Highest demands on modern sealings
Due to the continuous improvement of the manufacturing processes regarding effectiveness and efficiency the demands on elastomer sealings is also constantly in the increase. The demands however differ greatly depending on the utilisation, the application area as well as the industry. Even within a pre‑cisely determined industrial sector it is not uncommon to have various definitions of requirements for the sealings. There is a growing trend for individualisation of the sealing solutions. Only high‑quality and precisely processed materials can meet the many individual requirements. Due to the decades of experience, our exquisite knowledge of the industry and last but not least our extraordinary customer relations we at COG master that challenge. And on more than one occasion have we been able to pleasantly surprise our customers with new sealing solutions.
Standards for precision-O-Rings: ISO 3601
The basic prerequisite for our premium products is a continuously high quality in both the choice of materials as well as the manufacturing of the final products. COG exclusively produces and sells precision‑O‑Rings abiding by the standard ISO 3601. The ISO 3601 is an international standard for precision‑O‑Rings. For anybody involved in these matters the standard ISO 3601 offers a certain security in dealing with designers and buyers using the imperial system (i. e. measuring in inches).
For more information about the permitted deviations of O-Rings according to ISO 3601 and housing for O-Ring seals please have a look at www.cog.de/en/o-rings-products.html

In engineering, where the critical parts, such as sealings e. g., are concerned, the engineer or user is confronted first and foremost with the question of the right choice in material. For security reasons developers ought to use very high quality material for the initial equipment, e. g. FFKM. This is highly resistant against most media – even in high temperatures – further‑more the physical properties are convincing and hence provide ideal sealing results. However the cost of those materials exceeds most budgets by far and therefore the final product might not be put on the market at a marketable price – especially in times like today – an argument of increasing importance. Therefore a thorough examination is essentially important when choosing the material in order to determine the ideal sealing solution.
In general the materials have to be examined according to three requirement profiles:
1. Operation temperatures:Which range of temperature will the sealing be exposed to? How low is the lowest, how high the highest temperature? Is the exposure to these temperature ranges merely momentary or constant?
2. Chemical resistance:Which media must the sealing be resistant against yet seal perfectly? Is any interaction to be expected, i. e. application in acids or bases? Which temperature has the medium to be sealed? Is oil or fat used during assembly?
3. Mechanical properties:How is the sealing used? Is it supposed to be a latent, static seal or a non-latent, dynamic seal? In the case of dynamic sealings: How high is the mechanical stress to be expected? Is the sealing in motion on the rare occasion, or on a regular or even constant basis?
The right choice in sealing material
In addition to choosing the ideal material, ques‑tions regarding the correct type of seal (e. g. design, geometry, sealing size or the groove design) may be deciding factors for choosing the ideal sealing. In case you do not have exact specifications for your project or should other questions occur, our Application Technology team will be happy to advise you thoroughly and competently!

