Materials

Choose elastomer by process conditions.

Material selection depends on temperature, chemical exposure, oils and mechanical fit. The end user is responsible for qualifying the seal in the intended application.

Material overview

Specifications below reflect the existing MWS product information and should be confirmed for the selected part and current production lot.

EPDM

Color
Black
Durometer
35A
Temperature range
−70 to 250°F

Good resistance to many acids, alkalis and salts. The published summary cautions against use with fats and petroleum oils and notes weak resistance to organic compounds.

Fluorosilicone (FVMQ)

Color
Blue
Durometer
60A
Temperature range
−90 to 350°F

Fluorosilicone is described as a silicone polymer with fluorinated side chains for improved oil and fuel resistance. Confirm compatibility with the exact process fluid.

Temperature and chemical resistance are selection guidance, not a warranty of performance. Confirm the current material specification and qualify the MWS seal under actual operating conditions. Selected materials have been identified as BPA-free; request material-specific documentation when required.
