Inventor, DXF, DWG, plus many others. These can be
imported into SolidWorks® for our team of design
engineers to work with. Components are designed in 3D
CAD, and when required, are modelled using FEA.
PPE engineers design components using SolidWorks®, which
offers three dimensional parametric Computer Aided Design
(CAD) capabilities. Design intent is captured once into CAD and
then reused to drive all design and manufacturing processes:
• 2D & 3D non-linear Finite Element Analysis (FEA)
using ANSYS®
• Tool manufacture
• 3D work instruction generation
• 2D inspection drawings

seal for a pharmaceutical application.
Finite Element Analysis (FEA)
FEA is used to predict contact forces, deformation and stress levels within the
component. In order to maximise the accuracy of modelling, PPE engineers
generate temperature specific material models for specific applications. By
minimising stresses within an elastomer we can reduce the effect of stress-induced
chemical attack and therefore prolong the life of a component in application.
Drawing from a wide range of in-house compounds and a comprehensive supply
chain, our design team is able to recommend the most suitable materials for your
application, either using solely elastomers, or augmenting them with metals or
thermoplastics such as PTFE or PEEK® .
Integrated Computer Aided Manufacture (CAM) facilities are used by our
experienced team of tool designers to ensure that design intent is maintained
when manufacturing tooling within our in-house tool manufacture facilities.
Full configuration management is maintained throughout the design and
manufacturing process including the generation of 2D inspection drawings and 3D
manufacturing instructions. This ensures that requirements are correctly captured
and that the product we deliver meets the needs defined by our customers.
By working closely with our customers we can provide technical expertise
to maximise the performance of our materials in your application.

Thermo-mechanical Evaluation
Using environmental chambers to test the physical properties of materials at actual or elevated operating temperatures provides
practical results which are much more representative of real-life applications. The data is then used in computer modelling to create
accurate simulations of appropriate seal designs.
Thermal Analysis
Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC)
DSC analysis compares the exothermic and endothermic
reactions of samples and a reference, as the sample and
reference are heated through a defined heating regime. The
technique enables the accurate determination of glass transition
temperatures, crystallization and melting points and in the case
of elastomers, cure characteristics. This technique is valuable for
failure analysis and compound development.
Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA)
TGA analysis accurately weighs a sample as it is heated, from
typically 25°C to 1000°C. As the heating progresses, different
components of the elastomer formulation ‘burn off’ thereby
reducing the weight. A step-like pattern emerges which
correlates quantitatively with the components of the formulation.
This technique is valuable for compound development,
reverse-engineering, process control and failure analysis.
Spectroscopy
Infra-red Spectroscopy (FTIR)
FTIR involves passing an infra-red light through or impinging on a sample of material. The light gives up some of its energy, causing
various molecular structures in the sample to vibrate, twist or stretch; the resultant light is then compared with a reference light
stream and the result is represented as a characteristic plot of peaks. This technique is helpful in ‘fingerprinting’ materials, failure
analysis and compound development.
Explosive Decompression Testing
Explosive decompression (ED) damage of elastomer seals occurs when seals are
under high pressure for some time and then rapidly de-pressurised. Gases absorbed
into the elastomer rapidly expand causing the seal to rupture. PPE’s ED test
equipment can pressurise seals of various geometries up to 70 MPa (10,000 psi) and
can decompress over any desired cycle or time, whilst at temperatures of up to
300°C. Using this equipment, compounds can be developed and tested to overcome
this condition, with pressure, temperature and pressure release cycles simulating
actual field operation, the performance of seal types and grades can be confirmed
before installation. With a 3L cylinder, the ED test rig has been designed to meet Total,
NACE, NORSOK and Shell test requirements with all temperatures, pressures, gas
mixtures and depressurisation rates detailed therein. The O-ring carrier insert is
interchangeable to allow O-rings to be tested at various squeeze levels, in face and
piston geometries. This equipment also tests high-pressure sealing capability versus
diametral clearance and back-up ring performance.

Seal selection
Selecting the correct seal
The process of selecting a seal must take account of a range of different criteria to ensure that
the optimal material grade and seal size or design is suitable for the application.
Key selection criteria broadly fall into three main categories: the service conditions;
hardware and seal design considerations; and regulatory or approval requirements.
Service conditions
Design considerations
• What process media will the seal be exposed to (including
those used in cleaning or maintenance operations)?
• What are the shape and dimensions of the housing
(or gland) where the seal must fit?
• What temperature will the seal be subjected to (both
maximum and minimum) – in storage, normal operation
and extreme conditions (such as equipment overload
scenarios)?
• Will a standard size O-ring be acceptable, or is a
non-standard size O-ring or a custom design required?
• Will the seal be exposed to low or high pressure?
Will this be constant or cycling?
• Will the seal be used in a static or dynamic environment?
• If used dynamically, will the movements be reciprocating
or rotary?
• Are there other constraints such as exposure to
weathering (eg, UV light, ozone), flame retardancy,
electrical conductivity?
• What is the seal life expectancy and what are the
consequences of seal failure?
• How will the seal be installed? Does it need to be
self-retained during hardware assembly?
• Are there other constraints which will affect seal
dimensions and tolerances, such as hardware out of
flatness?
• What is the surface finish of the hardware?
• Are there any constraints on cost versus reliability?
Approval/Specification requirements
• What customer specifications are required?
• What regulatory body standards are required?
(e.g. FDA, USP, 3A)
• Does the seal need to be a specific colour?

selection process, PPE has developed various online tools available at www.prepol.com

Elastomer types and properties
Elastomer types and properties
Elastomer types are often referred to under standard designations/acronyms
listed in ASTM D1418 or ISO 1629. A brief description of each elastomer type
and their typical characteristics follows:
ACM (Polyacrylic or Polyacrylate)
These rubbers are usually copolymers of ethyl acrylate and a
vinyl ether and are resistant to heat, hydrocarbon oils and in
particular, oil additives, especially sulphurised types used for
lubrication under extreme pressure conditions.
