Low Friction

Roller guide system using dual-layer seals for scratch-free, low-friction transport in panel or coating equipment.

When precision and smooth performance are critical, Katon®’s low friction and wear-resistant seals deliver. Designed for high-precision applications, these seals help reduce friction and prevent roller marks, ensuring smooth operations in sensitive systems. Perfect for industries where precision is key, and wear resistance is non-negotiable.

Applications:

  • No Marking: Specially designed to prevent any roller marks during sealing, ensuring flawless operation in precision equipment.
  • Low Friction Coefficient: Minimizing friction to protect against wear and ensure long-term, stable performance.

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.
