Seals in the chemical industry
Aggressive media and high pressures are no cause for fear – with the comprehensive sealing technology quality solutions provided by Freudenberg Process Seals, you can reliably secure your processes in the chemical industry.
The chemical industry deals with the preparation of basic chemicals, such as ammonia, acids, alkaline solutions or simple hydrocarbons, and also deals with subsequent treatment of these materials to make high quality products. For example, ammonia is produced from nitrogen and is then converted into fertilizers. Or simple hydrocarbons are separated out of crude oil and are then used to synthesize plastics.
Most of these media require seals with excellent, all-round stability to ensure that operating processes run smoothly, but these seals also have to be robust to withstand some extremely high pressures.
For this purpose, Freudenberg Process Seals offers highly stable sealing solutions using Perfluoroelastomers, PTFE or Graphite, as well as a wide range of high quality elastomer materials, such as EPDM or FKM, if flexibility is required in less aggressive production environments.
Especially designed for the vast numbers of pipelines and flange connections required in the chemical industry, we offer a comprehensive range of thermally and also chemically stable flat gaskets as well as universally applicable secondary seals for mechanical seals often used in pumps.
