PTFE Bellow Single Acting Seal

Composite PTFE bellow seal for extremely corrosive service.

The PTFE Bellow Single Acting Seal is used for extremely corrosive services. A glass-filled PTFE face is composite-moulded to a highly flexible PTFE bellow, giving an all-fluoropolymer wetted path.

With every wetted part in PTFE or glass-filled PTFE, this seal withstands strong acids, oxidisers and solvents that attack elastomer seals.

The flexible PTFE bellow provides the spring effect and accommodates shaft movement without a separate metal spring in the fluid.

Key features

  • All-PTFE / glass-filled-PTFE wetted parts
  • Composite-moulded face-to-bellow construction
  • No metal spring in contact with the fluid
  • For strong acids, oxidisers and aggressive solvents

Typical applications

  • Strong acid transfer
  • Chlor-alkali and oxidiser service
  • Highly corrosive chemical pumps

Materials of construction

  • Face: glass-filled PTFE
  • Bellow: virgin PTFE
  • Mating ring: ceramic / silicon carbide
