Tantaline, producer of tantalum surface alloys for valves, fittings, instrumentation, and custom products in hot acid environments, recently announced the opening of its new production facility located in Norborg, Denmark. The expansion marks the company's second production facility and will produce Tantaline's corrosion-resistant line of products through its innovative tantalum vapour technology.

The technology involves heating and reacting pure tantalum metal to produce a gaseous atmosphere of tantalum. The tantalum vapour forms an alloy bond on any standard steel part, resulting in the most corrosion-resistant material commercially available that is also priced competitively to nickel alloys. At 5,300 sq ft including a state-of-the-art reactor system, Tantaline's new production facility increases its capacity significantly.