Developers, Engineers and users often encounter difficulties when a technical equip‑ment or machine comes into contact with especially aggressive media. Often enough this damages the more sensitive parts, such as e. g. the elastomer sealings, resulting in shorter maintenance intervals, unplanned machine shutdowns or in the worst case even leakages, which may lead to production stop. COG has designed various dif‑ferent materials for use in aggressive environments and can fulfil the most diverse requirements with their large product range.
HF 875 (FKM)This multi‑purpose sealing material, a highly fluoric polymer, was designed especially for high sealing demands when exposed to aggressive media. Even nitric acid and sodium hydroxide have only slight effects on the material. This FKM‑compound is also ideally suited for applications with fuels (carburettor fuels, diesel fuels). The fields of application range from chemical industries to engineering to process engineering – in short - all fields of application, where both thermic as well as high chemical resistance are indispensable.
Properties:• Universally applicable all‑rounder• Excellent resistance to chemicals• In some areas comparable to FFKM• Very good resistance to vapour• Good solvent resistance• Low compression set• Good mechanical properties • Broad operating temperature range
from ‑15°C to +200°C• Very appealing price especially
compared to FFKM
Highest demands materials exposed to aggressive media
Vi 981 (FEPM)This Viton® Extreme‑ETP sealing material is an interesting solution for users with very high demands. The Vi 981 compound is multi‑purposely applicable due to its good physical and excellent mechanical properties. Moreover, the outstanding chemi‑cal resistance of fluoric rubber is improved further by the compound Vi 981. At the same time heat resis‑tance and low-temperature flexibility persist.
Properties:• High quality FEPM compound• Very good resistance to
chemicals• Excellent mechanical values• Excellent ageing resistance• Good heat resistance and
low-temperature flexibility• Extremely multi‑purposely
applicable, e. g. in the chemical and lacquer industry
BF 750 (FKM)This FKM compound was developed for engineers and users, who at times encounter great difficulties with elastomer sealings exposed to biogenic media on a long‑term basis. Biogenic media are e. g. ethanol, ethanol‑carburettor fuel mixtures, rapeseed methyl ester (RME, biodiesel fuel), RME‑diesel fuel mixture and pure vegetable oils. Furthermore the FKM com‑pound is highly applicable in conventional fuels (carburettor fuels, diesel fuels) and many other media ‑ a really universally applicable sealing compound all‑rounder to favourable conditions.
Properties:• Multi‑purposely applicable all‑rounder • Excellent properties when in use
with biogenic and conventional fuels• Excellent resistance to chemicals• Good solvent resistance• Very good resistance to vapour• Low compression set • High mechanical properties• Broad operating temperature range
from ‑15°C to +200°C
11
Vi 480 (FKM)Vi 480 has been specially developed for use in applications where not only a high degree of resistance to chemical influence but also resistance to hot water and water vapour is required. Under these conditions most traditional FKM substances prove inadequate, as they suffer an extreme increase in volume. Specially designed for use in such situations, the FKM compound Vi 480 moreover shows an extremely low compression set even under these difficult conditions, offering the ideal basis for long‑term leakage‑free use. Due to its characteristics this FKM is ideally suited for applications in fittings, valves, pumps, electric cables, pipes, drives and other applications in the power plant and process technology.
Properties:• Excellent chemical resistance• Very good resistance to hot water and water vapour• Low compression set• Broad operating temperature range
from ‑15 °C to +200 °C• Excellent resistance to biogenic and traditional fuels • Good resistance to solvents• Good mechanical properties• Universal all‑rounder
Perlast® G75B (FFKM)The top all‑rounder compound Perlast® G75B is characterized by an increased chemical and acid resistance as well as by excellent mechanical properties. Perlast® G75B offers a high resistance against vapour and hot amines and is also suitable for vacuum applications. In addition to that, this perfluoroelas‑tomer has low permeability and as a result, it is less prone to swelling, leading to extended in‑service performance in, for example, valves, pumps and mechanical seals. Temperature stability up to 325°C.
Properties:• High temperature resistance up to +325 °C• Excellent chemical resistance• Very good mechanical properties• High vapour resistance• Very high sealing efficiency• High pureness• Less than 2% swelling in MIL-L-23699C jet-oil
after 336 hours at +200 °C• Long‑term sealing integrity even after a long
period of time in high temperature application

Sealing materials used in cold environments need to meet special requirements. Even in these conditions the sealings used must possess the necessary flexibility in order to seal properly. In the field, users are confronted with various different defi nitions, therefore comparing materials by different manu‑facturers proves difficult. There are many different methods of measuring the material properties at low‑temperatures. The methods usually disclose different results of measurement. Therefore it is important to choose the method that gives accurate information on the functional efficacy of sealings.
Application in extreme temperatures
For this reason the COG material data regarding the appli cation in low‑temperatures refers to the “TR10 value” (temperature retraction value), unless specifically stated otherwise. This value describes the behaviour of a material in low tempera‑tures. The TR10 value is the temperature at which an elastomer can recover 10% of its elastomer restoring property. In certain appli cations some materials can even be used well below this value. Yet in order to receive comparability and accuracy of information the COG data is always in reference to the TR10 value – a reliable and trustworthy indication for the user.

In certain applications the used elastomer sealings must withstand mechanical strain. Not all elastomer materials are equally suited for these fields of application. The materials featured on this page all have good mechanical resistance. Yet this does not mean they are generally applicable for all dynamic sealing applications. First of all it has to be determined how intense the mechanical strain is in the respective application. Is the sealing in motion on the rare occasion or on a regular or even constant basis? This criteria is only one of many. To be on the safe side: why not consult our Application Technology team? Our engineers will be glad to assist you in choosing the right material for your purposes.

