Why Glasteel®? 

The benefits of GMM Pfaudler glass-lined equipment are well known:

Glasteel® is resistant to most corrosive substances even under extreme thermal conditions.

Glasteel® is essentially inert, so it cannot adversely affect product purity or flavour.

Glasteel® resists the build-up of viscous or sticky products, which means better heat transfer, less frequent cleaning and higher productivity.

Glasteel® is strong. Fusing glass to steel produces a high strength, corrosive resistant composite.



Now, A Glass for the World


In recent years, because of the expansion of the chemical process and pharmaceutical industries world-wide and increased concerns for safety and quality control, Pfaudler began investigating new approaches in glass development that would lead to a glass composition that could be made available to all users of glass-lined equipment.

Together with the chemical process industry and with the co-operation of Pfaudler divisions around the world, Pfaudler established the criteria for a new composition:

A non-crystalline structure.
Increased resistance to acid and alkali corrosion.
High resistance to impact.
High resistance to thermally induced stresses.
A formulation that could be easily produced by all Pfaudler manufacturing plants.

The result is Glasteel 9100®, Pfaudler's first "international glass", offering an unmatched combination of corrosion resistance, impact strength, thermal shock resistance, non-adherence and heat transfer efficiency.

Now GMM Pfaudler customers, regardless of where their processing operations are located, can purchase a single glass system and be assured of getting the same high quality worldwide. With Glasteel 9100
®, GMM Pfaudler sets a standard the world can depend on.
