Acid and alkali-resistant seals

Acid and alkali-resistant seals for highest demands

Acid and alkali-resistant seals have to resist aggressive media and high pressures. At our company, the modern flat seals (2D-objects) are manufactured out of diverse resistant materials, in various sizes and individually custom-made on demand.

Properties and benefits of our seals resistant to alkalis and acids

Depending on the material mixing and the cross-linking of elastomers, the usual operating temperatures of our alkali and acid-resistant seals are between -30 °C and +120 °C. Additionally, the flat seals compensate the unevenness in flanges. They are highly resilient and easy to install.

Summary of properties and benefits:

• resistant to acids and alkalis
• flexibly usable
• quickly installed
• wear-resistant
• highly resilient
• temperature-resistant
• individual manufacturing possible at any time

Materials

As sealing materials we use some Klingersil variants and in particular elastomers like silicones, closed-cell natural rubber, ethylene propylene diene rubber (EPDM) and chloroprene rubber (CR).

Areas of application

A typical area of application for our acid and alkali-resistant seals are the chemical industry and facilities operating by hydraulics or pneumatics. Here aggressive media and high pressures are used, so that flat seals out of acid and alkali-resistant sealing material contribute decisively to the security of humans and environment and to a reliable system operation. Also in agricultural businesses as well as in dairies, alkali and acid-resistant flat seals are of great importance, for example for dairy pipes.
