This animation shows the benefits of using Perlast® perfluoroelastomer (FFKM) O-rings, from Precision Polymer Engineering, in mechanical seals. The most critical O-rings provide a static seal between the rotary rings and shafts, and also between the stationary rings and the equipment casing. These O-rings are often exposed to aggressive process media, so careful selection of O-ring material is essential. Find out how Perlast® can provide class-leading performance in mechanical seals ....
