Description
An encapsulated O-ring comprises an elastomer energising core, which has a seamless jacket made from fluoropolymer. The elastomeric core may be Fluorocarbon (Viton/FPM or Silicone). The jacket is made from Teflon® F.E.P. (Fluorinated - ethylemnbmbnne - propylene).
Temperature Range
- FEP Viton temperature range -20°C to 204°C (Intermittant)
- FEP Silicone temperature range -60°C to 204°C (Intermittant)
Recommended temperature range -30°C to +170°C
Why Encapsulated?
There are certain applications which prohibit the use of conventional rubber O-ring Seals. The use of hostile chemicals or extreme temperature (both high and low) during various processes can make effective sealing very difficult.
