Kalrez Spectrum perfluoroelastomer
O-rings from the DuPont
Performance Elastomers range,
available in the UK from
Dichtomatik, have been used to
minimise the risk of premature seals
failure, increase MTBF times and
significantly reduce costly downtime
for hydraulic clamping systems. The
clamping products were
manufactured by a leading European
manufacturer of heavy-duty systems
for applications in the metals, plastics
and rubber processing industries.

By switching to the Kalrez
Spectrum 7075 sealing parts for their
hydraulic pumps range, the
manufacturer could offer a long-term
resistance to aggressive fluids, as well
as operating temperatures of 250°C,
coupled with increased reliability for
their systems, while also achieving
cost savings.
