Elastomer Material can provide low-friction hydraulic seals.

Press Release Summary:



OmniFlex(TM) Fluoroelastomer material exhibits nearly equivalent performance to perfluorelastomer material in chemical resistance and inertness, yet has softer durometer and improved compression set. It offers low temperature performance down to -70°F and operates up to maximum temperature of 424°F. Special shapes can be manufactured to typical dimensional tolerances.

New OmniFlex(TM) Elastomer Material



Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics has just announced the introduction of its new OmniFlex(TM) Fluoroelastomer material. It exhibits nearly equivalent performance to perfluorelastomer material in chemical resistance and inertness, yet has a softer durometer and improved compression set. OmniFlex(TM) has outstanding low temperature performance, down to -57°C (-70°F). The material operates up to a maximum temperature of 218°C (424°F).

With its softer durometer, OmniFlex(TM) is an excellent choice for low friction hydraulic seals and standard o-rings, but special shapes can easily be manufactured to typical dimensional tolerances. To get more specifications, physical property values and chemical resistance ratings on our complete line of OmniFlex(TM) proprietary materials, contact Saint-Gobain Performance Plastics, at 1-800-544-0080 or visit our website at www.plastics.saint-gobain.com
