PFAS-free coating for multi-way valve sealing pads

To answer new environmental regulations and the need to reduce the chemical footprint of materials, Precision Sealing Systems (PSS) from Hutchinson Group is features LUBRITAPE-E, a transparent film applied to rubber parts, while while for low friction sealing pads for multi-way rotary valves. Designed as a direct replacement for PTFE solution, this coating delivers the same high-performance properties.

This offers Low-friction coefficient (Dynamic CoF Dry: 0.1 | Wet: 0.05); high resistance to abrasion; water-repellent surface; compatible with EPDM; temperature resistance from -50°C to +115°C

Featuring the new LUBRITAPE-E coating, the sealing pads offer: lower friction torque, for energy efficiency; optimal sealing solution; increased component service life; easy integration into automatic process

These sealing solutions are particularly suitable for thermal management modules and multi-way valves. They ensure leak-free operation while allowing smooth movement of internal parts, Sealing pads for multi-way valve even under high temperature and pressure conditions.

PSS develops rubber solutions to extend the service life of systems and improve vehicle performance.
