KATON®4000 SERIES

 

Temperature Range: -5°C to +200°C

                                                                                                                                          

Features:
 FEPM-P(AFLAS®) O-Rings are highly unique, offering excellent resistance to steam and a broad range of chemicals and fluids, including aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, acids, alkalis, various alcohols, and even low-molecular-weight ketones, esters, and aldehydes. It meets FDA food contact standards. Pharmaceutical and food manufacturers often use EPDM or silicone rubber, but while EPDM provides excellent steam resistance, its chemical resistance is relatively poor. In comparison, KATON® FFKM series materials offer superior properties.

Chemical Resistance:

KATON® FEPM-P(AFLAS®) series O-rings use peroxides for polymerization and differ from FFKM by utilizing a protective monomer "P". Although it offers slightly lower chemical resistance (70% of FFKM and 90% of Viton® ETP), it is significantly more cost-effective. For environments with moderate demands, KATON® FEPM-P(AFLAS®) Series provides an optimal balance of cost and performance.


MAXMOLD® KATON® FEPM-P(AFLAS®) O-Ring elastomers offer the highest levels of heat and chemical resistance, making them ideal for the most demanding chemical sealing applications.

Chemical Sealing Solutions:

These elastomers provide superior sealing for pumps, valves, mechanical seals, pipe fittings, and reactors, meeting or exceeding industry requirements.
Extreme Environment Performance: Designed for stringent chemical applications, KATON® FEPM-P(AFLAS®) O-Ring elastomer seals are molded from high-grade materials that withstand extreme temperatures and aggressive chemicals.
KATON® FEPM-P(AFLAS®) O-Rings (Tetrafluoroethylene Propylene, FEPM) are fluoropolymers produced by Asahi Glass Co., offering excellent resistance to various corrosive chemicals.

KATON®4000 SERIES O-RINGS

  • KATON®4000 SERIES - FEPM-P(AFLAS®)
    The KATON®4000 SERIES product line is designed for the chemical processing industry, requiring high-performance sealing materials that exhibit outstanding chemical resistance to various corrosive media. Various markets within this industry, including petrochemical and pharmaceutical sectors, demand excellent chemical sealing performance, reliability, and extended service life, thereby prolonging the preventive maintenance cycles of mechanical seals.

  • Widely used in oilfield applications and known for its electrical resistance properties. This elastomer is a copolymer of tetrafluoroethylene (TFE) and propylene, providing outstanding chemical resistance across a variety of corrosive environments. It is recommended for use with oils and lubricants, hydraulic and brake fluids, transmission and power steering fluids, sour gas (H2S), amine corrosion inhibitors, ozone, steam, acids, alkalis, alcohols, and various other chemicals.