In need of something special?PTFE materials and FEP-coated O-Rings
PTFE materialPTFE is a full fluoro‑
polymer with an excep‑tionally high melt viscos‑
ity. Therefore the thermic resistance is tremendous even in
continuous operation over many thou‑sand hours. Additionally PTFE is nearly universally resistant to chemicals. Even aggressive acids such as aqua regia (nitrohydrochloric acid) cannot corrode PTFE. Moreover, PTFE has many further positive qualities, such as excellent electrical insulation and anti‑adhesive behaviour, good dry‑running properties and low heat conductivity. However, since PTFE is a very hard and inelastic material, there are restrictions in the applicability. Furthermore PTFE cannot be elongated – a fact to be considered on assembly.
These features make the PTFE seal material of COG a material that is universally applicable for very different industries. As a result, PTFE is also used in the food, medical and pharmaceutical industries.
FEP-encapsulated O-Rings FEP‑encapsulated O‑Rings offer both: very high resistance to a wide range of media and simultaneously good elas‑ticity. This is due to the 2‑component system of these O‑Rings. FEP‑encap‑sulated O‑Rings have an elastic core made of FKM or Silicone (VMQ). Each elastic core is coated with a thin skin of FEP. This combination of excellent resistance and good elasticity creates a wider range of application. While the O‑Ring core offers the necessary elasticity, the FEP‑coating is resistant to chemical media.
PFA – for highest temperatures
In addition to FEP‑coatings, COG also offers PFA‑coatings. PFA is nearly as chemically resistant as PTFE and has the same properties. Moreover PFA‑coated O‑Rings may be exposed to higher tem‑peratures than FEP‑coated O‑Rings, even retaining its low-temperature flex‑ibility.
In general we have FEP‑coated O‑Rings with Silicone or FKM cores and core sizes between 1,5 and 19 mm in stock.
If required all FEP‑ and PFA‑coated O‑Rings can be marked with an individual white mark on the core. Enquire about further information.

Many manufacturers and operators in the oil and gas industries as well as in the compressor manufacturing business and in compressed air conditioning have difficulties with explosive decompression and its consequences, since conventional elastomer sealings cannot with‑stand the intense strain.
What happens during “explosive decompression”?
Great pressure causes gas to diffuse into the sealing material. Is the pressure reduced,
the gas is emitted again. In case of extremely sudden decompression the gas is released in an explosive way and the elastomer material is either torn in various places or bubbles form on the surface. In both cases the sealing is damaged so badly that it cannot seal properly anymore.
Conventional O‑Ring materials are not applicable under these circumstances,
as their resistance against such force is not sufficient. The only elastomers that can
be used are those especially designed with very good physical properties (e. g. high resist‑ance to increased tearing and module).

In applications of the natural gas production, such as e. g. pig traps, gate valves, ball cocks and other regulating valves, the use of these materials has proved successful in avoiding damages to the sealings caused by explosive decompression and consequently avoiding costly leakages. Additionally this material has been tried and tested in high pressure com‑pressor construction and in endurance tests carried out in oil production.

Materials for vacuum applicationsIn general every material emits gas, no matter what the ambi‑ent pressure. However the emission rate generally increases as the ambient pressure is reduced. The highest emission oc‑curs in a vacuum, therefore the lower the emission, the better

At COG we employ a special production method to produce precision O‑Rings according to ISO 3601 with a length of up to 3.000 mm, variable cord sizes and qualities of material. In this special production method of “endless vulcanisation” the vulcanisation process is carried out in a consistently even and thorough way. O‑Rings produced this way match precision‑O‑Rings of smaller dimension produced with conventional methods.
Compared to the conventional methods of manufacturing special sized O‑Rings, such as O‑Rings with vulcanised or glued joints, this method keeps tolerances to a minimum and therefore grants very high precision. Its other big advantage over conventional methods is that, due the consistency of the vulcanisation the joints no longer bear a weakness. This provides a more durable seal of considerably higher quality in a variety of applications, e. g. also in high vacuum areas or in gaseous media.
