Encapsulated o-rings are o-rings consisting of a seamless and uniform PTFE FEP/PFA encapsulation/jacket which completely encloses a core material of either silicone (FPLTRD70-10) or FKM (Type A) elastomers. The encapsulated O-ring behaves like a highly viscous fluid, any pressure exerted on the seal is transmitted practically undiminished in all directions.
High Chemical Resistance: Chemical attack and swelling are the primary causes of O-Ring failure. encapsulated o-rings are virtually chemically inert.
Outperforms solid PTFE O-Rings: encapsulated o-rings match the chemical and temperature resistance of solid PTFE O-Rings, encapsulated o-rings possess properties of elasticity and recovery which are crucial in many sealing applications.
Economical: encapsulated o-rings economically and effectively replace Kalrez and other exotic O-Ring compounds. encapsulated o-rings will decrease downtime and hence increase profitability wherever corrosive fluids and gases cause premature seal failure.
Wide Temperature Range: encapsulated o-rings withstand breakdown caused by industrial solvents and corrosive materials at elevated temperatures from -60° C/-75° F to +205° C/400° F.
Non Stick Surface: Provides easy cleanup of viscous materials.
Low Coefficient of Friction: .2 on metal. Self lubricating surface.
Sanitary: Eliminates contamination of fluids by elastomers. Sterilizable and autoclavable. FDA compliant, USP Class VI compliant, NSF compliance available for specific applications.
Unlimited Sizes: Available in standard and metric sizes to virtually unlimited larger sizes.
Low Compression Set: encapsulated o-rings consist of either a solid silicone or FKM core encapsulated in PTFE FEP/PFA resin (with .010 to .045 wall depending cross section) which meets or exceeds requirements of L-P389A and ASTM-D-2166.
Encapsulation material:PTFE FEP: Tetraflouroethylene-Hexafluoropropylene.PTFE PFA: Tetraflouroethylene-Perfluoro (Propyl Vinyl Ether).
Core material: Silicone FPLTRD70-10 peroxide cured or FKM Type A elastomers.
Continuous service temperature: FEP 400F /204C., PFA 500F/260C.
Coefficient of friction: .1 to .2 on metal.
Water absorption: <0.01.
Average total shore A hardness:
85-90 shore A for solid silicone core.
90-95 shore A for solid FKM core.
