Monel 400 Strip for Acid-Resistant Petrochemical Reactor Linings
Our Monel 400 strip is a tough-as-nails solution for acid-resistant petrochemical reactor linings, built to handle the harshest chemical environments without flinching. This nickel-copper alloy, with about 67% nickel, 30% copper, and a touch of iron and manganese, is our go-to for applications where corrosion resistance and reliability are critical. Whether it’s linings, cladding, or sealing components for reactors, this strip keeps your systems running smoothly.

What makes Monel 400 strip stand out is its incredible ability to resist corrosion from acids like sulfuric, hydrochloric, and hydrofluoric, as well as alkalis and salts. It’s perfect for petrochemical reactors, where equipment needs to withstand brutal chemical conditions. This strip fights off pitting and stress corrosion cracking, ensuring your linings stay intact, keeping leaks at bay and operations on point.
This strip’s versatility is a big win. It’s stable up to 550°C, which is great for reactors with moderate heat, like those in refining or chemical synthesis. Its moderate electrical conductivity (~3-4% IACS) is handy for systems with electrical integration, and its high ductility means it can handle mechanical stress without cracking. From petrochemical refineries to specialty chemical plants, Monel 400 delivers.
We love how easy this strip is to work with. Its excellent formability makes it a breeze to stamp, bend, or shape into whatever your reactor lining design needs—think precision cladding or complex sealing components. Need a custom width, thickness, or finish? We can tailor it to fit your specs, ensuring smooth fabrication and keeping your project on track.
