We offer a full range of sealing solutions for the pharmaceutical industry where hygienic sealing capability is critical with materials that can withstand a wide variety of chemical species.
PPE's pharmaceutical elastomer grades have been specially developed to withstand sterilize-in-place (SIP) and clean-in-place (CIP) procedures within pipe work and vessels. In addition, many of these materials are compliant with the requirements of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA CFR 21.177.2600), United States Pharmacopoeia - Class VI (USP Class VI) and 3-A Sanitary Standards.
PPE uses Finite Element Analysis (FEA) simulation techniques to develop hygienic seals which do not pose a contamination risk through their potential to 'trap' contaminating particles or bacteria. Hyclamp Sanitary Seals are designed to hygienically seal process lines and pipe couplings.
The full range of rubber materials from PPE for pharmaceutical applications includes: EPDM, Nitrile, HNBR, Silicone, FKM, & Perlast FFKM. Detectaseal materials allow for detection by in-line metal detection equipment to reduce risk of contamination of critical products.

Oil & Gas Sealing Solutions
Oil and Gas Sealing applications requires materials and geometries designed especially for High Pressure and High Temperatures (HPHT). In addition, the sealing materials must have fluid resistance to brine, cesium formate, sour gas, methanol, aromatic hydrocarbons (benzene, toluene, xylene), and other aggressive fluids and drilling muds. Perlast FFKM and the EnDura range of elastomer seals are designed the oil and gas industry in mind.
In recent years, High Pressure and Low Temperature (HPLT) applications are becoming more important to oil tool design. Within the EnDura Range of materials it is possible to seal to temperatures below -40C giving the design engineer wider operating windows in both high an low temperature applications.
The EnDura sealing materials are all tested for extrusion resistance under high pressure and explosive decompression resistance (E.D. resistance a.k.a. rapid gas decompression / RGD) in one of the most advanced testing facilities in the world.
