FEP/PFA Encapsulated O-Ring FluorCap

FluorCap O-Ring Encapsulated in FEP/PFA by FluorTecno
FluorTecno produces its own line of encapsulated O-Rings FluorCap TM, characterized by high quality materials and long life. These O-Rings are produced in accordance with AS/BS standards and on customer request, using an innovative vulcanization technology that supports diameters from 1.78 mm up to 31.5 mm without dimensional limits.

Benefits of FluorCap™
FEP/PFA encapsulated O-Rings combine the elasticity of an elastomeric inner core, such as black Viton®, White Silicone FDA or EPDM, with a rigid outer shell made of FEP/PFA that offers total chemical resistance. This configuration allows them to operate in extreme conditions, with temperatures from -80°C to +230°C, effectively resisting aggressive chemicals such as fuels, solvents, acids and steam.
The main properties of FluorCap O-rings include:

• Total chemical resistance to strong acids, bases, solvents and oxidants.
• Capable of operating up to 100 MPa pressure.
• Wide operating temperature range from -80°C to +230°C.
• Low friction coefficients (0.1 - 0.2) and high gas resistance.
• Elastic return greater than 90% after compression.
• FDA and UE10/2011 approvals for food and pharmaceutical applications, ensuring product safety and chemical inertia.

With simple technical steps, traditional elastomer or rubber O-rings can be replaced by encapsulated O-rings, thus improving the performance of static seals. It is essential to prepare the mounting surfaces of the O-rings carefully to ensure a long service life and optimal seal. Recent application tests have shown that correctly dimensioning O-Rings encapsulated in FEP and PFA reduces wear and optimizes performance under variable operating conditions.
