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 Gases 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.

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Calling in your maintenance team for a clunky and outdated fume extractor can cost you time, focus, and money.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
Growing environments are inherently humid, which can accelerate corrosion in traditional metal ventilation equipment if it is not properly protected. Plastec blowers and fans are manufactured from polypropylene, a corrosion-resistant thermoplastic that does not rust when exposed to moisture, making it well-suited for humid agricultural and greenhouse applications. According to the HVAC and Chemical Resistance Handbook for the Engineer and Architect, polypropylene resisted 79% of 109 tested chemicals, compared with 52% for stainless steel, demonstrating its strong resistance to corrosive environments.
3 Cost-Effective
Plastec Ventilation specializes in corrosion-resistant industrial ventilation equipment made from polypropylene. Its resistance to moisture and a wide range of chemicals can help reduce maintenance requirements and replacement frequency compared with corrosion-prone metal alternatives. In addition, polypropylene's lightweight construction can simplify installation and lower handling costs, making it a practical choice for many industrial and agricultural ventilation applications.
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.

Custom Configuration Options
Plastec blowers can be customized to meet the specific needs of each application. They offer a range of options for things like motor type, fan blade design, and control systems, allowing customers to tailor their blowers to their exact requirements.
Voyage with Plastec
Our state-of-the-art line of HVAC accessories is made with polypropylene thermal plastic, which is extremely resistant to salt exposure, humidity, corrosive gasses, and high temperatures. Alternative materials such as fiberglass and stainless steel weigh – and cost – about twice as much as polypropylene. Depending on your needs, our fans can be customized to mount seamlessly on your ship’s roof, walls, or fume hoods.
We know that ventilation needs vary greatly across industries. As a leading supplier in polypropylene fans, we have a strong legacy of finding tailored solutions for a diverse array of clients with unique concerns. When you have questions, Plastec has answers.
