Food and Pharmaceutical
In pharmaceutical and food processing sealing applications where cleanliness is critical, PTFE has been the material of choice until now. Kalrez® perfluoroelastomer parts offer the same level of cleanliness and universal chemical resistance, but unlike PTFE they have true elastomeric properties and sealing capabilities.
FDA-compliant Kalrez® 6221 and 6230 parts provide low contamination from extractables. They are well-suited for contact with highly pure and aggressive water (WFI) systems, and exhibit very low swell and loss of mechanical properties after repeated steam cycling.
Kalrez® parts from DuPont Performance Elastomers are unique in that we are the only supplier that manufactures the polymer and the finished part. We provide full traceability;an attribute that is highly desireable for your critical applications. We also offer parts in standard shapes (such as O-rings and our new sanitary seal we are developing) and can produce custom shapes.
