Air application

Sealing Material

Previously installed piston rings and rider bands of air compressors were made of standard PTFE grades. Service life of wear parts as well as for cylinder liners of the 3rd stage was insufficient. Piston rings, rider bends, packing internals and liners suffered from high wear rates.

CHALLENGE – Development of a special PTFE material for Air service with a service life of 5,000 h

Air application

Sealing Materials with extended Service Life

Air compressors equipped with rings and internal packing parts made of SK202 and SK302, a special material for air applications, achieve an average service life of 5,000 h for wear parts. CHALLENGE – Extending the service life of wear parts to 8,000 h.

CHALLENGE – Extending the service life of wear parts to 8.000 h.

High-pressure application

SK904 – PEEK with high strength

A dry-running nitrogen compressor for the tobacco industry required at least 8,000 hours of continuous operation. Due to the high pressure in the application, PTFE materials were not suitable. Standard PEEK materials are also at the limits of their performance in this application.

CHALLENGE – Use of a new material in combination with the optimum ring design
