The merger between FTL Seals Technology?s partner company Elring and Venus creates a product portfolio with combined PTFE processing capabilities that rank among the most extensive in the world.
Products include PTFE and PTFE-compounds, thermoset and other high-performance plastics as well as PTFE-composite components, including plastics or metals, with single custom components up to up to 3000mm in size, and an extensive portfolio of standard series.
The products can be found in virtually any industry, including medical technology.
Shaft seals with PTFE-sealing lip are used for sealing rotary shafts.
They are suitable for use in dry operating conditions and with extremely high temperatures.
Sealing and guiding elements for dry-running compressors have exceptionally low friction coefficient when combined with metals - even without lubrication.
Chemically resistant bellows exhibit a wide temperature range from -60 to +200C.
Bellows are suitable for autoclaving and use in food industry applications.
PTFE-tubes are used in medical technology and general industrial applications.
They are chemically resistant to hot vapours and have a temperature range from -200 to +260C.
Single-energised seals are used for sealing reciprocating pistons and rods as well as rotary and swivelling applications.
They exhibit superb chemical resistance against aggressive media.
Isostatically moulded parts and composites are made of PTFE and complementary functional compounds/materials.
Laminates are produced by bonding reinforced PTFE with fabrics, fibres and films or sheets made from ceramics, metal, glass, elastomers or other high-performance plastics.
Porous PTFE parts are used as filters for gases, vapours and fluids in films/sheets, filter elements and diaphragms.
Fully fluorised semifinished products like PTFE, PFA, MFA, PPS, PI, PCTFE, PEEK, Xymon, Glamon are available as rods, tubes, plates, disks and films.
Diaphragms made of pure PTFE or PTFE-composites are chemically and thermally resistant, and exhibit excellent alternating bending properties, even under pressure.
"Whispering" multichannel nozzles provide efficient sound level reduction of hazardous noise generated by applications involving compressed air.
With coatings of PTFE, FPM, silicone or PUR, high performance fuser and feeder rollers are used in high-performance printers.
They are highly temperature resistant and anti-adhesive.
