Steel yourself for the future…


In today's world, where clean water is one of the most valuable resources, the efficiency and durability of water filtration systems are crucial. One of the most prominent materials for manufacturing water filters is Duplex steel.


Duplex steel i offers superior properties compared to other common materials such as plastic, carbon steel, and traditional stainless steel.


So, why is Duplex steel a good option for water filters?


Well, first of all Duplex steel is exceptionally resistant to corrosion. Duplex has been used for many years in offshore and marine industry, which means that it is a well proven material that is very well adjusted to salt water and heated salt water.

This property ensures that water filters have a long lifespan and require minimal maintenance, saving both time and costs in the long run.


Thanks to its unique microstructure, consisting of roughly equal parts austenite and ferrite, Duplex steel has a high strength. This means that water filters made from Duplex steel can withstand high pressures and mechanical stresses without deforming or cracking, reducing unnecessary places for dirt and bacteria to accumulate and grow.


Duplex steel performs well at both high and low temperatures, making it versatile for different operational environments. This is particularly important in industrial applications where filters may be subjected to temperature changes. It’s not affected by UV-light, and thanks to it’s durable material, the need for reinforcing structures in the application is decreased.


With Duplex, you also avoid the risk of microplastics in the water. The combined strength and ductility of Duplex steel makes it an ideal material for water filters contributing to its long-lasting performance.