ACM elastomers offer excellent heat resistance; they can typically
be used at temperatures of 150°C (up to 175°C for limited
periods). They provide high resistance to ozone, weathering and
oxidation but are extremely susceptible to hydrolysis, hence their
unsuitability for use in aqueous media. Compression set and low
temperature flexibility depends on the base polymer and
compounding choice. ACM elastomers are used primarily where
combined resistance to heat and oil is required, typical uses
include O-rings, seals and gaskets mainly for the automotive
industry, particularly under-bonnet applications.
AEM (Ethylene Acrylic)
These elastomers are terpolymers of ethylene, methyl acrylate
and a cure site monomer. AEM elastomers offer good resistance
to heat ageing, weathering, aliphatic hydrocarbons and good low
temperature performance. They show poor resistance to strong
acids, hydrolyzing agents and some polar fluids.
AEM applications are similar to those of ACM elastomers, but
AEM has the advantage where low temperature flexibility is
concerned. Applications typically include shaft seals, spark
plug boots, CV joint bellows and ignition wire jackets.
AU / EU (Polyester and Polyether Urethane)
These elastomers generally show outstanding tensile strength,
tear and abrasion resistance, and give excellent protection
against oxygen and ozone (except in hot climates, due to
greater risk of microbiological attack in AU types, and
ultraviolet light in the case of EU types). EU elastomers have a
better low temperature flexibility (-35°C typically) and both
have excellent resistance to high-energy radiation.
CR (Chloroprene)
Chloroprene rubbers are essentially chlorinated polyisoprenes,
which exhibit medium resistance to high molecular weight oils.
Chloroprene rubbers contain chlorine in the polymer to reduce
the reactivity to many oxidising agents, as well as to oil and
flame. CR elastomers also have good resistance to ozone
cracking, heat ageing and chemical attack. Some of the
important applications of CR elastomers include Vee-belts,
coated fabrics, cable jackets, tyre-sidewalls, seals and gaskets in
contact with refrigerants, mild chemicals and atmospheric ozone.
CSM (Chlorosulphonylpolyethylene or
Chlorosulphonatedpolyethylene)
CSM grades contain 24-43% chlorine content to provide
excellent ozone and weather resistance, high resistance to
many oxidising and corrosive chemicals, good resistance to
dry heat to 150°C, low flammability and gas permeability, and
also good resistance to hot water (when cured with lead
oxide). The low temperature properties are generally limited,
depending on the chlorine content of the CSM grade used,
and the compression set is not very good. CSM elastomers
are generally useful in electrical applications, weather resistant
membranes, hoses and acid resistant tank linings.
ECO (Epichlorohydrin)
These halogenated linear aliphatic polyethers show excellent
resistance to ozone and weathering and very good resistance
to hydrocarbon oils bettered only by polysulphides,
fluoroelastomers and high-acrylonitrile nitrile rubbers. They
exhibit good mechanical properties but are susceptible to sour
gas attack. They are unsuitable for use with ketones and
esters, alcohols, phosphate ester hydraulic fluids, sour gas,
water and steam, and generally not recommended for rubber
to metal bonding (they are corrosive to metals). The main
applications for ECO elastomers are centred on the automotive
industry, for use as seals, gaskets, diaphragms, cable jackets,
belting, plus low temperature Natural Gas diaphragms.
Polyurethane rubbers are used where high abrasion resistance
and oil / solvent resistance are required together, e.g. hydraulic
seals and gaskets, diaphragms, hoses and roller-skate and
skateboard wheels. In all applications, consideration should be
given to hydrolysis and limited heat resistance.
A complete list of current PPE material grades
is available on our website: www.prepol.com
14
EPR/EPDM (Ethylene-Propylene)
These rubbers are mainly available in two structures – as the
copolymer (EPR), or as the terpolymer (EPDM). The properties
for both types of rubber are very similar with the polymers
exhibiting outstanding resistance to weathering, ozone, water
and steam. These rubbers have good chemical resistance and
are particularly recommended for use with phosphate ester
based hydraulic systems. They are typically used in the
production of window and door seals, wire and cable
insulations, waterproofing sheets and hoses. They are not
suitable for use with mineral oils or petroleum based fluids.
These rubbers can either be sulphur or peroxide-cured, in
general sulphur-cured grades have superior mechanical
properties and inferior high temperature properties and viceversa for peroxide cured grades.
FEP/PFA (Fluoroethylene Propylene-Perfluoroalkoxy)
These chemically modified fluorocarbon copolymers
(fluoropolymers) appear more like plastic than rubber, they are
extremely resilient and show excellent chemical resistance.
Mechanical properties are very good even at high
temperatures. Non-stick characteristics are excellent and
abrasion resistance can be classified as moderate. The
effective continuous temperature range is from -100°C to
+200/250°C for FEP/PFA respectively. Typical applications
include door seals and sealing systems in diaphragm pumps,
cryogenic plants, sealed filter units, corrosive fluid plants, relief
and emergency valves and pneumatics. Fluoropolymers are
often used to encapsulate other elastomers to produce
composite seals.
FEPM or TFE/P (Tetrafluoroethylene/Propylene)
A copolymer of tetrafluoroethylene and propylene, FEPM is
solely produced by the Asahi Glass Company, and sold under
the name Aflas®. FEPM vulcanisates exhibit similar thermal
stability to FKM elastomers, but better electrical resistance
and a different chemical resistance profile. FEPM compounds
have the ability to resist a wide range of chemical
combinations such as sour gas and oil, acids and strong
alkalis, ozone and weather, steam and water, all hydraulic and
brake fluids, alcohols, amine corrosion inhibitors, water-based
drilling and completion fluids, high pH completion fluids and
high energy radiation. However, they are not compatible with
aromatic hydrocarbons, chlorinated hydrocarbons (e.g. M.E.K.
and acetone), organic acetates and organic refrigerants.
