Materials Selection

The materials that we use to manufacture the products encompass a wide range of engineering materials such as plastics, elastomers, metals, elastomeric cork sheet and ceramics. At Advanced Sealing Devices, we not only offer standard type of materials such as Nitrile, (Acrylonitrile Butadiene NBR), hydrogenated nitrile (HNBR), carboxylated nitrile (XNBR), Polyacrylate (ACM), ethylene proplyene (EPDM, EPM), butyl (IIR), silicone (MVQ, MFQ, MPVQ), Chloroprene (CR), Ethylene Acrylic (AEM), fluorosilicon (FMQ, FVMQ), hydrolysis resistant polyurethane (HPU), fluorocarbon (FKM), perfluoroelastomer (FFKM), Tefrafluoroethylene Propylene Copolymer (FEPM), Nylon, Polyacetal (POM, Acetal), PTFE, PTFE Carbon, PTFE Glass, PTFE Graphite, PTFE Bronze ; we can also compound and formulate special materials according to your specification. The work will be carried out in our well-equipped in-house laboratory. In selecting a suitable material for your system, we consider stresses, strains, creep, friction, modulus, chemical compatibility, operating temperatures, and microstructure.

A typical elastomer that we offer for your seals and coatings on metals are as follows. We also offer FDA grade for some of the following materials for hygienic seals and products.

Plastics that we offer are as follows:
