SublimotionProcess® the technology
SublimotionProcess® is a cutting-edge technology developed by Phibo Industries, designed to provide unparalleled surface treatment for stainless steel and other materials. On this page, we’ll delve into the intricacies of SublimotionProcess®, its objectives and the options available for those interested in implementing this revolutionary technology.
The Objective
Achieving optimal cleanability
At the heart of SublimotionProcess® lies the objective of obtaining surfaces that are not only highly resistant to corrosion but also exceptionally easy to clean. With SublimotionProcess®, achieving an optimal cleanable surface is not just a goal but a guarantee. By projecting specific particles onto the surface of stainless steel, SublimotionProcess® removes all contaminants, resulting in a reconditioned surface that is pristine and ready for use in even the most demanding environments.
The result is a surface with less room for impurities or defilements. And that’s pretty damn noticable.