FEPM elastomers are suitable for long-term service in air up to
225°C and for short periods up to 250°C, but are limited in
low temperature applications. They are finding wide
applications mainly in oil-field operations and chemical
processing as O-rings, seals and gaskets, cable insulating and
jacketing and hose liners.
Elastomer types and properties
Elastomer types and properties
FFKM/FFPM (Perfluoroelastomer)
FFKMs exhibit outstanding high temperature properties and
are the most chemically resistant elastomer available;
effectively a rubber form of PTFE. They are superior to FKM
elastomers, showing continuous dry-heat resistance to 260°C,
with extended performance to 330°C for high temperature
grades. They are extremely inert chemically and show
excellent resistance to the majority of chemicals that attack
other elastomers. Other notable properties include excellent
resistance to oil-well sour gases, high temperature steam, low
out-gassing under vacuum and good long-term high
temperature compression set resistance. Typical applications
are sealing systems for oil refineries, pharmaceutical plant,
aerospace, chemical plant and the semiconductor industry.
See Page 11 for details of Perlast®, the FFKM
Perfluoroelastomer material from PPE.
FKM/FPM (Fluoroelastomer or Fluorocarbon)
This class of rubber is available as a copolymer, terpolymer or
tetrapolymer; the type determines the fluorine content and
thus, chemical resistance. FKM materials are either bisphenolcured or peroxide-cured for better resistance to wet
environments. General properties include excellent resistance
to heat, aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, chlorinated
solvents and petroleum fluids. Fluoroelastomers have a clear
superiority in O-ring sealing force retention over most other
oil-heat resistant rubbers with the exception of
perfluoroelastomers such as Perlast® (see page 11).
FKM/FPMs do show poor resistance to ethers, ketones,
esters, amines and hydraulic fluids based on phosphate
esters. Special compounds are required to provide suitable
resistance to hot water, steam and wet chlorine. Typical
applications are for valve-stem seals, crankshaft seals, diesel
engine cylinder O-ring seals, pinion seals, glow plug seals,
ducting expansion joints and seals for the aerospace industry.

Elastomer types and properties
Elastomer types and properties
Copolymer, Terpolymer or Tetrapolymer
Fluoroelastomer or fluorocarbon (FKM/FPM) materials are available in three general types depending
on their fluorine content and the number of monomers contained within the polymer:
Type
Copolymer
(A/E)
Terpolymer
(B or F)
Tetrapolymer
(G)
Fluorine
Content
Advantages/Disadvantages
65-65.5%
Contains two monomers (simple molecules from which polymers are built).
General purpose, most common, most widely used for sealing.
Best compression set and very good fluid resistance.
Often referred to as 'A' and 'E' type grades.
These are normally the least cost types of compound.
67%
67-69%
Contains three monomers.
Better fluid and oil/solvent resistance than copolymers but at the expense of
poorer compression set resistance.
Often referred to as 'B' or ‘F’ type grades.
‘F’ grades offer superior fluid resistance over ‘B’ grades.
Contains four monomers.
Improved fluid, acid, solvent resistance over other types. Compression set better
than terpolymers. These are sometimes known as 'G' grades.
In addition, certain tetrapolymers have good low-temperature flexibility.
Tetrapolymers are the most costly of the three types listed here.
Tetrapolymer materials can also be referred to as GF, GLT and GFLT grades
which correspond to Viton® FKM materials.
GF –
Good high temperature performance and chemical resistance but reduced
mechanical properties and low temperature performance.
GLT – Improved low temperature performance but reduced chemical resistance.
GFLT – Good all-round low/high temperature performance and chemical resistance.
Viton® is a registered trade name of Dupont Performance Elastomers.
FVMQ (Fluorosilicone)
FVMQ elastomers are modified silicone rubbers, which have
many of the properties associated with silicone rubber but
show great improvements in oil and fuel resistance. Typical
properties include excellent resistance to ozone, oxygen,
weathering and non-adhesive characteristics. They have a
very wide service temperature range and low chemical
reactivity. They do however have low tensile strength, poor
tear and abrasion resistance and high gas permeability. Typical
uses include sealing systems requiring wide temperature
exposure and resistance to aerospace fuels and oils.
IIR (Butyl)
This copolymerised structure of isobutene and isoprene has
an effective long-term temperature range of -50° to +120°C.
The key properties for this rubber are very low gas
permeability and water absorption with very good resistance
to ozone, weathering and oxygen. All grades have very low
elastic resilience and are suitable for use with many fluids
except for mineral and petroleum based chemicals. Typical
applications are tyre inner tubes, vacuum seals and
membranes, pharmaceutical enclosures and shock absorbers.
IR (Polyisoprene)
Synthetic version of natural rubber; its strengths and uses are
similar, but its relative purity means that IR materials tend to
16
crystallise less at low temperatures. Consequently, it has
better performance at lower temperatures but, at normal
temperatures, its performance is inferior to natural rubber.
NBR (Nitrile or Acrylonitrile Butadine)
The properties of this copolymer are governed by the ratios of
the two monomers acrylonitrile and butadiene. Nitrile rubber
can be classified as three types based on the acrylonitrile
(ACN) content (low, medium and high). The higher the ACN
content, the higher will be the resistance to aromatic
hydrocarbons. The lower the ACN content, the better will be
the low temperature flexibility. The most commonly specified,
and the best overall balance for most applications is,
therefore, 'medium nitrile'.
