A superior alternative to metals, glass and other tube materials for
enhanced heat exchanger efficiency, uptime and reliability
• High Thermal Conductivity
• Virtually Universal Corrosion Resistance
• Extreme Hardness and High Strength
Hexoloy® SiC Heat Exchanger Tubes give you distinct advantages
Saint-Gobain offers Hexoloy silicon carbide chemical process heat exchanger
tubing as a superior alternative to tubes made of metals, glass and other
materials. Hexoloy SiC is a single-phase, sintered alpha silicon carbide
offering high purity, fine grain size and extremely low porosity. Hexoloy SiC tubes offer distinct advantages to enhance the performance of shell and
tube heat exchangers used in demanding applications from chemical processing
to refineries.
Excellent Thermal Conductivity
Hexoloy SiC’s thermal conductivity is almost equal to that of commonly
used graphite tubes and far better than all other tube materials available.
Its thermal conductivity is twice that of tantalum, 5 times that of stainless steel, 10 times that of Hastelloy and 15 times that of glass. The result is higher efficiency while requiring less heat transfer area.
Meets Tough Standards Hexoloy SA SiC is approved for use by the following authorities:
• WRC, Water Byelaws Scheme (U.K.)
• DVGW, German Federal Health Office
• FDA, Non Food Additive
