Sea water is highly corrosive towards most materials, and is alkaline in its nature.

Around 97% of the water on our planet is saline. Seawater contains approximately 96.5% water, around 2.5% salts, and around 1% of other dissolved substances such as magnesium, bromine, and sodium chloride of which can be harvested from our oceans.

The pH of seawater is around 8, though this may vary depending on region or depth, and is alkaline due to dissolved basic minerals and the natural buffering from carbonates and bicarbonates in sea water.

This can pose many challenges when working with, in, or near seawater or coastal and marine environments.

Titanium has a long proven record as being the superior material in relation to seawater applications, providing excellent anticorrosion properties, high strength, and being around 40% lighter than stainless steel or brass.

In short, titanium is accepted worldwide as the first choice material in marine applications.

Praemisit Resources Ltd offer both the design and manufacture of many marine applications, including valves, pump bodies, piping, couplings, impellers and also unique custom equipment, all manufactured from Titanium to withstand this harsh environment.

We are able to create a single prototype, and also offer a mass production service, or on-going supply of parts made in most materials, including Titanium.
