Kalrez® TriLobe™ Seals

Kalrez® TriLobe™ Seals


Description

DuPont has developed a seal design to improve seal life in dovetail grooves. This design combines the excellent chemical, thermal and plasma resistance of DuPont™ Kalrez® perfluoroelastomer parts with a unique cross-sectional shape that eliminates many of the problems associated with semi-dynamic seal applications using a dovetail groove. These problems include installation difficulties as well as short seal life and particle generation due to seal wear and degradation.

Features and Benefits

  • Molded notch makes installation a snap!
  • Reduces installation time
  • Avoids improper installation
  • Geometry interlocks in groove to prevent seal from rolling and twisting during installation
  • Bottom lobes lock seal in place to resist pullout and movement during actuation
  • Seal parting lines are maintained below the flange surface, eliminating direct exposure to plasma or process chemicals.
  • Seal design and compound selection combine to yield REDUCED PARTICLE GENERATION and SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASED SEAL LIFE!
