Caldera specializes in innovative designs that utilize high-performance ceramics, metals, and polymers to withstand severe service environments.

The Appropriate High-Performance Materials for Superior Service Equipment

Selecting the right material is critical to designing equipment that performs reliably under extreme conditions. Valves and other components face corrosion, erosion, thermal excursions, and stress from rapid temperature fluctuations. Using suboptimal materials in these environments can result in costly failures and unplanned downtime.

Understanding how materials behave in specific operating environments is often the key to avoiding unplanned shutdowns. That’s why Caldera collaborates closely with customers to select the most effective material for every application.

Caldera’s custom-made products are built with reliable, high-performance materials:

• Advanced ceramics – including sintered silicon carbide for extreme wear resistance
• High-grade metals – titanium and specialty alloys for durability in harsh conditions
• Engineered polymers – such as Teflon, for chemical resistance and flexibility
