In specific application areas with agressive media and high temperatures, standard elastomers like NBR, Viton® or EPDM cannot stand up to the requirements anymore. KUBO produces seals made of FFPM/FFKM Prolast-O® for the highest requirements on its own premises in Effretikon, near Zurich.
In specific application areas with agressive media and high temperatures, standard elastomers like NBR, Viton® or EPDM cannot stand up to the requirements any more.
Perfluorelastomers are top-class materials. They are extremely resistant against acids, amines, bases, ultra-pure de-ionized water, vapour, solvents and detergents. Even at high temperatures, seals made of Prolast-O® remain operational and therefore prolong the maintenance intervals and increase safety.
With our many years of experience and our vast stock of tools we can produce the required seal within a short time.
