Low Friction Coefficient
The Low Friction Coefficient application category focuses on O-rings and gaskets designed to reduce wear and friction in demanding environments.  
These seals, made from fluorinated elastomers with internal PTFE lubrication, offer excellent chemical resistance, durability, and low permeability, making them ideal for industrial, mechanical, and optical equipment applications. 
Features and Benefits
  • Resilient to chemicals, oils, and solvents
  • Internally lubricated with PTFE
  • Operates reliably in extreme temperatures
  • Resistance to ozone, oxygen, and various hydraulic and synthetic oils
  • PF75VW and PF80VW are cost-effective grades specifically designed for water processing applications.  If the process involves both basic and advanced chemical liquids, PF80VW is recommended for optimal performance.
