Detailed Product Description

Encapsulated O-rings

Encapsulated O-rings combine the qualities of PTFE with Viton® or Silicone Rubber. They have an outer jacket of PTFE-FEP protecting the resilient core from virtually all chemicals. The rubber core is totally encapsulated by PTFE-FEP and this unique combination enables encapsulated o-rings to give maximum protection against leaks in a wide range of sealing applications. PTFE has always been recognized as an indeal, chemically resistant, sealing material but it lacks elasticity. The Viton® or Silicone rubber core provides this missing element of memory, together with exceptionally good resistance to compression set, even at high temperatures

Encapsulated O-rings can be used in the following applications:
Mechanical Seals (able to solve a wide range of operating conditions from water to petrochemicals)
Tank Valves (wide range of chemical loads by combining quality with reduced maintenance costs)
Valves (exceptional performance, in contact with steam, air, gases, and toxic compounds)

Flowmeters (successful in Fuel Oil Tankers carrying industrial and domestic heating oil, and in refineries on solvent lines)

Other applications include:
Pipeline Joints
Hose Couplings
Glassware
Laboratory Equipment
Food Processing