High Nitrile:
>45% ACN content
Medium Nitrile:
30 – 45% ACN content
Low Nitrile:
< 30% ACN content
General characteristics of NBRs include excellent resistance to
aliphatic hydrocarbon oils, fuels and greases, very low gas
permeability, improved heat ageing and ozone resistance,
improved tensile and abrasion strength, hardness, density and
low compression set. Typical applications are as gaskets and
seals, hoses and cable jacketing in hydraulic/pneumatic
systems and oil/hydrocarbon based environments.
HNBR (Hydrogenated Nitrile)
HNBR elastomers are a saturated version of NBR, showing
superior heat resistance. General properties include excellent
wear resistance, high tensile strength, high hot-tear resistance,
low compression set and very good ozone and weathering
resistance. They also exhibit good resistance to many oil
additives, hydrogen sulphide, high-energy radiation and amines
present in crude oil.
HNBRs fill the gap between NBRs and FKMs in many areas of
application where resistance to heat and aggressive media are
required simultaneously, and may therefore provide a lower cost
alternative to FKM elastomers. Typical applications are in extreme
environments such as oil-fields and under-bonnet automotive.
SBR (Styrene-Butadiene)
This copolymer of styrene and butadiene is used in general
applications where exposure to mineral oils is not required.
Originally developed to replace natural rubber, it performs
better at high temperatures, although tensile strength,
resilience and abrasion resistance are inferior at lower
temperatures. SBRs have inferior weathering and chemical
resistance to most other elastomers. Typical applications are
sealing requirements for hydraulic braking systems.
TFE/P (Tetrafluoroethylene/Propylene)
See FEPM.
VMQ/PVMQ (Silicone)
These elastomers, which include the phenyl substituted
silicones are noted for their high and low temperature
applications (phenyl silicones offer exceptionally low temperature
flexibility). They have excellent resistance to ozone and
weathering and good resistance to compression set at high
temperatures. They do, however, have poor tensile strength,
low tear and abrasion resistance and high gas permeability.
Silicones have a low level of combustible components; even
when exposed to flame, the elastomer is reduced to a nonconducting silica ash. Silicones also exhibit excellent
compression set and high physiological inertness (tasteless,
odourless and completely non-toxic). Silicones are also resistant
to bacteria, fungi, a wide range of media including high energy
radiation and excellent release properties (except to glass).
Platinum-cured silicones offer enhanced levels of purity and low
extractables making them ideal for pharmaceutical, biomedical
and food & drink applications.
Elastomer types and properties
Elastomer types and properties
NR (Natural rubber )
Natural rubber (tapped from the cultivated rubber tree) exhibits
high tensile strength, abrasion resistance, resilience, tear
strength and low hysteresis. These rubbers exhibit the best
long range elasticity.
The chemically similar IR (polyisoprene) has lower strength
properties than the natural form but better low-temperature
performance. Both rubbers are susceptible to degradation by
weathering, and both show poor resistance to mineral and
petroleum-based oils and fuels.
Main applications apart from tyres are for vibration mounts,
springs and bearings.
PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene)
Polytetrafluoroethylene is not an elastomer but an extremely
inert thermoplastic, unaffected by virtually all known solvents.
It also exhibits this inert characteristic over a wide range of
temperatures. Its hardness and lack of elasticity prevents its
general use as an elastomeric sealing ring, but it is often used
as a back-up ring. Typical applications are backing rings,
bearings and non-stick requirements, or for use in composite
seals when combined with elastomers.

Elastomers for specific industries and applications
Elastomers for specific industries and applications
Semiconductor
Semiconductor production
environments represent some
of the most aggressive
environments encountered by
seals. Seals have to be made
of ultra-pure materials, survive
extreme temperatures and a
mixture of fluorinated gases.
For these reasons, seals for the semiconductor industry are at
the cutting edge of material technology.
PPE scientists and technicians have created a range of
specially developed high performance materials for use in
critical semiconductor environments. Emphasis is placed on
providing a comprehensive range of materials, including the
latest generation of Perlast® Perfluoroelastomers, which offer
enhanced performance and improved functionality.
The relentless drive to improve productivity and increase wafer
yields has resulted in increased process temperatures, use of
more aggressive gases and increased plasma density, all of
which place escalating demands on current sealing technology.
Perlast® compounds have been created to withstand
temperatures up to 330°C in aggressive media such as activated
fluorine-based chemistries. The result is a new range of materials
that will help extend maintenance cycles, reduce particle
generation and lower chamber leakage rates.
In addition, PPE can also provide FKM copolymers in black, white,
brown and green, fluorosilicones in blue and translucent, plus the
innovative Nanofluor™ ultra pure, nano-filled fluoropolymer.

Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
The Food and Drug Administration is the US Federal Agency
responsible for ensuring that foods are safe, wholesome and
sanitary; human and veterinary drugs, biological products and
medical devices are safe and effective; cosmetics are safe;
and electronic products that emit radiation are safe.
Although the jurisdiction of the FDA is in theory restricted to
the United States, FDA regulations are commonly adopted as
international control standards.
Through its Codes of Federal Regulations the FDA provides a
list of materials and chemicals that are approved for contact
with foodstuffs. CFR 21.177.2600 describes the relevant
regulations for ‘Rubber articles intended for repeated use’.
This lists the ingredients and any quantitative limits that may
be used in a rubber compounds for moulded products
intended for repeated use in all stages of food manufacture,
preparation and transportation.
CFR21.177.2600 also specifies limits on extractable products
if the elastomer is to be used in contact with aqueous or fatty
foods. The regulation specifies extraction test limits in water
and n-hexane. It is important to note that for an elastomer to
be compliant to these requirements, then this claim must be
supported with appropriate documentation.
