Failure of O Ring in Mechanical Seal
Failure of O Ring in Mechanical Seal
(OP)
We are presently facing problem of Seal leak due to premature failure of O ring.
O Ring is Exposed to Acetone Vapours, We have tried unsuccesfully varoius materials like Viton and PTFE O rings.
KALREZ is suitable as suggested by supplier but it's very costly almost 300 time more.
Is there any Alternative cheaper Material to Kalrez for O Ring
Warm Regards

You can get a data sheet at the following website;

Also, don’t forget to check the temperature of the service against the rated temperatures for the elastomer. Perhaps the reason Kalrez was suggested was because the service is at a higher temperature.
It is your fanny. Cover it.
