Dynamic Applications – DA
PTFE – black or gray
- Well-finished surface
- Metal sliding surfaces
Limited Dynamic Applications – BA
PTFE – transparent (two components)
- Suited for plastic sliding surfaces
- Smooth surface finish
Assembly Aid – MA
PTFE-FDA compliant (one component)
- Reduction of press-in forces
- Low surface adhesion
Easier Assembly – ME
PTFE-ME (one component)
- Avoids sticking
- Automatic processing
Chemical Resistance – CB
- Coating with: silicon, PTFE
- Improvement of chemical resistance
Surface Cleaning (“labsfree”) – LA
- Silicons and other adhesive-repelling substances are completely removed.
- After this process, the cleaned parts are definitely “labsfree”.
- This method can be used for all compounds except MVQ and MFQ.
- O-rings that get in contact with paint or are installed in paint facilities have to be “labsfree”.
Fluoroelastomer Coating – FL
- Fluoroelastomer coatings create a flexible, thin coat, which significantly reduces the coefficient of friction.
- Please note: This method can only be used for NBR and EPDM compounds.
- This treatment helps avoid sticking and improves separation.
