Ceetak has released details of a major technological breakthrough in high performance seal compounds.
Seals suit industrial paint systems
Two new sealing compounds are specifically designed to meet the needs of industrial paint systems: Paroflour Quantum perflour rubber compound and Hifluor fluoroelastomer.
The media consisted of a mix of Methylacrylates, Sulphuric acid and Carbon monoxide gas.
The previous best was 61 days pump running time before chemical attack caused a mechanical seal failure, the Parker Hifluor compound achieved in excess of 150 days on the same pump, savings on downtime and mechanical seal replacement were estimated at £63,000 year.
The Hifluor seal offer temperature stability to 260C whilst retaining excellent sealing memory and low compression set.
The seals are available in O Rings, Gaskets and Moulded shapes.
