SODECA ventilation units with enhanced corrosion resistance

Resistance to corrosion and wear is a key factor in ensuring the durability, reliability, and long-term performance of ventilation systems, particularly in installations exposed to demanding environmental conditions.

With the aim of providing equipment designed to operate reliably in aggressive environments, SODECA incorporates Magnelis®-coated steel into its ventilation solutions. This coating technology offers corrosion resistance up to three times higher than conventional galvanised steel, delivering outstanding long-term protection even under the most demanding environmental conditions.

SODECA ventilation units are engineered to deliver reliable operation and a long service life, even in applications exposed to demanding environmental conditions. To achieve this, they feature casings manufactured from Magnelis®-coated steel, a solution that significantly enhances resistance to corrosion and deterioration, including on surfaces, edges, and cut sections.

This enhanced level of protection helps maintain the unit’s performance over time, even in environments exposed to high humidity, airborne contaminants, or corrosive atmospheres. In addition, the coating’s self-repairing properties at cut edges help prevent rust formation, reducing maintenance requirements throughout the service life of the installation.

Ventilation units manufactured from Magnelis®-coated steel are designed for applications in highly corrosive environments, in accordance with the requirements established for the C5 corrosivity category defined in ISO 12944. This internationally recognised standard classifies environments according to their level of corrosivity and serves as a key benchmark for assessing long-term material performance and durability under demanding exposure conditions.

The use of Magnelis®-coated steel also eliminates the need for additional painting processes on the unit casing, simplifying maintenance and contributing to lower lifecycle maintenance costs.

In conclusion, the incorporation of Magnelis®-coated steel into SODECA ventilation units enhances equipment durability and reliability in applications exposed to demanding environments.

The high corrosion resistance provided by Magnelis® coating, together with its self-healing properties and reduced environmental impact, makes these ventilation units a suitable solution for installations requiring high performance, operational continuity, and a long service life.
