Choosing Plastic Materials for Use in High Performance Valves and Regulators

This technical webinar will help engineers and designers navigate plastic material selection for sealing applications in high performance valves and regulators.

Whether you are faced with a new design challenge or are having issues with an existing sealing application this webinar is for you.

Webinar Topics Include:

• Selecting plastics for sealing performance in low and high temperature applications
• Low friction polymer formulations to reduce actuation torque and minimize wear on mating metal parts
• Creep and stress relaxation behavior of polymer seals that can result in leak paths
• Compatibility with process chemicals
• Assuring consistent quality of plastic materials
• Overview of the plastics used in valves and regulators (Nylon, Acetal (Delrin®), PTFE, PCTFE, PVDF (Kynar®), PEEK, PAI (Torlon®), and DuPont™ Vespel® Polyimide
