Frequently Asked Questions
An elastomer is a polymer material with rubber-like elasticity that can deform and recover, making it highly suitable for sealing applications. Elastomers are sythentic Rubber that allows a wide range of applications to serve different range of temperature & chemical applications.
Their elasticity, recovery, and sealing behavior make them effective for preventing leakage of fluids and gases.
They are used in O rings, hydraulic seals, rod seals, piston seals, shaft seals, and many other industrial sealing applications.
Yes, selected compounds are available with food-contact approvals.
The main factors are temperature, pressure, chemical compatibility, abrasion resistance, and the type of motion or sealing environment.
Material selection depends on operating temperature, speed, media compatibility, pressure, and environmental conditions.
Yes, specific compounds such as FKM, FFKM, MVQ (Silicon Rubber) and EPDM, provide excellent chemical resistance.
