Starting in 1991 CSI has developed a complete line of sanitary fittings and tubing made of AL-6XN^® alloy for the processing industries. Many food, beverage, and biotech processes flow through AL-6XN piping because of its outstanding resistance to corrosion.

AL-6XN alloy is a super-austenitic metal designed to resist crevice corrosion, pitting, chloride-induced corrosion, and stress corrosion cracking. It can also withstand alkaline and salt solutions, protecting against metallic contami-
nation of product and preventing rapid degradation of the fluid transfer system.

AL-6XN alloy was originally developed
for seawater applications. This "super alloy" resists the attack of corrosive food and beverage products such as: sports drinks, ketchup, soy and barbecue sauce, and salsa. It is also used successfully in chemical, API, cosmetic, brewery, desalination, semi-conductor, aerospace, biopharm, pulp and paper, and gas handling applications.
