BECA 010 FEP

BECA 010 FEP
BECA 010 FEP

Description

The BECA 010 FEP profile is a rubber O'Ring, a circular ring with a round cross-section, wrapped in a FEP impermeable sheath (fluorinated ethylene propylene). Unlike PTFE O'Rings, FEP O'Rings retain their elastic properties, as with standard O'Rings, and have a great chemical resistance thanks to the FEP envelope.

Advantages

Wide temperature range
Excellent chemical resistance
Low friction coefficient; no stick-slip effect

Materials

FEP sheath

The FEP (tetrafluoroethylene - hexafluoropropylene) sheath is a material that has same mechanical properties as PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene). It has an excellent chemical inertia and good abrasion resistance.

FKM-FEP

Depending on their structure and fluorine content, fluoroelastomers can vary in terms of chemical resistance and resistance to cold. This FKM-based rubber is very often used for high-temperature hydraulic and pneumatic systems, industrial valves, injection/fuel systems, motor seals and high-vacuum systems.

Surface roughness

To make the tubes and rods, we recommend using non-porous steel or cast iron. For dynamic applications, brass and untreated stainless steel, as well as aluminium, are not as hard and are therefore not recommended, as they would be subjected to a lot of wear.

The roughness means that the sealing must be of a high quality. The surface roughness of grooves improves during alternating pressures.
