CHLORINE TRIFLUORIDE Resistant O-Rings and Seals
Chlorine trifluoride, CF3Cl, is a colorless, nonflammable gas that is widely used in etching and cleaning of metals, scientific research and development, and the production of fluorocarbons. It is also used as a propellant for spacecraft.
When exposed to rubber, chlorine trifluoride can cause a variety of failure modes. The highly reactive nature of the gas can cause the rubber to become brittle and crack over time. Additionally, the gas can cause the rubber to become more permeable to other chemicals, leading to further degradation and failure. Chlorine trifluoride can also cause discoloration of the rubber due to the reaction of the chlorine trifluoride with the rubber's polymer chains.
FFKM Perfluoroelastomer
Markez ® high performance perfluoroelastomer O-Rings (FFKM) offer unmatched value for demanding sealing applications. Produced from nearly identical ingredients as higher priced brands, Markez ® compounds are used for high temperature o-rings and high pressure o-rings and chemical resistant o-rings that deliver similar performance to major FFKM brands, with temperature resistance up to 625oF, at a significantly lower cost. Our proprietary processing allow us to supply seals under an inch in size more efficiently. Introduced exclusively to existing customers over 15 years ago, we now have the experience and capacity to offer Markez ® high temperature o-rings and high pressure o-rings to the world.
