Reliable sealing for critical industrial applications

In process and manufacturing industries, equipment reliability can’t be left to chance. Perlast® Perfluoroelastomers (FFKM) have been developed to provide exceptional sealing performance in environments where other materials might fail. From O-rings to hygienic gaskets, Perlast® is the name to trust for process industry leaders around the world. Here’s why…

1. UNIVERSAL CHEMICAL RESISTANCE

Perlast® FFKM is chemically inert. In tests and in situ, Perlast® FFKM materials are proven in the most aggressive chemical environments – across process media as well as chemical (CIP) and steam (SIP) sterilisation routines.

2. HIGH TEMPERATURE RESISTANCE

The molecular structure of Perlast® FFKM results in extraordinary stability in high temperatures. Perlast® FFKM can withstand operating temperatures of up to 327°C (620°F). Perlast® FFKM is not only resistant to high temperatures –some grades seal down to -46°C (-51°F)

3. MECHANICAL STRENGTH

The low compression set of Perlast® FFKM means that across both static and dynamic applications, Perlast® FFKM seals can be specified within fast-paced process lines that cannot be undermined by material weakness and unreliability.

4. FULL REGULATORY COMPLIANCE

Perlast® FFKM is certified compliant to important standards across several industries, including food, dairy and pharmaceuticals (FDA, 3-A Sanitary Standards and USP), and energy (NORSOK M710, NACE, ISO23936, and ISO10423).

5. AVAILABILITY

In recent months, the excellent availability of Perlast® FFKM has been a critical factor for equipment operators. An industry-wide shortage of FFKM ingredients has led to significant increases in lead times for major manufacturers and prominent FFKM grades. Perlast® FFKM has remained relatively unaffected by this supply chain complexity. Perlast® FFKM sealing components can be manufactured to order in as little as a month – up to six times quicker than some competitor grades.
