenum and limiting carbon content to ≤0.03%, significantly enhancing corrosion resistance; it withstands seawater, highly concentrated acids and alkalis, and organic solvents, effectively preventing pitting and intergranular corrosion, and is suited for harsh corrosive environments such as chemical processing and new energy industries. Furthermore, 316Ti offers even better high-temperature and corrosion resistance, making it appropriate for more demanding storage conditions.
• Hygienic and non-toxic compliance: Products designed for the food and pharmaceutical industries use cold-rolled stainless steel sheets with a surface roughness controlled to Ra ≤ 0.8 μm. After nitric acid or citric acid passivation, they meet the GB 4806.9-2016 National Food Safety Standard, with heavy metal migration ≤ 0.01 mg/kg. No harmful substances are released, and no reactions occur with stored materials, fundamentally preventing secondary contamination and meeting high-cleanliness storage requirements.
• Stable and durable construction: Stainless steel offers high tensile strength and excellent toughness. 304 stainless steel has a tensile strength of ≥515 MPa, while 2205 duplex stainless steel achieves ≥620 MPa. These grades withstand extreme temperature conditions; 304 tolerates temperatures from -270°C to 427°C, and the 316 series from -196°C to 450°C. Resistant to deformation and aging, the material ensures stable operation for 15–20 years under normal use, eliminating the need for frequent anti-corrosion treatments and reducing long-term maintenance costs.
• Environmentally friendly and recyclable: Made of stainless steel, which is 100% recyclable with no waste pollution, this tank aligns more closely with eco-friendly principles than tanks made from plastic or carbon steel. It produces no harmful waste over long-term use, making it well-suited to green production requirements.
