Wilden® Now Offers Easy Install Wil-Flex(TM) Diaphragms
Cost-effective Wil-Flex diaphragms ideal for Paint & Coatings applications due to long flex life, ability to handle abrasion and wide swing in pH levels
Grand Terrace, CA - Wilden®, the worldwide leader in air-operated double-diaphragm (AODD) pump technology, is proud to announce that it has recently upgraded the design of its cost-effective Wil-Flex(TM) Diaphragms to allow for easy installation. The Wil-Flex diaphragms are now available in a flat profile design, eliminating the need to invert the diaphragm when rebuilding a pump.
Made of Santoprene®, which is a thermoplastic elastomer that links EPDM (ethylene propylene diene Monomer) rubber and polypropylene, Wil-Flex diaphragms are an excellent low-cost alternative to PTFE diaphragms. Their design characteristics make them ideal for use in Paint & Coatings applications due to long flex life, ability to easy handle abrasion and wide swing in pH levels. Because of their thermoplastic qualities, Wil-Flex diaphragms have inherent tensile strength and do not need fabric reinforcement.
Wil-Flex diaphragms are currently available for use on the Advanced(TM) Series Metal 25mm (1") bolted stainless steel and aluminum, 38mm 1-1/2") bolted stainless steel, and 76mm (3") bolted stainless steel and aluminum models. Wilden's Advanced bolted pumps also include the Pro-Flo X(TM) air distribution system that allows the pump user to control the flow rate and maximize efficiency to reduce processing costs.
