Advanced AquaPLEX LDX-2101: The Solution to Scale and Corrosion Failures in Water Heaters

Discover the revolutionary AquaPLEX LDX-2101 alloy by Outokumpu, specifically engineered to combat scale and corrosion in drinking water and sewer systems. With a remarkable structure that activates the chromium oxide barrier during the acid pickling and passivation process, AquaPLEX is impervious to chloride stress cracking. This innovative material not only enhances the life expectancy of commercial water heaters but also significantly reduces the estimated $300 billion annual cost of corrosion failures. Available since April 2006, AquaPLEX offers proven tensile and yield advantages over traditional materials.