The FDA does not ‘approve’ products to CFR21.177.2600; it
is for the manufacturer of the finished rubber product to
demonstrate compliance. It is also important to note that
whilst a component may be made from a material that is
suitable for food contact, this does not mean that the part is
technically suitable for its intended application.
PPE offers an extensive range of FDA-compliant material
grades that is unrivalled in the sealing industry. The range
includes EPDM, nitrile (NBR), HNBR, silicone, chloroprene,
fluoroelastomer (FKM) and perfluoroelastomer (FFKM).
In addition, PPE has developed an exciting new range of metal
detectable elastomer compounds designed specifically to meet
the stringent demands of the food processing industry. The
DETECTASEAL™ range includes FDA-complaint grades with
compounds available in blue, white and black.
DETECTASEAL™ O-rings have been tested and proven in use
at leading food manufacturing plants in the UK.
PPE materials which are suitable for all the above
industries are listed on our website: www.prepol.com
20
Food Contact Notification (FCN)
The Food and Drug Administration Modernisation Act of 1997
provides a system whereby a manufacturer or supplier of
food-contact material may submit an FCN to the FDA
regarding the identity and use of the new food contact
substance, together with necessary data to demonstrate that
the substance is safe for its intended use. FCN is a formal
acceptance of a material by the FDA, so it is fundamentally
different to self-certification to FDA CFR21.177.2600.
An FCN application requires a detailed analysis of the
compound, its constituents, toxicological effects and intended
uses, and is much more rigorous than the requirements of
CFR21.177.2600. The complexity and high cost of the FCN
process means that only a limited range of very high
performance perfluoroelastomer materials, that are used in
critical and very demanding applications, have FCN acceptance.
PPE offers a number of perfluoroelastomer (FFKM) grades
which are FCN accepted, ranging in hardness.
USP Class VI
The United States Pharmacopeia is a US non-government
organisation that promotes public health by establishing stateof-the-art standards to ensure the quality of medicines and
other health care technologies.
Whilst this organisation is concerned with the pharmaceutical
and bio-technology industries, many manufacturers of hygienic
equipment will be producing multi-purpose designs to be used
in a range of different industry sectors.
Standards are published by the United States Pharmacopeia
in the National Formulary (USP-NF). Compliance to USP Class
VI is often requested by end users. Testing for compliance
involves an assessment of the effects of the material, and
extractables, on tissue.
PPE offers a range of material grades approved to USP 29,
NF24, 2006 for the Biological Test for Plastics,
Class VI including EPDM, Silicone, Fluoroelastomer (FKM) and
Perfluoroelastomer (FFKM).
3-A Sanitary Standards Inc.
Formed by the US food and dairy industry, 3-A Sanitary
Standards Inc. defines specifications and best practice for the
design, manufacture, installation and use of hygienic
equipment. As with FDA, the 3-A Standards are adopted on a
worldwide basis.
Standard no. 18-03, ‘3-A Sanitary Standard for multiple-use
rubber and rubber-like materials used in product contact surfaces
in dairy equipment’ describes requirements for food quality
materials that must also be suitable for cleaning and sanitising.
To comply with the requirements of the Standard, the elastomer
materials must comply with FDA CFR21.177.2600 and also be
resistant to steam sterilisation, milk fat, acid and alkali cleaning
solutions and chlorine sanitising agents. The PPE elastomers
meeting Classes I, II and III of the 3-A Standard include
Fluorocarbon (FKM), Silicone, EPDM and Nitrile, allowing
manufacturers to select the most appropriate elastomer according
to temperature, chemical and physical performance criteria.
Potable Water Grade Seals
In the UK, FDA-compliant materials approved for drinking water
applications, must also satisfy the requirement of British
Standard BS2494 (type W) for the Water Research Council in the
United Kingdom. The testing regime for WRC approval is
different to FDA testing, in that it requires elastomer products to
be tested to ensure that they do not promote the propagation of
bacteria and do not give any taint to potable water.
KTW (Germany) specifies the requirements of
elastomers in potable water as set out by the
German Technical and Scientific Association
for Gas and Water (DVGW) in the regulation
“Arbeitsblatt W270”.
In France, the medical control of the water intended for human
consumption is controlled by l’Autorite de Controle Sanitaire (ACS).
Drinking water approvals vary from country to country, although
it is common for one country to use a material that has been
approved under the standard of another country. Our technical
team can advise on which products are suitable for drinking
water applications against a number of national standards.

Dairy Industries’ or download it from our website.
Elastomers for specific industries and applications
Elastomers for specific industries and applications
Explosive Decompression Resistant
Permeation of a gas into an elastomer under high pressure
may not result in any long term effect provided the pressure is
released gradually, allowing the gas to permeate out of the
elastomer. However, if the pressure is released rapidly, the
pressurised gas can expand explosively, rupturing the
elastomer in a catastrophic manner. PPE offers a number of
materials which have been formulated to be resistant to
explosive decompression including Aflas®, FKM and HNBR
PPE posses one of the most advanced explosive
decompression testing units in Europe. Capable of testing
seals of various geometries up to 10,000 psi, under varying
compression, over any desired cycle/time within a temperature
range from subzero up to +250°C. With pressure, temperature
and pressure release cycles simulating actual field operation,
independent testing can be carried out to confirm the
performance of seal types and grades before installation (see
page 8 for more details).
Gas Specification Materials
Materials formulated in accordance with British Standard
BS2494 (type ‘G’) are suitable for gas applications in the
United Kingdom. The British Gas Specification BGC/PS/LC6
sets out the physical properties and quality requirements for
seals and gaskets used in gas applications.
PPE offers a range of nitrile (NBR) grades which are
formulated in accordance with this specification.
