User Benfits
MRK Valves brings value to its end-users through its unique properties and benefits. To learn why click the links below. End-Users Benefits
Saves You Money Immediately
• Longer product life MRK Valves is able to save end users money for several reasons….First because of the extreme corrosion resistance stainless steel body; a MRK Valve typically has a product lifetime that is many times longer than other specialty metals and PTFE. As a result, the replacement cost for a MRK Valves is low.
• Less maintenance A MRK Valve typically requires significantly less maintenance than other materials in highly corrosive environments. Again because of its extreme corrosion resistance, there is less of a need to repair and replace parts.
• Competitive prices Finally compared to other specialty valve solutions, MRK Valve is very competitively priced, usually saving the end user money immediately upon purchase.
Increases Productivity
• Less unscheduled downtime One of the ways we achieve this is through less unscheduled downtime. To put it simply, when processes go down unexpectedly facilities do not make money. Because of our high performance the chances of unexpected downtime due to poor performing products is significantly decreased.
• Consistent product performance Next because our products are typically involved in controlling and monitoring the vitals of a process: the temperatures, pressures, concentration and flow rates when products performance degrades over time, operators and engineers loose the ability to accurately control a process. This leads to process instability and product variability. With MRK, our product perform consistently over time, This allows your facility to produce products that are to specification repeatedly and reliably.
• Allows resources to focus on core business Finally because MRK Valves requires relatively little maintenance, repairs and attention, this allows your maintenance and engineers to focus on more important things to your core business than problem equipment such as valves, fittings and instrumentation.
Improves Safety
• Most corrosion resistant metal commercially available Depending on your processing environment and company culture safety may be a very important part of your materials selection process. MRK Valve is the most corrosion resistant material commercially available

Access to Variable types of valves available
. MRK Valve solution represents an easy way to open up the specialty metals market to Manufactures of stainless steel products immediately and requires no investment in special equipment, skilled labor or materials.
Reduce Costs
• Ability to Utilize Existing Stainless Steel Inventories In many cases distributors or OEM's would like to stock a part in several different materials. However with today's cost of metals, this has been prohibitive and has led to long product lead times. With MRK Valves only one material needs to be stocked for nearly all corrosive environments and that is stainless steel. In this scenario stainless steel could be used for most mildly aggressive environments. If the application requires higher corrosion resistance than stainless steel, the same stainless steel part could be treated in the process while maintaining the original part tolerances and dimensions. By upgrading the stainless steel part the manufacture (OEM) or distributor could serve nearly all corrosive applications with one standard stainless steel Product.
• Manufactures of Specialty Metals can Reduce Costly Inventories Every efficient company is looking for ways to reduce inventories. By using MRK Valves there is little need to stock costly inventories of specialty metals. This allows your business to free up cash and eliminates the risk and headache of specialty metal price fluctuations.
Improves customer service
• Improved Lead-Times MRK products could typically be produced in 4-6 weeks for even custom parts. We are able to achieve this for several reasons..
1st we utilize commercially available products as substrates
2nd we are able to maintain the original dimensions of the parts
3rd no special fabrication is needed
This makes our lead-times are relatively quick.
Offer a Complete Product Range to Support All of Your Customers' Needs For manufactures that do not produce specialty alloy products, MRK can allow these manufactures to offer a complete product portfolio to cover nearly all corrosive applications. This keeps you customers satisfied with you service and more importantly away from your competition. Additional benefits that MRK brings to end-users and manufacturers.
Quick Lead-Times
MRK products could typically be produced in 3 - 6 weeks for even custom Job Shop products. We are able to achieve this for several reasons.
3-Year Performance Warranty
Performance warranted for most applications MRK Industries warranties its valves performance for period of three years for most applications. For any reason if there is a failure in the Valve due to the poor quality of a MRK product, MRK Industries will either reimburse, re-treat or replace the part (see MRK 3-Year Warranty for more details).
