Thermal and chemical resistance of Orings

Oring to its high strength, durability, low maintenance, ease of availability, good conducting properties, metal is used widely in almost every industrial sector. Metal is used in many forms like pipes, sections, wires, rods, sheets, etc. In many of the industries metal pipes or hollow sections are used to convey fluids (gases or liquids) from one place to another.

Just as the function of a sealant is to prevent leakage or to seal any openings there are materials whose purpose is to isolate thermal environments from each other on its two sides. Hot and cold Insulation materials are used to provide a layer of insulation which reduces or minimizes the heat flow. Besides good thermal resistance good hot and cold insulation materials have properties like being inert to a wide range of chemicals (high chemical resistance), physically stable or tough, etc. Depending on the need, a suitable hot and cold insulation material is used to provide thermal barrier.

Hollow seals 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 O-Rings hollow O-Rings are used wherever the chemical resistance of normal elastomer O-Rings are not sufficient. The required elasticity is provided by the elastomer ring, the chemical resistance by the seamless sheath.

Advantages of hollow seals are that they are chemical resistant, a wide range of thermal stability, low permeability and low friction. Hollow seals are used as sealing elements, as energizing elements for hydraulic slipper seals and wipers and thus cover a large number of fields of application. Encapsulated hollow seals consist of an elastomer inner ring and a seamless sheath which surrounds the elastomer ring. Similar to PTFE O-Rings encapsulated and hollow seals are used wherever the chemical resistance of normal elastomer O Rings 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 or general engineering. Hollow seals are used to seal the joints between two metal parts or to seal any openings. These sealants are used widely in many industrial and commercial areas. Darcoid Nor-Cal Seal is a world class supplier of hollow o-rings and other rubber, sealing elements.

Chemical compatibility to the media to be sealed against (including flushes and system cleanouts). There are many different fluids and gases to seal against, and many different choices of gasket materials to seal against them. The internal pressure of the fluid should be a determining factor in choosing a gasket sealing material. If severe cycling or pressures changes occur frequently, a more robust material may be required. Application of this includes all factors such as the number, grade and size of bolts to create compression and the surface areas of the sealed joint. For EMI gaskets, this includes the amount of EMI and RFI shielding required. Darcoid Nor-Cal Seal's die cut gaskets and seals offer long term sustainability, excellent wear performance, complete material traceability and easy installation.

Highest quality rubber sealing components

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 sealing ability. 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. As its name implies, PTFE seals are made through cutting the PTFE rod, pipe or plate. The main material is PTFE and so this gasket naturally inherits all features of PTFE. It includes flat gasket, V-gasket, piston ring and ball valve gasket.
