In 2015, THALETEC introduced a true innovation to the market: CONDUSIST, an electrically conductive glass-lining that solves a central challenge in the operation of glass-lined equipment – the safe dissipation of electrostatic charges. Today, ten years later, CONDUSIST is in successful use worldwide and has established itself as an indispensable technology in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries.
 

Why was CONDUSIST a breakthrough?  (K098)

In glass-lined reactors, vessels, or agitators, electrostatic charges can build up during processes. Without safe dissipation, these charges threaten the integrity of the glass lining.

This is exactly where CONDUSIST comes in:

• The electrically conductive glass-lining dissipates charges continuously and reliably.
• It protects the glass-lining from damage and significantly increases operational safety.
• It greatly expands the range of applications for glass-lined equipment.

Technical Advantages at a Glance

CONDUSIST impresses not only with its conductive properties but also with a set of unique technical features:

• Electrical conductivity over the entire thickness of the glass-lining
• Excellent chemical resistance
• Free of heavy metals, with no catalytic activity
• Pharma-friendly light blue color for reliable visual inspection
• High-voltage and spark testing possible according to DIN EN ISO 28721-1:2020-01
• Suitable for both new equipment and re-glassing of existing vessels
   

A Decade of Trust and Success

Over the past ten years, CONDUSIST has reliably contributed to plant safety and corrosion protection in countless plants worldwide. Many of our customers report a significantly extended service life for their equipment and enhanced process safety.

This makes CONDUSIST more than just a technology – it is a milestone for the safe operation of glass-lined equipment in the chemical and pharmaceutical industries.

Looking Ahead

At THALETEC, we are proud of this achievement, and at the same time convinced that the story of CONDUSIST is far from over. With every new installation and every re-glassing project, we continue to contribute to innovation, safety, and sustainability in process equipment manufacturing.
