Importance of Stainless Steel in Chemical & Petrochemical Applications

Stainless steel is a preferred material in chemical and petrochemical industries due to its excellent resistance to corrosion, chemical attack, oxidation, and stress corrosion cracking. Compared to carbon steel, stainless steel provides enhanced durability when exposed to acids, alkalis, chlorides, solvents, and high-temperature process fluids.

Inox Steel India supplies seamless and welded stainless steel products designed to maintain structural integrity and process purity under harsh chemical environments.

Chemical & Petrochemical Segments We Serve

Our stainless steel solutions support a wide range of chemical and petrochemical segments, including:

  • Basic chemical plants – acids, alkalis, solvents, and intermediates
  • Petrochemical complexes – polymers, aromatics, and derivatives
  • Fertilizer plants – ammonia, urea, and phosphate processing
  • Specialty chemical units – fine chemicals and high-purity processing
  • Bulk chemical storage & transfer systems

Each segment demands precise material selection based on chemical composition, temperature, pressure, and process conditions.
