Salt and Metal: Not a Match
Humid, salty air can quickly corrode metal, damaging appliances necessary to the functioning of your business. Polypropylene is resistant to corrosion from the elements over time, which is why we’ve specially designed ventilation systems out of this material.
To maintain a safe and clean environment for your guests and staff, it’s important to invest in a reliable ventilation system specialized for your environment.
Here are some of the risks associated with a poor ventilation system:
1 Exposure to harmful gasses and chemicals
Workers in the maritime industry are exposed to a wide range of hazardous gasses and chemicals, including carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, and nitrogen oxides, which can have serious health effects if not properly ventilated.
2 Fire and explosion hazards
The use of flammable materials such as fuels and chemicals in the maritime industry poses a significant risk of fire and explosion if not properly ventilated.
3 Corrosion and rust
Humidity and saltwater exposure in marine environments can cause corrosion and rust on equipment, leading to potential safety hazards and expensive repairs.

Corrosion & Chemical Resistant, Explosion Proof Fans
XP Blowers
Built with explosion-proof materials, blowers designed to work in highly corrosive air exhaust applications containing potentially explosive atmospheres.
Plastec Series
Lightweight polypropylene blowers resistant to acids and corrosion, perfect for, but not limited to, fume hoods, chemical storage, laboratories and HVAC exhaust.
Storm Series
High static, low flow blowers ideal for acid tank ventilation, commercial washers and chemical cabinets, offering chemical resistance and UV protection.
Jet Series
Versatile inline centrifugal blowers for harsh environments, featuring a polypropylene weather hood and motor outside the airstream. Can be roof mounted or wall mounted.
Save on Maintenance
Calling in your maintenance team for a clunky and outdated fume extractor can cost you time, focus, and money. Plastec appliances are easy to install and made to last, helping you reduce overall operating costs, including downtime from maintenance and repair.
Benefits of Polypropylene Ventilation
1 Consistently Clean Air
With an industry standard, reliable air ventilation system, you can have peace of mind that even in close quarters, the air you breathe is safe.
2 Resistant to Humidity
Maritime environments are necessarily humid, leaving metal appliances at risk of rusting. Plastec is made of an alternative thermal plastic material called polypropylene, which won’t corrode, degrade, or rust over time.
3 Cost-Effective
Plastec Ventilation is one of the few manufacturers specializing in corrosion-resistant HVAC accessories, using a material that’s much more affordable and energy-efficient than industry alternatives.
Inquire with a Consultant
Finally, it is worth noting that a Plastec Ventilation system is designed to be durable and long-lasting, even in harsh maritime environments. This means that it can withstand the corrosive effects of salt water and other environmental factors, ensuring that it remains an effective solution for improving air quality and safety on board.
