DuPont to Showcase High Performance Parts for Demanding Applications at ChemShow

Visitors to the ChemShow in New York, Nov. 1-3, can learn about reliable sealing solutions and durable wear solutions for very demanding chemical processing, food and pharmaceutical applications at the DuPont booth. Displays and information in booth #628 show the benefits and features of DuPont™ Kalrez® perfluoroelastomer parts and DuPont™ Vespel® CR-6100 parts.

“Process engineers can meet needs for safety, reliability and productivity with Kalrez® seals and Vespel® CR-6100 wear parts,” said Rene Garza, global marketing manager, energy and material handling, DuPont™ Kalrez® and Vespel®. “Used in a wide range of CPI equipment, these products have proven they can help increase MTBR (mean time between repairs),” he added.

Kalrez® parts such as O-rings, gaskets, valve seats or diaphragms can withstand aggressive chemicals and maintain tight seals over a very wide temperature range. Users can choose among a range of options to meet particular application challenges.

DuPont™ Kalrez® O-ring seals and other parts resist aggressive chemicals over a wide temperature range.

For the broadest possible chemical resistance, engineers turn to Kalrez® Spectrum™ 6375 parts. They can withstand most aggressive chemical families including acids, amines, bases, aldehydes, ethylene oxide, hot water and steam.  Service temperature can range up to 275°C. To get the ultimate in low-temperature performance, users can select Kalrez® Spectrum™ 0040 seals. They fight leaks and resist chemical attack at temperatures down to -42°C and up to +220°C.

To meet stringent cleanliness requirements in food and pharmaceutical applications that are FDA compliant, specifiers can turn to Kalrez® 6221 or 6230 seals to help protect process purity. They combine exceptional cleanliness with near-universal chemical resistance and outstanding elastomeric properties.

DuPont™ Vespel® CR-6100 parts have a proven record of success in pumps and other equipment for the chemical and hydrocarbon processing industries.

Vespel® CR-6100 parts such as wear rings can operate with lower clearance than metal components. Tighter clearances save energy by improving pump efficiency and sharply reducing vibration, thus cutting wear and tear on other pump components. In addition, Vespel® CR-6100 parts are highly resistant to most chemicals, including amines and strong acids.

DuPont™ Vespel® CR-6100 parts are recognized under the ISO 13709 International Standard and the American Petroleum Institute’s API 610 Standard. For more information about Vespel® CR-6100 parts, please visit http://vespel.dupont.com on the web.
