The High Performance Seal Division of PTI, specializes in the development and production of Perfluoroelastomer, (KYFLON™ Family of Compounds) AFLAS®, (Sanifluor® Family of Compounds) and Viton® and Viton Extreme rubber compounds. Our wide selection of Kyflon, Sanifluor, Viton and Viton Extreme materials allow the user to target specific application requirements. These advanced materials are used to fabricate O-Rings, Seals and Gaskets that provide outstanding service and reliability in a variety of demanding environments in the industrial, food & beverage, oil field, pharmaceutical and semiconductor production industries. Our only focus is to produce sealing elements capable of providing critical long term service in demanding applications.

In general, “value in use” should be the guiding principle for selecting an O-Ring or seal in any given application regardless of the industry. O-Rings constructed of standard materials may suffice in many applications, for a period of time but it’s a good bet that they will ultimately fail when exposed to higher temperatures or hostile chemical environments. Typically, the higher cost of a properly formulated high performance base polymer such as a perfluoroelastomer, Aflas or Viton Extreme, can be recouped many times over by providing long service life and reliability. Selecting the proper high performance O-Ring can increase the mean time between failure, (MTBF) thereby preventing costly unscheduled down time. Dangerous leakage can also be eliminated by the selection of the optimum O-Ring for the given service conditions.

The following table lists several of the O-Ring compounds that are produced by the High Performance Seal Division of Process Technologies Inc. All are available in standard AS 568 O-Rings.
