Reliable sealing for critical industrial applications
In process and manufacturing industries , equipment reliability can ’ t be left to chance . Perlast ® Perfluoroelastomers ( FFKM ) have been developed to provide exceptional sealing performance in environments where other materials might fail . From O-rings to hygienic gaskets , Perlast ® is the name to trust for process industry leaders around the world . Here ’ s why …
1 . UNIVERSAL CHEMICAL RESISTANCE Perlast ® FFKM is chemically inert . In tests and in situ , Perlast ® FFKM materials are proven in the most aggressive chemical environments – across process media as well as chemical ( CIP ) and steam ( SIP ) sterilisation routines .
2 . HIGH TEMPERATURE RESISTANCE The molecular structure of Perlast ® FFKM results in extraordinary stability in high temperatures . Perlast ® FFKM can withstand operating temperatures of up to 327 ° C ( 620 ° F ). Perlast ® FFKM is not only resistant to high temperatures – some grades seal down to -46 ° C ( -51 ° F )
3 . MECHANICAL STRENGTH The low compression set of Perlast ® FFKM means that across both static and dynamic applications , Perlast ® FFKM seals can be specified within fast-paced process lines that cannot be undermined by material weakness and unreliability .
4 . FULL REGULATORY COMPLIANCE Perlast ® FFKM is certified compliant to important standards across several industries , including food , dairy and pharmaceuticals ( FDA , 3-A Sanitary Standards and USP ), and energy ( NORSOK M710 , NACE , ISO23936 , and ISO10423 ).
5 . AVAILABILITY In recent months , the excellent availability of Perlast ® FFKM has been a critical factor for equipment operators . An industry-wide shortage of FFKM ingredients has led to significant increases in lead times for major manufacturers and prominent FFKM

grades . Perlast ® FFKM has remained relatively unaffected by this supply chain complexity . Perlast ® FFKM sealing components can be manufactured to order in as little as a month – up to six times quicker than some competitor grades .
