A new perfluoroelastomer for pumps and valves

| By Chemical Engineering

A new, explosive decompression-resistant perfluoroelastomer has been launched for use in ultra-agressive processing applications. The Perlast G92E elastomer combines high levels of chemical resistance with an increased explosive decompression capability, setting a new performance standard for seals in pumps, valves and other processing eqiuipment exposed to high gas pressures (up to 20,000 psi). The material is suitable for temperatures up to 260°C. — Precision Polymer Engineering Ltd., Blackburn, U.K.
