FEP/PFA Enacapsulated O Rings
FEP- or PFA-encapsulated O-rings consist of an elastic core (e.g. made of fluoro rubber, FKM or silicone rubber (MVQ)) and a seamless coating of premium fluorinated plastics. The coat reliably seals, while the core ensures the uniform steady fit of the seal.
By comparison with conventional seals made of synthetic elastomer, FEP- or PFA-encapsulated O-rings have extra advantages:
FEP- or PFA-encapsulated O-rings are resistant against most solvents and chemicals and have a very small low friction coefficient.
Chemical Resistivity of FEP/PFA-Encapsulated O-Rings
A seamlessly coat of FEP/PFA on O-ring made of fluoro rubber or silicone rubber. For the chemical resistance the thin coating of FEP or PFA is the relevant material. At normal temperatures, the coating guarantees the resistance against practically all chemicals.
Dimensions:
Encapsulated O-rings can be manufactured in almost any size and we can supply about virtually any diameter and ring thickness. There is however a minimum inner diameter to avoid kinking the FEP- or PFA-coating.
Properties of FEP / PFA-Encapsulated O-Rings
- Solution for high tempreture sealing application
