Call or e-mail our engineers through our “Ask an Engineer” tool.
MATERIAL SELECTION
Material selection is complex and crucial. Each grade of material has a unique set of physical and chemical properties that sets it apart from the others. Our recommendations consider the medium, temperature, static or dynamic motion, maximum operating pressure, environmental aspects, material costs and more. We are experts in all materials, including VitonTM, EPDM, Nitrile, Silicone, PTFE and more.
REGULATORY PRACTICES
New laws and regulations continuously impact the fluid power and rubber sealing industry. We review new directives to ensure worldwide product compliance. Some common regulatory requests are: Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive (ROHS); Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals (REACh); Dodd Frank Conflict Minerals.
