| The Kalrez® Application Guide (KAG) is divided into three segments, Product Selection, Seal Design, and O-Ring Troubleshooting. Please note: most of the Product Selection section is available on line in the Chemical Resistance Guide

| In the Product Selection section, Kalrez® products are rated in a variety of temperatures and chemical media. Specific compounds have been developed to meet the unique needs of the Chemical, Semiconductor, Photovoltaic and Pharmaceutical industries.

| The Seal Design section, is organized to assist users in designing seals for o-rings or choosing o-rings for specific seals. The user has several seals to choose from which cover standard o-ring designs. These seals can be designed for specific o-rings or an o-ring can be selected for a seal of specific dimensions.
|
|
| The O-Ring Troubleshooting section includes photos of O-Rings damaged from chemical, thermal, or mechanical attack. By understanding the cause of O-Ring failure, proper selection of an alternative elastomer or seal design can help improve seal life.
