SPECIAL  FLUOROPOLYMER-Protected
ELASTOMERIC Gaskets, Seals, and Blankets

FOR PROCESSING: Chlorine, Chlorate,
Ultra-Pure Chemicals, Heavy Chemicals

The  Technology of combining a Special Fluoropolymer to High Quality Elastomers is a benefit in applications with Extreme Corrosive Chemical Conditions and/or high requirements for Ultra-Purity, where either an elastomer with a satisfactory performance doesn't exist, or such elastomers are prohibitively  expensive.

For standard custom  gasketing and other sealing elastomer-based parts, such as diaphragm blankets,  Prince has developed the technology for bonding, encapsulating and enveloping desirable fluoropolymer films to high performance elastomers.

 Prince, through years  of research and developmental testing, has established the criteria in making this technology practical in regards to:  

•  The cross-sectional shapes  that offer the longest life.
•  Reliable design of inside corners on seals.
•  The thickness of Fluoropolymer  Films to eliminate permeation problems.
•  Jointless or reliable welded  designs with a minimum of welds.
•  This technology in most cases is a less expensive alternative than fluoroelastomers.

THE  ELASTOMER - "Panacea"® 6962 Special EPDM, a world-wide proven material, is used for this technology and variations of this stock can also be used where required. 6962 offers a service range of -40° F to 300° F. Other elastomers can be utilized where appropriate.

THE  FLUOROPOLYMER - "Panacea"® F230LP Special PTFE material is ideal  for these applications due to the superior Chemical Resistance of PTFE and Temperature Range of up to 500° F. The Special F230LP material has increased permeation resistance and toughness compared to standard PTFE. Other Fluoropolymers  such as FEP, PFA, PTFE, and F130 can also be utilized where appropriate. The noncontaminating nature of all of these Fluoropolymers make them ideal for ultra-pure applications. Specify: Virgin material when used for ultra-pure applications.
