Seawater Material Specialization & Quality Excellence

At Falcon, the foundation of our seawater specialization is the Science of Corrosion Resistance. Seawater is a living, aggressive medium that causes pitting, crevice corrosion, and biofouling. Our quality process ensures that every valve is metallurgically matched to its specific subsea or splash-zone environment.

The Falcon Advantage: Material Integrity

We utilize High-PREN (Pitting Resistance Equivalent Number) materials to ensure our valves exceed a rating of 40, providing a robust defense against chloride-induced stress corrosion cracking (CSCC).
