Company

Founded in 1978 from Gianni Di Pietro, AiAX Italia Srl has initially supplied services of engineering and marketing in the Airconditioning and refrigeration markets. On the basis of the experence acquired in years of activity in Midde and Far East and in Europe, the AiAX Coatings division has been created with the intent of  studying corrosion protection systems for finned pack heat exchangers, primary source of energy dissipation in units like water chillers, condensing units, dry coolers and similar.

Recently the company has introduced new products of significant ecologic value and new application procedures which project new light in the coil anticorrosion methods.

In particular new water based products (instead of solvent based) have been introduced that offer an excellent protection (certified by saline fog tests) and are ideally positioned for the recently introduced microchannel coils. These coils allow substantial cost savings but are corrosion prone and must be protected. The anticorrosion protection has also energy saving features which are particularly important in a period of macro-economic volatility in which the development of GNP can only be achieved by a reduction of energy costs and an improvement of efficiency of equipment and production facilities.

AiAX Coatings offers an important contribution making it possible the almost always unrealized wish of maintaining the heat exchanger performance equal to that of the first day of operation for a prolonged period of time.

Our innovative water based products

After about two years of tests we have optimized a water based anticorrosion protection which represents a great progress in terms of facility of application and of lack of solvent, often causing an unpleasant smell during the application.
The curing times are also remarkably reduced.
The new protection has the same anticorrosion characteristics of the previous products and it is re-applicable by spraying more than once, if necessary, for the maintenance of the fin edge also directly on site.
The previous solvent based products will be available for some time. The future is however reserved for water based products and therefore the solvent based will be slowly phased out.The colour of the new protection AA Aqua Aero is a light blue, different from the silver colour of the solvent based products and definitely more pleasant to look at.
The water based products, are widely used for Microchannel heat exchangers, completely in aluminum. These exchangers being provided with a reduced thickness are perfectly protected with spray application process.

The traditional solvent based line and the exclusive "Flooding Method"

The solvent based products, further improved, are used for the "Flooding Method" coating which is in absolute the most performing procedure for Round Tube Finned Pack coils.
The "Flooding Method" ensures penetration of the entire finned pack, and then the protection is excellent both against galvanic corrosion and against corrosion by accumulation of pollutant.
After the flooding of the entire finned pack it is normally don a further finishing spraing application to cover the edge of the fins. Double protection by "Flooding Method" and spray is the more serious approach so far experienced for a consistent corrosion protection over time.

Quality and safety certifications

AiAX Italia Srl certified ISO 9001

Quality is a central point in the products and services that AIAX Italia srl offers to its customers and therefore an ISO 9001 certification has been deemed a must.
The ISO 9001 is composed by a series of regulations and guide lines developed by the International Standard Organisation (ISO) which define the requirements in the organisation of a quality system suitable to increase the efficiency in terms of product making and service rendering for a higher customer’s satisfaction.

AiAX Italia Srl certified ISO 14001

The environment, together with the quality, is the other aspect to which AIAX Italia srl has always given a high level of attention in order not only to offer to its customers good products and services but also to contribute to the environmental susteinability.
For this reason AIAX Italia srl has obtained the ISO 14001 certification.
The ISO 14001 certification identifies a Standard of Environmental Policy fixing the requirements of a system of any organisation and is part of the series 14000 developed by “ISO/TC 207”. The standard can be used for the certification or simply as a guide line to establish, actuate and improve the environment management.

The norm ISO 14001, in its second 2004 edition, is explicitly inspired to the model PDCA (Plan-Do-Check-Act), also called Deming Cycle from the name of its author William Edwards Deming.
