- Sanitary Surface Finish – Electropolished surfaces feature reduced roughness and resist bacterial buildup
- Meets Industry Standards – Compliant with FDA, USDA, GMP, ASTM A967 and ASTM B912 for regulated applications
- Extended Lifespan – Enhanced surface performance minimizes wear and maintenance needs
- Professional Appearance – Electropolishing produces a reflective finish ideal for cleanroom and laboratory environments
Details
The AquaShield Column can be upgraded with specialized stainless steel treatments that support long-term performance and cleanliness in demanding conditions.
-
Passivation chemically removes free iron and fabrication contaminants, restoring the chromium oxide layer and strengthening rust resistance.
-
Passivation with Electropolishing further enhances the finish by micro-smoothing the surface to reduce bacterial adhesion and deliver a bright, polished appearance.
These upgrades are ideal for food processing, pharmaceutical, chemical, and biotech facilities that require strict hygiene standards and minimal maintenance.
