INNOVATIVE MATERIALS

PPE offers sealing components in nearly every material family – including FKM, FEPM, FFKM, EPDM, NBR, HNBR and silicone. Many of PPE’s material grades meet various international approvals and conformance requirements such as FDA (food), 3A 18-03 (dairy) and USP Class VI (pharmaceutical).

Combining innovative material science with engineering expertise in customising the optimal seal design, PPE can deliver exceptional sealing solutions for pumps, valves, mechanical seals, pipe couplings and reactors in any processing application.

Perlast® perfluoroelastomers (FFKM) provide the highest level of thermal and chemical resistance available, making them ideal for use in the most demanding sealing applications. By using PPE’s Perlast® seals, many manufacturers of process equipment have been able to extend the operating capability of their original equipment without expensive valve and pump redesigns.

Detectaseal® is PPE’s a range of metal detectable and X-ray detectable elastomer compounds, which have been designed specifically to meet the stringent demands of the pharmaceutical and food processing industries. The range includes EPDM, Nitrile, Silicone and Fluorocarbon (FKM) materials and offers the latest advance in contamination detection and containment.
