SEALS - WHERE LEAKAGE CHALLENGES MEET INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS
WHATEVER THE SEALING REQUIREMENT, XERKIN WILL HAVE A SOLUTION

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
  • FEP  -60°C to +200°C  /  PFA -60°C to +300°C
  • pressure resistance up to 70 bar and  up to 200 bar with support ring
  • especially low absorption of alkaline solutions, acids and solvents
  • excellent gliding properties
  • improved dry operation
  • also suitable for a vacuum
  • highest resistance to chemicals
