The Carten HiLife ceramic valve series is designed for challenging high purity environments with superior characteristics in the areas of corrosion, abrasion, cavitation, and control:

• Corrosion-Resistant. Ceramics do not react with most chemicals, including strong acids and alkalis.
• Abrasion-Resistant.  Ceramics are almost equivalent to diamonds in terms of hardness and they are highly resistant to wear.
• Cavitation-Resistant.  Unlike stainless steel, they can handle continuous cavitation and high pressure differentials without cracking or wearing down. 
• High Thermal Shock Resistance.  Our mini-control valves
  offer less than 0.2% backlash/stiction, 0.1 second
  average response time, and 0% overshoot.
• Options.  Variations include manual, pneumatic, and electronic
  actuation, diameters from 1/2" to 6", Cv from 23 to 1041,
  and thin-dimension variants to allow for small gaps in pipeline
  or achieve standard lengths.
