Passivation of Stainless Steel Pipes and Tank

Kepco ICPS Philippines Corp. | November 4, 2025 | Pangasinan Philippines

Passivation is a specialized industrial cleaning and surface treatment process that removes free iron, contaminants, and fabrication residues from stainless steel. We carried out this project to restore and enhance the corrosion resistance of stainless steel surfaces used in critical plant processes.

During installation, welding, or maintenance, stainless steel surfaces can become contaminated with carbon steel particles, oils, or oxides, which weaken the material’s natural protective layer. Passivation chemically restores the chromium-rich oxide layer, allowing stainless steel to resist corrosion, pitting, and premature degradation, which is especially important in humid, coastal, and high-temperature environments typical in the Philippines.

Through this project, the company helped clients extend equipment lifespan, maintain process integrity, and reduce long-term maintenance costs. Properly passivated systems also support compliance with industry standards, ensuring reliable and efficient operations in demanding industrial environments.
