DLC coating of seals PTFE and FKM seals are standard in the industry. Both materials contain PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances), which are increasingly subject to regulation under the European REACH Regulation. Anyone planning systems or procuring seals today faces a specific question: Which alternatives offer comparable performance without relying on materials or lubricants containing…

Cryogenic seals In sealing technology, special expertise is always required when the temperature in the application is significantly below freezing. This is particularly relevant in cryogenics, as temperatures are reached here at which the physical properties of the material change fundamentally. Cryotechnology encompasses technical applications below −150 °C. Typical media are: Liquid nitro…

Plastic components for cryogenic applications Deflection gearbox made of PEEK A specially manufactured plastic component is always required when the temperature in the application is significantly below freezing. This is particularly relevant in cryotechnology, as temperatures are reached here at which the physical properties of the material change fundamentally. Cryotechnology encompasse…

The planned PFAS regulation is a key issue for many industries, as it could affect not only short-lived chemicals but also long-lasting high-performance materials. As part of the new regulation of short-chain perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) planned by the European Chemicals Agency (ECHA), fluoropolymers, fluoroelastomers, and their applications are currently under review. T…

PFAS-free seals We support you in switching to PFAS-free seals by advising you on sealing solutions, producing seals without PFAS, and conducting research into DLC coating of elastomers. There are three reasons why you should consider the switch where it is possible. REACH is heading toward broader PFAS restrictions, which would cover the fluoroelastomers (FKM, FFKM) and PTFE common in seals…

Models, prototypes and design elements for exhibition stands Innovative manufacturing for a modern trade fair appearance The battle for attention at trade fairs is more intense than ever. Major innovations therefore require strong presentations that are visually, functionally and emotionally compelling. But what can you do if the exhibit is too large, too heavy or not yet finished? Hänssler…
