A new full colour catalogue with more than 100 pages is now available on the Dichtomatik O-ring range.
Any seal - any time
A new corporate CD-ROM from Dichtomatik is billed as recommended viewing for designers and specifiers in a wide range of engineering fields.
This combination provides resistance to hardening and embrittlement due to the FEP encapsulation, while retaining the mechanical properties of flexibility and elastomeric memory of the core materials, which provides a low compression set.
The O-rings are designed for hostile sealing environments, as they provide a high level of resistance to solvents and most chemicals, with a temperature performance range of -60 to +205C.
Low vapour permeability and minimal water absorption is also achieved.
The FEP encapsulation of the ring is said to have a very low coefficient of friction.
Safety critical industries, or production based on continuous operation can benefit from these cost effective seals, which provide superior sealing for both static and dynamic requirements.
Typical applications include chemical and petrochemicals processing, food, pharmaceutical, polymer and dye production, semiconductor, refrigeration and paint and coating operations.
Seals can currently be supplied in BS sizes from 014 to 475, and standard rings with an inside diameter in excess of 3000mm can be produced with a cross-section of up to and including 20mm.
Large stocks are available in a wide range of sizes for immediate despatch. Request a free brochure from Dichtomatik ...
