Perfluoroelastomer (FFKM) is the most chemically resistant elastomer available and is effectively a rubber form of PTFE. Perlast® perfluoroelastomer grades provide other properties which prove most valuable in critical sealing applications where purity, high temperatures and retention of sealing force are paramount. The Perlast® range of perfluoroelastomer materials are at the leading edge of polymer technology. They have been developed to offer superior sealing solutions with enhanced performance and improved functionality, which is proven in the field (see case studies).

Fluoroelastomers or Fluorocarbons (FKM), widely known as Viton®, are among the most suitable rubbers for continuous use at temperatures of 200°C and up to 300°C for short periods. Viton® is a registered trademark of The Chemours Company. Various grades of Fluoroelastomer are available, depending upon which physical properties such as compression set, flexibility (as in diaphragms) or chemical resistance are required. Both copolymers & terpolymers are widely used.

All materials in the Detectaseal® range are free from animal derived ingredients (ADI-free) and conform to EU regulations EC1935/2004 and EC2023/2006. Available in blue and black, Detectaseal® O-rings have been tested and proven in use at leading pharmaceutical and food manufacturing plants. Fragments of Detectaseal® as small as 2mm can be identified by x-ray and in-line metal detection equipment in process lines.

Silopren* Liquid Silicone Rubber - Momentive’s extensive Silopren liquid silicone rubber is a portfolio of platinum catalyzed materials designed to cure rapidly by heating in standard injection molding equipment. This versatile family of elastomers can deliver solutions to a wide range of applications across multiple industries ranging from automotive to energy and consumer goods to health care.

Nanofluor® elastomers can be considered as hybrid materials, bridging a gap between the low cost of fluoroelastomer (FKM) and high cost of perfluoroelastomer (FFKM) polymer types. The range includes a fully organic ultra-low outgassing material and an inorganic filled grade with unique nano-filler to reduce erosion rates. The nano-filled material provides a chemical inertness only seen in much more costly FFKM grades and been developed for plasma ash or resist strip, chlorine and CxFy based etch processes. Nanofluor® grades provide some of the lowest trace metal contamination levels available from elastomer seals and ultra-low permeation rates.

Viton offers excellent resistance to aggressive fuels and chemicals and has worldwide ISO 9000 and ISO/TS 16949 registration. Viton® is a brand of synthetic rubber and fluoropolymer elastomer commonly used in O-rings and other molded components. We mold Viton O-rings for a variety of applications in the aerospace and industrial markets. Viton® O-rings are ideal in oil field applications where Viton® can resist aggressive properties of natural gas and oils.

DAI-EL differs in its synthetic pathway (production method) from natural rubber, which is synthetized internally in plants, and diene rubber, which uses oil as a raw material, and is a fluoroelastomer that exhibits exceptionally sophisticated qualities.DAI-EL features a tactile sensation that feels good when touched. Because of its extremely high durability due to the performance of the fluorine compound, DAI-El fluoroelastomers have a physical property that resists quality deterioration. This allows the material to maintain its appearance and texture through long-term use.In using Daikin’s own tone technology, an assortment of colors is available.

Chemraz® is a member of the perfluoroelastomer polymer family—polymers of three or more monomers in which all hydrogen positions have been replaced with fluorine. This complete state of fluorination results in outstanding resistance to heat and most chemicals and solvents. The principle monomer of Chemraz is tetrafluoroethylene (TFE); the proprietary second and third perfluorinated monomers are unique to it and confer the balance of the properties it demonstrates. Chemraz’s resistance to steam and significantly improved low temperature properties are it’s hallmark. Chemraz—the ultimate elastomer for demanding oilfield applications—gives excellent sealing performance when exposed to mixes of aggressive chemicals found downhole and is often specified by operators. Special compounds have been formulated for improved resistance to rapid gas decompression and abrasion, giving significant reductions in downtime and maintenance.

Xyfluor® elastomers are highly fluorinated and combine excellent chemical compatibility with low-temperature capability. Performing in temperatures as low as -76°F (-60°C), Xyfluor resists aggressive media such as sour gasses and steam. In particular, it withstands H2S and CO2 better than comparable FKM and FQMV elastomers.

Greene, Tweed's Voraz™ 511, a perfluoroelastomer, combines good resistance to CVD and etch plasmas with low stiction to enhance process chamber efficiency and increase uptime in FPD and solar applications. Additionally, Greene, Tweed's proprietary (patent pending) Extenis® manufacturing process facilitates the creation of large seals such as those used in Gen 5+ slit valve doors and chamber lids. This unique combination of materials properties and design capability make Voraz 511 a highly engineered seal solution that is optimized to reduce the total cost of tool ownership for FPD and solar process equipment.

A unique range of fully organic elastomers ideally suited to thermal, dynamic and specific plasma processes where radical concentrations are generally lower or where inorganic filler systems are undesirable. The Kimura® range of high performance elastomer materials utilize a controlled molecular architecture which provides a unique self-reinforcing polymer structure, providing improved chemical resistance without the use of inorganic fillers of any kind. This high purity material breaks new ground in elastomer technology, developed specifically for aggressive chlorine and CxFy based semiconductor applications. Kimura® elastomers span the range of fluoro and perfluoro (FKM and FFKM) materials and includes unique hybrid elastomers, specifically developed by PPE, for the semiconductor industry, to offer a step-change in sealing performance, surpassing what has previously been achievable for fully organic materials. The high purity of the polymer combined with the absence of inorganic fillers makes Kimura® materials suitable for processes involving lower feature sizes.
