Chemical, Petrochemical, Oil & Gas

Technician operating stainless steel process equipment in a pharmaceutical or chemical plant, illustrating cleanroom-compatible sealing for FFKM o rings.

Katon® offers high-performance sealing solutions for the chemical, petrochemical, and oil & gas industries, where chemical exposure, extreme temperatures, and high pressure are common. Our seals are designed to provide unmatched chemical resistance and durability, ensuring that your systems remain secure and efficient, even in the harshest environments.

Applications:

  • High Saturation Steam & Alkali Resistance: Sealing solutions designed for high-temperature steam and alkaline conditions.
  • Extreme Chemicals: Outstanding chemical resistance for a variety of harsh environments.
  • Oil Exploration & High-Pressure Deep Wells: Providing seals that perform reliably in extreme high pressure conditions, deep wells, and offshore operations.
  • Low Compression Set: Ensuring long-term seal performance even in high-pressure applications.

Low Compression Set

The Low Compression Set application category offers O-rings and gaskets specifically designed to maintain sealing integrity under extreme pressures and temperatures.  
These seals provide superior chemical resistance, low deformation over time, and excellent reliability, making them ideal for hydraulic systems, high-pressure equipment, and other demanding applications.