NES 337 Materials
Defence Standard 02-337 (NES 337) defines O-ring seals
used on UK Ministry of Defence Surface Ships & Submarines
and their associated systems and equipment. Typical system
applications include hydraulics, lubrication systems, fuel
systems and pneumatics. PPE offers a complete range of
nitrile and fluorocarbon elastomer materials to meet the
requirements of this specification.

Volume change (swell) is only an indicator of fluid compatibility and is intended as a typical guideline for comparative purposes. Fluid
attack of the polymer may affect various physical properties, including tensile strength, hardness and elongation. Elevated
temperatures can exacerbate chemical attack on elastomers, therefore in some cases it may be necessary to select special
formulations which offer improved performance. Please contact PPE for technical support and assistance when choosing the right
elastomer for a specific application.
Online Interactive Chemical Compatibility Wizard / Material Selector
The following chemical compatibility table is available as an
interactive wizard online at www.prepol.com. Simply select
the appropriate chemicals from the list and the wizard will
instantly score the various elastomer types against each
chemical individually and collectively. The wizard then allows a
shortlisting of the chemicals and finally suggests the most
appropriate PPE elastomer grades for the short-listed
chemicals, which can be further sorted and ranked by various
criteria including temperature, hardness, colour, compression
set, etc.

This section explains the key terms used to define the properties of elastomers.
Tensile Properties
Simple testing of elastomer samples in tension
is commonly used to define the strength of the
materials. The most common representation is
in the form of an engineering stress-strain
curve; engineering stress-strain uses the
original dimensions for calculations, as
opposed to the actual dimensions during
testing (the cross-section may not necessarily
remain constant during testing). A typical
engineering stress-strain curve from a tensile
test is shown opposite.
S
Elastomer terminology
Elastomer terminology
σ = Engineering stress.
ε = Engineering strain or elongation reported
as a percentage of the original gauge length.
Typical tensile stress-strain curves for elastomers
S = Stress
E = Elongation expressed as a percentage of the original gauge length (Strain)
Tensile Stress (S or σ)
The stress applied to extend the test piece, calculated as
force per unit area of the original cross-section of the test
length. Results are normally reported in MPa.
Elongation (E or ε)
The extension expressed
as a percentage of the
original test length,
produced on the test
piece by a tensile stress,
this is known as percent
strain.
Tensile Strength (TS)
The maximum tensile
stress recorded in
extending the test piece to
breaking point. Also
described as ‘ultimate
tensile stress’.
Tensile test piece
Elongation at a given stress (ES)
The tensile strain in the test length when the test piece is
subjected to a given tensile stress.
Modulus or “Stress at a given elongation” (SE)
The tensile stress in the test length at a given elongation. This
definition is widely referred to with the term ‘modulus’, and
care should be taken to avoid confusion with other uses of the
term modulus, such as Young’s Modulus, which denotes the
slope of a linear stress-strain curve. Neither Young’s Modulus
or Secant modulus are applicable to non-linear materials and
are therefore not used when referring to elastomers.
Strain Energy Density (W)
Defined as the ‘work done’ for a given strain, i.e. the area
under the stress-strain curve after a specified elongation.
Tensile Strength at break (TSb)
The tensile stress recorded at the moment of
rupture/sample failure.
Note: the values of TS and TSb may be different if after yield,
the elongation continues and is accompanied by a drop in
stress, resulting in TSb being lower than TS.
Elongation at break (Eb)
The elongation (expressed as a percentage of the original
length) at breaking point.

Elastomer terminology
Tear strength
Hardness
The median force required
to propagate a cut in a
specified trouser-shaped
test piece by tearing,
divided by the thickness of
the test piece.
The resistance of a material surface to
penetration by an indentor of specified
dimensions under specified load. The
hardness property is quoted against
two common systems (which do not
necessarily correlate):
This term indicates the resistance to propagation of small precut in an elastomer. The most common test uses the “Trouser
Tear” method (ASTM D624, Die T), with the test sample
having the shape described in the title.
IRHD – International Rubber
Hardness Degrees
Based on measuring the penetration of a specified rigid ball in a
test specimen under a specified dead load. A scaled down
version of this dead load instrument is available for conducting
measurements on small cross sections and thicknesses IRHD `M`.
Friction, Wear and Abrasion
The resistance to wear of a rubber when its surface is
subjected to mechanical action. It is usually expressed as an
abrasion resistance index referred to a standard rubber and is
applicable to all methods.
Friction
Friction can be defined as the resistance to sliding of one
material over another. Testing of friction with relation to
elastomers is mainly associated with the tyre industry, and can
be split into two separate categories: static and dynamic.
Testing usually is performed using a ‘sled’ of material loaded
with additional weights to produce a normal force. This sled is
then slid over a surface of a known surface-finish. The
resultant resistant force can be related back to the coefficient
of friction (µ) using the formula F = µR, where F is the resistant
force and R is the normal force. There are numerous
drawbacks to this method, as elastomers do not fully comply
with this equation, but data can be comparable.
Abrasion resistance index
The expression of abrasion resistance, being the ratio of the
volume loss of a standard rubber to the volume loss of a
rubber under test, determined under the same specified
conditions, expressed as a percentage.
The test involves the removal of rubber using an abrasive cloth
on a rotating cylinder. The volume loss of the test rubber is
calculated from the same test conditions to remove 200mg of
the appropriate standard rubber.
48
For curved surfaces the ‘Apparent
Hardness’ is often quoted, as IRHD and
Shore A values tend to be more
variable when measured across small
curved surfaces, as is the
case with O-rings.
Shore hardness degrees – the testing
equipment used to measure hardness
are often referred to as durometers
(type A or D), both utilise a calibrated
spring to act on a specified indentor to
penetrate the test specimen.
The hardness scales are quoted in
degrees from 0 (infinitely soft) to 100
(bone hard).
