✦ Synopsis
Encapsulated elastomers are designed for quick release
Dichtomatik has introduced a range of encapsulated gaskets for use with cam-lock and quick release pipeline couplings.
They are manufactured from either square or rectangular elastomer core material of silicone or fluorocarbon and encapsulated in a uniform 0.02 inch thick wall of virgin teflon-FEP resin. This combination is designed to eliminate premature seal failure resulting from chemical attack, while maintaining leak-free fluid transfers with continuous sealing contact achieved with the energizer core. The non-stick coating also helps with installation, prevents product adhesion and simplifies clean-up procedures.
The new seals are designed to provide sealing integrity under adverse conditions of chemical and thermal attack, even where subject to continuous closure/release operations. Typical applications include fuel transport and distribution systems, distillation, printing and marking, marine discharge, pulp and paper production as well as sewage and effluent treatments. The materials are also FDA and USP class VI compliant, making them suitable for pharmaceutical, cosmetics and food treatment operations.
