SuperExpanite® - the environmentally friendly surface hardening
Ramén Valves has a long history of innovation and excellence in the valve industry and as a step in our continuous efforts to achieve a more sustainable production process, we have chosen to eliminate the use of hard chroming in our manufacturing processes. Instead, we have adopted the more environmentally friendly SuperExpanite® treatment, a gas-based process that yields no toxic waste and has the lowest carbon footprint in the industry.
What is SuperExpanite®?
SuperExpanite® is a patented surface hardening technology invented by the Danish company Expanite, that increases the hardness, wear-resistance, and improved corrosion resistance of stainless steel and titanium components. The SuperExpanite® treatment provides at least the same hardness level as hard chroming, but eliminates the need of dangerous chemicals, making the process more environmentally friendly.
Why choose SuperExpanite® over hard chroming?
The decision to adopt the SuperExpanite® treatment as our standard hardening treatment stems from SuperExpanite’s® numerous advantages over hard chroming, as well as the low environmental impact and the increased lifetime of the valves. This reflects our commitment to sustainability and responsible manufacturing practices.
