Hutchinson is taking a new step forward by implementing PFAS-free LUBRITAPE-E coating for multi-way valve sealing pads. This solution meets market requirements and environmental standards while ensuring performance and reliability.
A sustainable alternative to PTFE film
To answer new environmental regulations and the need to reduce the chemical footprint of materials, Precision Sealing Systems (PSS) from Hutchinson Group is innovating with LUBRITAPE-E, a transparent film applied to rubber parts, while ideal for low friction sealing pads for multi-way rotary valves. Designed as a direct replacement for PTFE solution, this coating delivers the same high-performance properties.
The sealing pads offer a low-friction coefficient (Dynamic CoF Dry: 0.1 | Wet: 0.05), high resistance to abrasion and a water-repellent surface. They are compatible with EPDM and have a temperature resistance from -50°C to +115°C. The sealing solutions are particularly suitable for thermal management modules and multi-way valves. They ensure leak-free operation while allowing smooth movement of internal parts, Sealing pads for multiway valve even under high temperature and pressure conditions.
