Batteries

Both mobile and stationary battery systems are experiencing strong market growth due to increasing electrification. Careful management of natural resources throughout the value chain is essential. AGRU provides solutions for the mining and processing of raw materials such as lithium, the production/packaging of batteries in factories and the recycling of batteries. The MINELINE piping system provides reliable transport of abrasive media. Landfill liners and piping systems from the AGRUCHEM product range store and transport aggressive process chemicals, protecting the environment. Chemicals used in wet chemical processes for lithium processing or battery manufacturing, as well as in end-of-life hydrometallurgical recycling processes, can be safely and permanently transported and stored through pipes, valves and semi-finished products made of PE, PP and fluoropolymers.

Flue gas applications

Semi-finished products

The flue gases produced during roasting and combustion processes are cleaned by downstream processes and fed to the chimney via flue gas ducts. Due to the high temperatures and corrosive nature of the flue gases, it is necessary to line these components with corrosion-resistant plastics. AGRU ECTFE SK+ sheets are often used as lining material due to their excellent chemical resistance to sulphur containing flue gases and high operating temperatures (sometimes up to 120°C). Further information: ECTFE dual laminate flue gas stack; Halar® ECTFE dual-laminate stack. PFA can be used for even more demanding operating conditions (e.g. temperatures > 120 °C) or very large flue gas ducts. PFA fixed point lining is suitable for giving flue gas ducts long-term corrosion resistance, even at operating temperatures as high as 260 °C: PFA fix point lining

Mechanical processing

Semi-finished products

Semi-finished products are usually further fabricated into finished products. In particular, AGRU's rods, blocks and sheets of various thermoplastics are machined using a variety of techniques to produce components or custom parts. Plastic parts made from semi-finished products are now state of the art in engineering and plant construction. The variety and flexibility of AGRU's semi-finished products provide the necessary pre-products for the manufacture of machined parts with the highest application requirements. From semi-finished products to high precision machined finished parts, AGRU offers solutions and technical advice.

Semiconductor and pharmaceutical industry

Semi-finished products

The semiconductor and pharmaceutical industries place enormous demands on materials and manufacturing processes, including the highest levels of quality, safety and purity. AGRU's many years of experience in these applications means that we are well aware of the challenges. As a result, AGRU offers a wide range of products with the required quality for these applications. Using proven materials and process technologies, AGRU creates tailor-made solutions for this area where there is no room for error.
