Applications in the chemical industry include sealing pumps, fittings, containers or liquid dosing devices. These require high-performance sealing materials with exceptional resistance to various aggressive chemicals, resistance to extremely high and low temperatures and high mechanical strength. Materials such as FFKM (e.g. ECOLAST®, PERLAST®, SIMRIZ®, KALREZ®) or FKM, FEPM HNBR are often used here.
There is a clear focus in chemical process technology: outstanding resistance. From the dosing system to the reactor, from the valve to the tank, the seals used are always required to have outstanding resistance to chemicals, temperature extremes or pressure.
