Encapsulated O-Rings
Structure:
- ● Core: Provides resilience and compression (usually FKM for chemical resistance or silicone for low-temperature flexibility).
- ● Encapsulation: A FEP (fluorinated ethylene propylene)or PFA (perfluoroalkoxy) outer shell offers excellent chemical and thermal resistance.
- ● Excellent Chemical Resistance: Inert to most aggressive chemicals, acids, and solvents.
- ● Wide Temperature Range: Typically from –60°C to +260°C(–76°F to +500°F), depending on materials used.
- ● Low Friction Surface: Smooth PTFE outer layer resists sticking and eases installation.
- ● Non-contaminating: Suitable for hygienic or cleanroom environments.
Applications:
- ● Chemical Processing Equipment
- ● Pharmaceutical & Food Industries
- ● Semiconductor Manufacturing
- ● Paint and Ink Production
- ● Cryogenic Systems
Advantages:
-
- ● Combines elasticity with chemical inertness
- ● Non-stick and easy to clean
- ● Withstands aggressive media and extreme temperatures
Encapsulated O-rings are ideal when standard elastomers fail due to chemical attack or temperature extremes, offering a reliable and durable sealing solution in the harshest environments.
