When Fiberglass is the Right Material
All FRP static mixer – Finishing mixer- installing connectors, inspection and tagging.
Westfall offers an extensive range of materials including options that meet NSF safety requirements for potable water as well as food, beverage and pharmaceutical applications.
We can mix & match the combination to specifically meet the customer’s needs. The more expensive materials can be applied only where needed, using less costly materials in the base
Many of our customers’ applications are served well by using NSF approved Reichhold Dion® Impact 9102-70 Series fiberglass. It is less expensive than materials such as Hastelloy® or stainless steel, yet has great compression strength.
For example, we shipped a large fiberglass Model 6000, a 30” in NSF approved resin to a California water treatment plant. They chose the material because it was both economical and had good injected chemical resistance.

In-House Expertise
One of the reasons Derakane® is less costly is that we can manufacture the mixers in-house. Our skilled, experienced fiberglass fabricators are masters with this material. Using a carbon steel mold, they can create 100% Derakane® mixers.
They are also adept at applying a Derakane® coating to chosen metal base. Derakane® will be the only substance that will contact the fluids in the pipeline.

High Standards
Our coating process is held to the highest standards. Any breach in the coating would allow the caustic chemicals that are used to purify the water to cause rusting to the metal underneath.
Low Odor
The fiberglass materials Westfall uses are low in styrene content so is less outgassing odor during manufacture.
We recently shipped a 16″ mixer manufactured from NSF 61 approved fiberglass resin (FRP), that will be responsible for mixing sodium hypochlorite with water.
NSF-61 Approved
We recently shipped our largest-to-date fiberglass Model 6000, a 30” in NSF approved resin, that went to a California water treatment plant. They chose the material because it was both economical and had good injected chemical resistance.
