STEELSHIELD™
PERFORMANCE DATA

 

Niles Steel Shield™ glass lining provides superior protection for storage vessels, tanks, reactors and the products contained within them. This proprietary formula designed and tested to meet and exceed the standards of today's industries for corrosion resistance, impact strength, thermal stress resistance, non-adherence and heat transfer efficiency.

Niles Steel Shield™ is proven under the strictest testing procedures to meet the complex demands of the chemical and pharmaceutical industries. It has shown superior performance, longer life, higher resistance to abrasion and better mechanical and thermal properties than other leading linings available today.

In the final outcome, Niles Steel Shield's™ combined properties make it extremely tough and durable for long production life. It possesses excellent resistance to acids, alkalis, water, heat and abrasion.
Niles Steel Shield™ is applied in layers with the base coat smelted at approximately 1,650°F. Additional layers are applied at increasing temperatures, insuring the strongest bond between layers and offering
the best mechanical shock resistance available.

Our multi-phase application process includes a colored indicator layer. This layer of Niles Steel Shield™ has the same resistance properties but is infused with additional elements for a lighter color. Applied at a specific layer, the appearance of the lighter layer acts as a warning that the vessel lining needs to be replaced. Our multi-phase application process can, at your request, include a colored indicator layer.

For additional information on Niles Steel Shield™ testing and quality assurance, please email us and request the NST Steel Shield™ brochure.

 



Our Ultonium™ glass lining is used primarily with water storage vessels and is designed specifically for hot water applications. This single layer, vitreous formulation is applied to the interior surface of the steel tank in the same way as our Steel Shield lining is applied. Ultonium™ provides a tough, wear-resistant lining that minimizes the effects of high-temperature hot water.