Compressive Properties
Compression set
A measure of a material’s elasticity after prolonged action of
compression, either under ambient conditions, or whilst being
exposured to elevated temperatures.
Compression set is often
used as a measure of the
state of cure or strength of
crosslinking; it is quoted
extensively for sealing
applications as an attempt
to relate material
characteristics to leakage
prevention, where recovery
of the seal’s shape is
required after distortion.
Two sections of the same
O-ring. The section on the
left displays compression
set after being compressed
at high temperature for a
period of time.
Physical and chemical
changes that can occur to
an elastomer at elevated
temperatures, may prevent
the elastomer from fully
recovering its original shape
on removal of the applied
compressive strain – the
result is known as a ‘set’,
and is quantified as a
percentage loss in shape
compared to the original
dimensions.
ASTM D395 defines two different test methods (A and B).
Method A is not often stated, but relates to a constant load.
Method B is the most common method where a sample of
specific dimensions is compressed to a fixed deflection, after
exposure to elevated temperatures, the sample is removed from
the fixture and allowed to rest under ambient conditions before
the final dimensions are measured. Another less commonly
used variant of this test is found within ISO 815, where the
samples can be allowed to cool while still under compression.
Compressive stress relaxation
Elastomers are viscoelastic materials which essentially behave
both as an elastic solid and as a viscous liquid. Constant
deformation of an elastomer can lead to internal structural
changes, which in turn can alter the stress-strain
characteristics of the material under load.
When compressed, energy is both stored and dissipated by
the material i.e. both both elastic and viscous effects occur.
Therefore, as an elastomer is compressed, it will generate a
reaction force (or ‘sealing force’). However, over time, the
stored energy will decrease, reducing the initial sealing force.
This decrease in sealing force is known as ‘Compressive
Stress Relaxation’ (CSR). CSR is sometimes referred to as the
retained sealing force in the seals and gaskets sector.
The phenomenon can be accelerated by exposure to
chemicals and/or elevated temperatures which attack the
polymer backbone or cross-linking system.
CSR is measured by compressing a standard test piece to a
constant strain and measuring the force exerted by the test
piece at specific intervals under specified conditions. The
decaying force is expressed as a percentage of the initial
counterforce.
Compressive Modulus
Compressive modulus is an important physical property of
elastomers and determines the amount of stress a material will
exhibit for a given amount of compressive strain.
Elastomer terminology
Elastomer terminology
The testing is sometimes referred to as ‘load deflection’ testing.
The results of the test are highly dependent upon sample
dimensions, due to the ‘shape-factor’ effect when testing
elastomers. The ‘shape-factor’ is a ratio of the area of the test
sample, compared to the area of the sample that is ‘free-tobulge’; it is noted that a sample with a high surface area, but a
low area free-to-bulge will show rapid increases in modulus.
Permeation
The permeation of gases or vapours through the elastomer.
This is an important property if the elastomer is being used to
prevent leakage of gases/vapours from chambers, etc. The
permeation rate is governed by the type of elastomer used
and the composition of the final compound (filler type,
plasticisers, etc). The degree of permeation generally reduces
from silicone elastomers (the highest), followed by NR, EPDM,
SBR, CR, NBR, FKM and FFKM, ECO and IIR.
Explosive Decompression
Permeation of a gas into an elastomer under high pressure
may not result in any long term effect provided the pressure is
released gradually, allowing the gas to permeate out of the
elastomer. However, if the pressure is released rapidly, the
pressurised gas can expand suddenly, rupturing the elastomer
in a catastrophic manner. Specific elastomer compounds are
required to eliminate this effect, with the formulated materials
tending to be very hard. See page 8 for information on
Explosive Decompression testing.

Chemical properties
Weathering, Ozone and UV resistance
All types of elastomers
are susceptible to
chemical attack of
varying degrees. The
compatibility of a
rubber in a particular
environment is a function
of both the polymer
structure, and the way in
which it has been formulated.
Exposure of elastomers to weathering can result in deterioration
of the product due mainly to the effects of sunlight, in particular
the UV (ultra-violet) component of the light spectrum. UV light
has the effect of scission of the main polymer chain, leading to
rapid degradation of the elastomer. This degradation manifests
itself in the form of surface cracks often referred to as crazing
and can allow ingress of water to leach out soluble components
as well as leading to failure of the seal. This form of attack is
most notable in materials that have unsaturation (carbon-carbon
double-bonds) in the backbone of the polymer, and is
accelerated by stressing the material (stress-induced chemical
attack). To combat this, chemical UV stabilisers can be
introduced into the formulation and carbon black is generally
recognised as one of the most effective UV protection systems
for use with elastomers.
The O-ring on the right
has swollen due to
chemical incompatibility.
Chemical incompatibility can have various effects on the
rubber compound, depending on the exact form of chemical
attack, with the effects being exaggerated or accelerated at
elevated temperatures. The physical effects can be seen as:
- Embrittlement and hardening
- Softening and becoming tacky
- Swelling
- Volume loss
Similarly, Ozone (a powerful oxidising agent) can degrade
elastomeric components in a similar manner to UV. Use of
anti-ozonants and the careful choice of elastomers (saturated
polymers) can significantly reduce/eliminate this problem.
The most common effect is swelling – either due to a solubility
effect, or chemical attack, resulting in a change in the
elastomer’s polarity. Though the volume increase may be
reversible, the effects on the polymer may not be.
Low temperature resistance
Embrittlement and hardening are indicative of additional
cross-linking, and softening is indicative of degradation of the
polymer/crosslink network. Volume loss is most usually linked
to extraction of plasticisers and process aids, resulting in a
material that is less flexible.
