Ceramic Intalox Saddle has excellent acid resistance and heat resistance. It can resist to corrosion of various inorganic acids, organic acids and organic solvents except hydrofluoric acid, and can be used in high or low temperature conditions, which have been used widely. This product can be used in the drying columns, absorbing columns, cooling towers, scrubbing towers and acetifier columns in chemical industry, metallurgy industry, coal gas industry, oxygen producing industry, etc.

3. Advantages
1) Intalox saddles are made from chemical porcelain and have excellent resistance to acids except hydrofluoric acid.
2) The porcelain’s specific gravity is 2.3-2.4g/cm3 and an average heat capacity (between 20°C and 500°C of 0.22 cal/g. °C)
3)ceramic saddles softening point is 1400°C min. And they show good thermal shock resistance during repeated cycling between 20°C and 820°C
