Kalrez® Perfluoroelastomer Parts

High Performance Perfluoroelastomer Parts

Kalrez® parts last longer and seal more effectively than other elastomers in demanding processing environments

For demanding sealing applications when customers require the very best.  Kalrez® O-Rings manufactured only by DuPont™, are the elastomer seals of choice. Supplied in standard O-ring sizes or custom shapes, Kalrez® O-Rings resist over 1,800 different chemicals while offering the high-temperature stability of PTFE (327°C). Advanced properties help maintain seal integrity, reduce maintenance and operating costs and improve safety. Kalrez® O-Rings provide reliable, long-term service with a wide range of aggressive industrial and electronic grade chemicals. It is used in highly aggressive chemical processing, semiconductor wafer processing, pharmaceutical, oil and gas recovery, aerospace and petroleum applications.
Kalrez® parts and seals also help prevent semiconductor process contamination by reducing particulates, lowering extractables, and resisting degradation in harsh plasma. Kalrez® parts provide low outgassing in vacuum-sealing applications. FDA-compliant seals are also available for food, beverage or pharmaceutical processes. These compounds are discussed in our Life Sciences section.

Production facilities for Kalrez® are ISO 9000 and AS 9100 registered.
