Website offers seal compatibility checks

A DP Seals product story
Edited by the Engineeringtalk editorial team Aug 30, 2007

DP Seals' chemical compatibility database provides a first line of enquiry when investigating which rubber polymer to choose.

DP Seals has integrated chemical compatibility checkers into its website.

Users entering one of almost 1650 chemical compounds into the search box immediately receive relevant compatibility performance information against over a dozen common rubber polymers used in seals and mouldings.

Check boxes allow more detailed information on the chosen polymers to be obtained quickly and easily.

"There are very few general chemical compatibility checkers for rubber polymers available on the web, and those that do exist list only a few hundred chemicals at best", comments Andrew Piper, DP Seals' Technical Director.

"Over the years our website has become a Mecca for general information on the common rubber polymers".

"This extremely comprehensive chemical compatibility database further strengthens our commitment to correct materials selection".

Choosing the right rubber polymer for an application is often a compromise between material cost and performance, and higher cost is no guarantee of better compatibility in the presence of a specific chemical compound.

DP Seals' chemical compatibility database provides a first line of enquiry.

As a user enters a chemical name into the search box, the database is already being searched for matches - more characters shorten the list.

Clicking on the compound's full name calls up a chart providing simple performance ratings of the common polymers against the compound together with a price indication.

The user can then compare a broader set of performance parameters by selecting from the listed polymers.
