Materials
We use different types of material to ensure the tightness of technical installations. The first one is rubber — natural (NR) or, most often, a synthetic material derived from fossil hydrocarbons.
EPM
EPM
These are special elastomers obtained by copolymerising ethylene and propene in variable proportions. EPM has high oxidation resistance and chemical inertness.
EPDM
EPDM
EPDM rubbers are elastomers and belong to group M of rubbers. The material is sensitive to ageing. This polyolefin is used in all areas of industry.
ERT
Ertalon
A polyamide material. Mechanical strength, wear resistance; used in many industrial sectors.
FEPM
FEPM
Fluoropolymers with "elastic" properties. Thanks to the presence of fluorine, these fluorocarbon elastomers have excellent heat resistance.
FKM
FKM
FKM is a family of fluorocarbon-based fluoroelastomer materials. It is commonly known as fluororubber. They offer additional resistance to heat and chemicals.
GR
Graphite
Graphite is a mineral species. Graphite has many industrial applications, in its natural and/or synthetic forms.
HNBR
HNBR
Hydrogenated nitrile rubbers are a type of special-purpose elastomer. They have greater thermal and chemical inertia than NBRs.
NBR
NBR
Nitrile rubber, also known as Buna-N, Perbunan, acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber and NBR, is a synthetic rubber that is generally resistant to hydrocarbons.
PU
Polyurethane
Polyurethane is a urethane polymer. These plastics have a wide range of applications and are used in a large number of industries. It has good abrasion resistance.
PTFE
Teflon / PTFE
Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE). PTFE is a soft, easily deformable material. It has a high elongation capacity (elastomer-like mechanical properties), but low resistance to stress and radiation. It is resistant to most chemicals, has an extremely low coefficient of friction and remains stable at high temperatures.
VMQ
Silicone
Silicone is a synthetic rubber. Thermal and chemical resistance. High compressibility, high elasticity. Water repellent. Composed mainly of two elements, silicon and oxygen.
