Introduction to Perfluoroelastomers (FFKM)
The use of elastomers is widespread in our world. Elastomers have many uses including: sealing fluids, for tires, in chemical plants, in semiconductor manufacturing equipment, for dust and moisture seals on cell phones, and seals on aircraft engines.
Perfluoroelastomers for the Semicon Industry
Seals made from perfluoroelastomers have become more common in the semiconductor industry due to their high temperature capabilities and lower contamination and chemical resistance. Download this guide to learn more.
High Performance Elastomer Seals for Instrumentation
While standard elastomers are used in many applications, some instrument seals are subjected to high temperatures, harsh chemicals, and/or aggressive cleaning solutions. Click download to learn about In-Line Process Applications, Laboratory Equipment, and much more.
Failure Modes of Elastomers in Semicon Industry
Perfluoroelastomers used in the semiconductor industry are designed to meet the exacting performance requirements of integrated circuit manufacturers. But elastomers can’t solve every sealing application, nor do they last forever.
Expansion Joint Design Guide
Expansion joints are built to expand, contract and adjust without straining or breaking piping or ducting, essentially protecting a piping system from damage.
There are several factors to consider when selecting an expansion joint, which is why we’ve created our Expansion Joint Design Guide. Click download to learn more.
Rubber EJ Surveys & Failure Analysis
This guide discusses the importance of inspecting your plant's expansion joints. Proper design and maintenance of rubber EJ's play a major role in the overall preservation and lifespan of a piping system.
It will also discuss failure analysis of rubber expansion joints and some of the leading causes of joint failure.
