Features of FEP Encapsulated O-RINGS

What is FEP Encapsulated O-RINGS?

FEP encapsulated O-rings comprise of an elastomer core which has been seamlessly encapsulated in a jacket of Teflon® fluoropolymer. The core is either Viton ®, Silicone or EPDM. The jacket is FEP or PFA.

FEP encapsulated O-rings are recommended when a standard O-ring has inadequate chemical resistance for an application. They are also recommended when a solid PTFE O-ring does not have the elasticity for reliable, long term fluid sealing. They are often used where chemical resistance and or hygiene is required.

Typical industries include:
• Chemical.
• Petrochemical.
• Food.
• Pharmaceutical.

We can provide practically any size of encapsulated rings. We hold many sizes in stock. We offer solid and hollow core styles as well as cam and groove gaskets.

Encapsulated O-rings are available in cross sections from 1.78mm to 25.4mm. The only size limits are with the smaller ID’s. Please check our size limitation chart as the diameter of the cord dictates the smallest possible ID.

FEP encapsulated O-rings offer excellent resistance to a wide range of chemicals. They offer typical temperature ranges of:
• -60°C to +200°C with Silicone core.
• -20°C to +200°C with Viton ® core.

They offer low friction and a low ‘stick-slip’ effect.

PFA encapsulated O-rings offer extra abrasion resistance. When combined with a Silicone core, they offer a temperature range of -60°C to +260°C.

We also supply PFA encapsulated O-rings with a Viton ® core. These seals offer a temperature range of -20°C to +200°C. Viton ® core PFA encapsulated O-rings also provide extra abrasion resistance.

REGULATORY COMPLIANCE – SILICONE / VITON CORE & FEP / PFA ENCAPSULATION
FDA & NSF 61

The clear Teflon FEP / PFA encapsulation complies with Part 177 of Title 21 of the Food and Drug Administration regulations for safe use as articles or components of articles for producing, manufacturing, processing, preparing, treating, packing, transporting or holding food in accordance with FDA regulation 21.CFR.177.1550.

The clear Teflon FEP / PFA encapsulation of our encapsulated O-rings is compliant to NSF 61 requirements.

USP CLASS VI

Teflon ® FEP / PFA fluoropolymers have been tested in accordance with USP Protocol. They meet the requirements of a USP Class VI plastic. Only the FEP / PFA encapsulation comes into contact with the product. Our FEP / PFA encapsulated O-rings are considered to be USP Class VI compliant. For information on our core materials, please read our material data sheets.

EU VO 1935/2004 AND 10/2011

Eastern Seals has researched and evaluated BFR documentation. We have paid particular attention to “Recommendations of the Federal Institute for Risk Assessment on Plastics intended to come in to contact with Food”. Any material or article intended to come into contact, directly or indirectly with food, must be sufficiently inert to prevent substances from being transferred to food in quantities large enough to endanger human health, or to bring about an unacceptable change in the composition of the food or a deterioration in its organoleptic properties.

The outer encapsulate is an FEP or PFA melt process-able polymer of PTFE. PTFE is also known as the brand Teflon ®. PTFE polymers are highly inert. They are often used in industrial food processing, and domestic food cooking equipment.

Our FEP / PFA encapsulated O-rings manufacture is compliant with all relevant sections (1 to 21) of the E.C Regulation Number 1935/2004 and the subsequent Articles.

We are pleased to advise that our FEP / PFA encapsulated O-rings are compliant to EU VO 1935/2004 and 10/2011 certification.

Application:

Encapsulated seals were primarily designed to solve the growing problems of sealing corrosive fluids in industry. This development provided designers and engineers with a seal that combined the chemical resistance of Teflon® with the resilience of rubber.

A seamless Teflon® jacket surrounds the elastomer core providing the chemical inertness, whilst the memory in the elastomer core energises the seal.

Encapsulated seals are available with two types of Teflon® jacket – FEP which is standard, and PFA for more demanding applications.

The energising core is available in Viton®, Silicone or EPDM.

Viton® is offered as the standard because of its superior compression set. For low-temperature applications, or where lower closure forces are required a Silicone core is specified.

The design variations available, together with combined performance characteristics of both the jacket material and elastomer core , ensures that encapsulated seals will be an effective solution for many troublesome applications.

Encapsulated seals are used mainly in MACHINERY,Electronic field, Industrial machine & equipment, cylindrical surface static sealing,flat face static sealing, vacuum flange sealing, triangle groove application, pneumatic dynamic sealing ,Medical equipment industry, heavy machinery, excavators, etc.
