A totally different O-Ring having a resilient rubber coreencased in a continuous, thick, non-porous FEP/PTFEencapsulation. This unique O-Ring solves the sealingproblems where the chemical inertness of PTFE is a MUSTand where maintenance-free dependability and long servicelife are required.Sealing Performance Continuous encapsulation of thick, pure PTFE offers no seamsor weak spots to break and leak. Thick PTFE encapsulation permits wide application withoutleakage. Low compression set compared to solid PTFE O-Rings Extreme slipperiness of PTFE reduces friction in dynamicapplications.Chemical Resistance CAPFE offers both resilience and chemical resistance. Thick PTFE encapsulation permits wide application withoutdeterioration. Resistant to all chemicals except molten alkali metals, hot fluorineand certain complex halogenated compounds. Low gas and water vapor permeability compared to flashcoated O-Rings.
