Seals

Seals are fundamental components of various technical applications. They protect elements or transitions between components against the ingress of undesirable substances. They are also used to seal liquid-transporting vessels and pipes. Due to their wide range of applications, gaskets differ in their shape, material and hardness.

Seals are subject to special requirements for certain applications, for example in food production or paint manufacturing. They must be able to withstand aggressive media, such as acids, without contaminating them. The seals must then be silicone-free and acetone-resistant.

Implementation FDA-Viton® gaskets are suitable for applications that are compliant with the European standard. These are fluoroelastomers from the US company DuPont Performance Elastomers. This material is characterized by high thermal and chemical resistance. The generic term for materials of this type is fluororubber (FKM according to DIN ISO 1629). However, the product name Viton® is more common.

PTM offers its products with different seals - with silicone-free, acetone-resistant or Viton® seals to suit the application.
