Short answer: Pharmaceutical and biotech plants specify 316L stainless, often electropolished, for bioreactors, reactors and clean piping, with Hastelloy for aggressive chemistry, all built for CIP and SIP cleanability and validated against contamination.
At a Glance
Bioreactors and Reactors
Bioreactors and reactors use 316L for a clean, weldable surface, detailed in our Stainless Steel Supplier range and the plate forms in our 316 Plate page; aggressive chemistry adds our Hastelloy Supplier e Nickel Alloy Grades Guide.
Finish and Electropolish
Electropolish gives the smooth, low-particle surface pharma needs, with finish detail in our Surface Treatment Guide e Finishing Coating Guide; welding is in our Stainless Welding Guide.
Clean Piping and Validation
Orbital-welded 316L piping avoids crevices that trap bacteria, and the chemical duty maps to our Chemical Processing Guide; the medical fit is in our Medical Devices Guide.
Certification and Sourcing
Pharma metal ships with full pedigree, verified by our Mill Test Certificate Guide e Quality Inspection Guide, packed per our Export Packing Guide.
