Teflon® Encapsulated Gaskets Cam Lock Gaskets
Encapsulated Cam Lock Gaskets: M-Cor Inc. Encapsulated Cam and Groove coupler gaskets are used to replace standard Viton , Buna or Epdm gaskets, whenever cam and groove couplers are used in corrosive chemical transport hose applications.
FEATURES:
1. High chemical resistance. Click Here for Chem Resistance Chart
2. Additionally, wide temperature range: -60°C to +205°C.
3. Moreover, low coefficient of friction (0.1 to 0.2) provides a nonstick surface.
4. Sanitary: Eliminates contamination. Also, it is sterilizable, FDA compliant, and USP CLASS VI compliant encapsulation. *See Compliances. Part 177 of 21 FDA Regulation.
5. Furthermore, low/decreased compression set. Click here for Compression Set Blog
Description:
Teflon® Encapsulated Cam Lock Gaskets: Primarily, a crucial part for sealing corrosive fluids within chemical transport hose applications.. Moreover, these encapsulated gaskets are specifically designed and crafted to deliver exceptional results under the pressure of an environment constantly threatened by exposure to chemicals. Hence, gasket core materials are typically made from materials such as elastomers (e.g., silicone, FKM,EPDM ) and so, we encapsulate the elastomer with a .020 tick PTFE-based material, which gives them more chemical resistance and strength.
1. Eliminates Premature Seal Failure: Chiefly due to the Teflon encapsulation, the Encap-O-Lock gasket resists chemical attack.
2. Leak Free Service: A core energizer of either silicone or fluoroelastomer provides a continuous intensive contact with the sealing surfaces.For that reason, the elastomer core energizer eliminates cold flow of Teflon.
3. Non-Stick Surface: Low coefficient of friction provides anti-adhesion properties for easy clean up and
installation.
4. Sterilizable: For use in food processing and pharmaceutical industries.
Advantages
The main advantage of M-Cor Inc.’s encapsulated gaskets is that they can be used in harsh chemical environments without experiencing any kind of degradation. Moreover, with the Teflon® encapsulation, your gasket will act as an impenetrable membrane, effectively preventing any corrosive substances from reaching the elastomer core. Primarily, this design increases the lifespan of your gaskets and ensures that your couplers remain securely sealed. Typically, the construction of these gaskets is done very uniquely to ensure optimal performance under extreme conditions. Therefore, they are widely used in various industrial applications. Additionally, the meticulous engineering behind these gaskets guarantees reliability and efficiency, making them indispensable in sectors where chemical exposure is prevalent. Consequently, industries such as chemical processing, pharmaceuticals, and oil and gas greatly benefit from the enhanced durability and performance of these encapsulated gaskets.
“Typically, applications for these gaskets include being the seal between chemical hose couplers to prevent leaks and contamination,” says Rick Mattera, Sealing Engineer of M-Cor Inc. Therefore, chemical hose couplers are broadly used to transfer aggressive chemicals, solvents, and other hazardous materials. Moreover, PTFE encapsulated gaskets are compounded to application-specific specifications with properties that impart the required resilience and reliability for safe and efficient operation in these demanding applications. As a result, these gaskets ensure a secure seal, thereby enhancing safety and efficiency. Furthermore, their ability to withstand harsh environments makes them an ideal choice for a wide range of industrial applications.
Applications:
Furthermore, the Teflon® encapsulated gaskets are primarily used in the oil and gas industries due to their exceptional effectiveness in sealing applications that require contact with hydrocarbons and other corrosive agents. Additionally, they can cope with high pressures and extreme temperatures, making them suitable for applications in drilling, refineries, and petrochemical plants.
In conclusion, M-Cor Inc.’s encapsulated gaskets remain the engineer’s choice for corrosive-resistant solutions. Moreover, their rugged design and flexibility have made them indispensable to numerous industries. Wherever safety, efficacy, and dependability are demanded by hard-working applications, these gaskets prove their value. Consequently, businesses across various sectors rely on M-Cor Inc.’s gaskets to maintain high standards of performance and reliability.
