Naylor Hathernware
Naylor Hathernware is the world's leading manufacturer of thermal shock and chemical resistant vitrified clay.
Extensive research and development have enabled Naylor to specify, select and blend ceramic materials to withstand sudden temperature changes with substantial resistance to chemical attack.
Highest performance ceramics are used at Naylor to manufacture components for use in specialist underground drainage systems and also in industrial applications.
Hathernware Ceramic Characteristics - Thermal Shock Properties
By far the biggest single threat to ceramic pipes in the process industry is temperature change. When the pipeline is regularly subjected to a rapid change in temperature, the ceramic body can quickly be destroyed by thermal shock. Hathernware is the only ceramic material suitable for use in the areas which are subjected to intermittent discharges of hot and cold effluents such as hospital sterilisation units, boiler blow down drains, laboratories, food processing and beverage production drainage systems with temperature changes of up to 120 deg c.
Chemical Resistance
The legal obligations imposed upon companies by the Environmental Protection Act 1990 have resulted in increasing awareness of the potential discharge impact of industrial effluents into ground water or rivers. This has led to an increasing trend for 'worst-case' scenarios to be desgined into the structure of buildings such as food processing, pharmaceutical and research laboratories, hospitals and process plants. This is especially applicable to drainage installed below the main floor slab, where future repair or process amendment would prove prohibitively expensive.
Hathernware "Thermachem" pipes and fittings can be used to handle most chemicals and aggressive discharges. The chemical resistance chart in this website details the resistance of "Thermachem" to a range of chemicals.
