• Sheathing made of PP or PVDF
• Coating with ECTFE (Halar) or rubber coating
• Surface treatment such as ground, polished, nitrided, chrome plated, nickel plated….

The wavelength depends on the operating conditions. Additional storage may be necessary.
The following designs are possible for the mixing paddle:

• Same material as the shaft (standard)
• For jacketed or coated shaft: Mixing vane made of plastic (PP or PVDF) or coated.
