Expanite A/S - Surface Hardening of Stainless Steel and Titanium

Expanite Replaces Hard Chrome Plating at LIAG® LÄUFER IN­TER­NA­TIO­NAL AG – A Safer, More Sustainable Solution   When it comes to food safety, there’s no room for compromise. LIAG® LÄUFER, a specialist in hygienic shutter valves and pigging systems, needed a hardening solution that could withstand extreme abrasive wear and corrosion—without the risks associated with hard chrome plating, which is increasingly being banned in the food industry.   After testing multiple alternatives—including carburizing, which led to premature corrosion—LIAG® LÄUFER found the perfect match in Expanite. The patented and sustainable Expanite surface hardening technology not only enhances wear resistance but also improves corrosion protection, ensuring longer-lasting and safer components. When the components are used for longer it automatically leads to higher up-time, and the environmental benefits are clear: the need for new equipment is reduced and thus the need for virgin stainless steel.   A Sustainable Alternative Unlike coatings or plating, Expanite’s diffusion-based process is far more environmentally friendly—helping companies like LIAG® LÄUFER meet sustainability goals while maintaining the highest performance standards. #Expanite #surfacehardening #heattreatment #valves

Is your stainless steel surface hardening REACH compliant?   REACH stands for Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and restriction of chemicals. REACH (EC) 1907/2006 is a European Union regulation that affects the supply and use of substances.   If you're still relying on hard chrome plating, it’s time to rethink. Hard chrome plating is a 100-year-old technology that requires  highly toxic chemicals, including hexavalent chromium—a substance of very high concern under the European Union’s REACH regulation (EC) 1907/2006.   There is an alternative that is 100% REACH compliant stainless steel hardening improving wear and corrosion performance without compromising safety or the environment.   Let’s move forward with sustainable, innovative, and green manufacturing solutions.   🔗 Visit Expanite.com to discover how we’re transforming stainless-steel surface treatment—one sustainable step at a time.   #Sustainability #SurfaceHardening #LifecycleExtension #Expanite #Transparency #GreenManufacturing

Is it time to rethink hard chrome plating? This outdated 100-year-old technology relies on highly toxic chemicals like hexavalent chromium, classified as a Substance of Very High Concern under EU REACH regulation. At Expanite, we offer a sustainable, REACH-compliant alternative for surface hardening stainless steel—proven to work without the need for toxic substances. #Sustainability #GreenManufacturing #Heattreatment #SurfaceHardening #Expanite #Innovation
