Highest quality PTFE seals

PTFE has been widely used as the main sealing material and filling material. PTFE is a kind of synthetic polymer material. The main base of PTFE is carbon atom. And the fluorine atom is evenly distributed around the carbon atom and forms the compact protective screen. Therefore, PTFE has the very excellent physical mechanical property. It can not only resist the strong acid, strong alkali and strong oxidant but also can bear high temperature. To some degree, its property surpasses the property of glass, ceramic, stainless steel and gold. Its working temperature ranges from-100 to 100 Celsius degrees.

As a kind of sealing material, PTFE is applied by different ways. The good corrosion resistance, stable physical property and temperature endurance make contribute to its excellent sealability. As a result, it is very applicable in the following industries, such as oil, chemical, electric and steel. The applicable media are also in a wide range, including water, oil, acid liquid and other chemical liquid. PTFE seals are typical applications for the PTFE material.

In terms of machinery, you really cannot take chances with performance, as a lack of it will certainly reflect badly on manufacturing methods. Whether you're isolating vibration in industrial machinery or creating products for another industry, maintaining your reputation for quality is of paramount importance. In addition, you'll find that using the highest quality rubber components in your products will help increase your reputation. When your customers know they can count on your products, a long-term relationship can be founded, which is an essential consideration for growth and profitability.

Reliable and sustainable doughnut shaped O-rings

O-rings are a kind of doughnut shaped rubber seal ring with a circular section used for sealing solutions. Owing to its round section, it is also called O-shaped seal ring. This ring is one of the common seal elements in the fluid pressure and gas pressure transmission system. It is mainly used in the static seal and the alternative motion seal.

O-rings have high tolerance to radiation as well as high vacuum, and are generally used for flanged applications. Ideally, O rings are placed in both open and closed grooves and axial pressure is applied between two parallel surfaces. When purchasing an O-ring, the factors like its inner diameter and lead wire diameter, section diameter of the section gasket, the number depicting its standard and its year of manufacture have to be kept an eye over.

An O-ring is mainly applied in the static seal and the alternating motion seal. If it is used in the rotating motion seal, it will be limited by the seal equipment with low rotating speed. On basis of the material of this seal ring, it can have the good seal effectiveness and at the same time it can reduce the shock in some harsh environments, such as chemical liquid, oil, acid liquid and many more of the likes.

Whether it's the flow of liquid or air, Orings are exceptionally effective in making the seal highly efficient. The quality of the seal plays a pivotal role and the manufacturers must take extra care while choosing the raw materials and production techniques. Oring to the unique features, an O-ring is widely used in a lot of industries, such as machine tool, boat, automobile, metallurgical machinery, chemical machinery, engineering machinery, building machinery, plastics, agriculture and different instruments. With high tech solutions and advanced methods, the kind of sealing devices from Darcoid Nor-Cal Seal are immensely satisfactory and offer desired results every time the product is used for varied industrial usage.

Darcoid Nor-Cal Seal provides O-rings which are highly cost effective, have high production rate sourcing to the highest technologies of perfluoronated elastomers like Parofluor, Parofluor ULTRA, Kalrez, Chemraz, Simriz and Perlast. A single O-ring can play an important role in two directions' seal and is applicable for different seal media such as oil, water, gas, chemical medium and other mixed media. The uniqueness of these O-rings from the house of Darcoid Nor-Cal Seals makes the product reliable and sustainable.

Seals that are fabricated with tight tolerance

Hollow orings are used as sealing elements, as energizing elements for hydraulic slipper seals and wipers and thus cover a large number of fields of application. Hollow orings offer a low closure force alternative to solid orings. As required for many lids and doors, hollow orings are used in applications that require the seal to stay in the groove while not overfilling the gland or warping the enclosure lid or door. Hollow orings consist of an elastomer inner ring and a seamless sheath which surrounds the elastomer ring. Similar to PTFE orings hollow orings are used wherever the chemical resistance of normal elastomer orings are not sufficient. The required elasticity is provided by the elastomer ring, the chemical resistance by the seamless sheath.

Hollow orings are chemical resistant, a wide range of thermal stability, low permeability and low friction. Hollow orings are especially useful for these applications. Enclosures that use flat-panel sealing are not typically fabricated with tight tolerances and are often made from thin metal or plastic. And large enclosures are more susceptible to leakage due to tolerance-gap runout along the sealing perimeter. Low closure force may also be desirable to decrease the loading on hinges and fasteners.

Encapsulated hollow seals consist of an elastomer inner ring and a seamless sheath which surrounds the elastomer ring. Similar to PTFE Orings encapsulated and hollow seals are used wherever the chemical resistance of normal elastomer Orings are not sufficient. The required elasticity is provided by the elastomer ring, the chemical resistance by the seamless sheath.

There are no fields of industry where hollow seals are not used. From an individual seal for repairs or maintenance to a quality assured application in aerospace, automotive, pharmaceuticals or general engineering. Darcoid Nor-Cal Seal is a world class supplier of hollow seals and other rubber, sealing elements.

All industries right from automotive, mechanical, pharma and many other industries choose hollow seals as well as hollow orings for their utility in the associated area. With years of experience and first rated facilities provided by Darcoid Nor-Cal Seals, their sealing solutions have witnessed tremendous rise in their popularity. The hollow orings and hollow seals, apart from parker orings are the most preferred options for engineering professionals across the world for all their sealing demands.
