As industry continues to demand higher performance, designers must seek out alternatives in fluid sealing for reciprocating and rotary service. Spring-energised PTFE seals are emerging from their previous status as an "exotic solution," and becoming the primary choice of equipment designers with critical sealing requirements. This is because the PTFE seals can function at higher operating speeds, higher pressures, higher temperatures, and are more resistant to chemically aggressive fluids than most traditional solutions. This article discusses the technology and applications of these unique sealing devices.
