Exhibiting steam, base, and compression set resistance, FF580-75 is suited for harsh operating conditions where thermal stability and chemical resistance are required. This 75 durometer perfluorinated elastomer, compatible for use in bases, amines, steam, ethylene oxide, acids, and other aggressive chemicals, may be used in chemical processing, energy, oil and gas, paint spray, and general industrial markets.
Parker's New Perfluorinated O-ring Elastomer Offers Extreme Chemical Resistance and Good Thermal Stability in the Harshest Operating Conditions
LEXINGTON, KY, August 13, 2009- Parker Hannifin, the global leader in motion and control technologies, has developed FF580-75, a new 75 durometer perfluorinated elastomer for use in harsh operating conditions where good thermal stability and extreme chemical resistance are required.
Created for industries and applications where chemical resistance is the primary focus, FF580-75 has the best steam resistance and base resistance in its class. As the newest addition to Parker's Parofluor ULTRA(TM) series of perfluorinated elastomers, FF580-75 also provides outstanding compression set resistance and mechanical properties.
FF580-75 has excellent compatibility for use in bases, amines, steam, ethylene oxide, acids and many other aggressive chemicals. For this reason, O-rings made from this material are well suited for the Chemical Processing Industry, Energy, Oil and Gas, Paint Spray, and General Industrial markets.
