Today, in this growing economy companies look for innovative products and solutions that are no only cost effective but reliable as well. Sealing technology is one of major processes that require frequent evolution. Nowadays, high temperature seal in widely used for its numerous properties. It is often found that elastomers deteriorate gradually in case they kept on high temperature for long time.
The selection of right material is very much important because it determines the heat resistant and chemical resistant properties of the seal. The use of perfluoroelastomers and high performance elastomers has significantly changed the performance of high temperature seal. The major benefit is that it has outstanding mechanical and chemical properties. Moreover, these highly efficient elastomers are FDA, USP Class VI and 3A compliance.
There are various other advantages of using high temperature sealing such as enhanced machine/equipment output, reduced downtime, improved process conditions, reduced process contamination, and decreased cost of ownership.
These high performance perfluoroelastomers used have been specifically developed for high temperature sealing and are capable enough to perform at temperatures up to 325°C (617°F) and 320°C (608°F) respectively, whilst maintaining outstanding chemical resistance. These elastomers pose superior mechanical properties that set them apart from ordinary high temperature perfluoroelastomers. Their low compression set properties refers that they are capable of retaining their chemical resistance in spite of being mechanically frazzled.