The low temperature resistance of any elastomer is dependent
upon the material’s glass transition temperature (Tg). This
is the temperature at which the elastomer changes from a
rubber-like material to a brittle material. As an elastomer
approaches its glass transition temperature, it would generally
be expected that the tensile strength, hardness, modulus and
compression set would all increase. The Tg for any given
elastomer is mainly a function of the polymer structure, but
can be altered slightly by the use of oils.
Numerous methods exist for determining the cold temperature
performance of an elastomer. Differential Scanning Calorimetry
(DSC) is the most common method of evaluating the glass
transition region itself. This method uses accurate
measurements of enthalpy changes of materials over a given
temperature range. Analysis of this data allows precise
measurements of the glass transition.
Heat resistance and accelerated ageing
The controlled deterioration by air at elevated temperatures
and atmospheric pressure after which physical
properties are measured and compared with un-aged test
pieces. Typical properties measured are changes
in hardness, elongation at break, ultimate tensile stress,
and stress at various strains.
Heat resistance and accelerated ageing is also linked to
‘outgassing’, where an elastomer, on initial exposure to
elevated temperatures, may lose some process oils or lowmolecular weight fragments of the polymer. In some
applications, this loss of polymeric species may interfere with
critical components or processes. Typically, this weight loss
can be measured using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA),
often coupled to further equipment if the specific constituents
of the weight loss need to be identified.
50
Other tests focus on more physical parameters. For example
the temperature retraction (TR) test involves immersing a
stretched, standard test piece in a bath at -70°C until it
becomes rigid, then, allowing the sample to retract freely and
raising the temperature at 1°C/min. The temperature at which
the test piece has retracted 10% of the original stretch is
referred to as ‘TR10’. A value appended to TR10 defines the
initial stretch, eg. TR10/50 test will stretch the sample by 50%.
An alternative method of describing the low temperature
stiffness of an elastomer is to adopt the Gehman test (ISO
1432 : 1998). This test method measures the torsional
modulus of a standard test piece at a range of temperatures.
The relative modulus values at the measured temperatures are
determined (relative modulus at a given temperature is the
ratio of the torsional modulus at that temperature to the
torsional modulus at 23°C). The temperature at which the
relative modulus is 10 is reported as T10 or 5 as T5, etc.
See ‘Thermal Analysis' on page 8 for details of DSC and TR
testing services.
Elastomer terminology
Elastomer terminology
Peroxide or sulphur cure
Out-gasing
Several cross-linking (curing) mechanisms can be employed
for the different elastomer types, common amongst these are
sulphur-cured systems and peroxide-cured systems. In
general sulphur-cured systems offer better original mechanical
properties but worst heat ageing properties and peroxide
systems vice-versa.
The release of gas from a material, or low molecular portions of
the material. These gases, together with gases upon the surface
of the solid, can be released into a vacuum environment to form
a perceived leak. At ambient conditions the predominant outgased substances are water vapour and hydrocarbons. The
rate of out-gasing increases at higher temperatures, which
increases permeation rate and can initiate chemical reactions
within the elastomer that release other gases. Out-gased
substances can condense onto surfaces or react with process
chemicals which may inhibit performance.
Coefficient of thermal expansion
All materials (except for a very small number of exceptions)
expand with increasing temperature. The degree to which any
material expands is characteristic of that material. The value is
expressed in terms of the amount of linear or volumetric
expansion that occurs with every unit of length or volume for
every degree of temperature increase.
Volume change
The degree to which a material expands or contracts during
exposure to operating environments is an important factor to
consider in any sealing application. Operating fluids can be
absorbed into a material causing it to swell. Operating fluids
can also wash out ingredients within the material causing it
to decrease in volume, sometimes both can happen; an
initial swelling followed by shrinkage. Some high temperature
and chemical environments can cause the cross-link
structure to tighten causing a decrease in volume.
Measurements of volume before and after exposure are
expressed as a percent change.
Tolerances
The amount of variation permitted on dimensions or surfaces
during the manufacturing process. The tolerance is equal to
the difference between the maximum and minimum limits of
any specified dimension. As metals are hard and interference
may prevent assembly, they are usually toleranced as a fit.
Bores are defined as a dimension plus an allowable variation,
and shafts are defined as a dimension minus an allowable
variation. As elastomer parts, such as O-rings, are flexible and
are typically designed to operate in interference (compression
or tension), they are typically given a ± tolerance for diameter
and cross section.
O-ring tolerances for each standard size can be found in the
O-ring size tables in section 12, page 57 of this publication.
We recommend the use of ISO3302-1 Class M2, X2 in the
design of custom elastomer components – see page 56.

Hardware design
Hardware design guidelines for O-rings
An O-ring, or toroidal seal, is the most
common type of seal used in the world
today. Used to form a physical barrier to
prevent the mixing of gases or liquid fluids,
the simple toroidal shape of an O-ring has
proven to offer high sealing efficiency
across a wide range of applications.
The sealing mechanism of an O-ring is a two stage process;
compression and force. The initial compression (squeeze)
upon the O-ring forms a physical barrier between the two
fluids, forming the initial seal. It is therefore important to
accurately control the amount of compression that the O-ring
is subjected to. The elastomer acts like an incompressible
viscous fluid with a very high surface tension. When acted
upon by a differential pressure then the O-ring translates this
into force acting upon and normal to the mating surface.
Rod Seal
Piston Seal
It is this force that forms the high pressure capability of the
O-ring. It is important that the pressure can energise the
O-ring to form this secondary sealing mechanism and hence
free-space must be left in the groove, taking into account
tolerance stack-ups and differential thermal expansion.
Four typical groove geometries (as shown in diagram below)
are as follows:• Piston seal
• Rod seal
• Face seal
• Trapped seal
Face Seal
Trapped Seal
To achieve installation, each of these seal types requires different levels of stretch. To achieve a good seal, the O-ring must be
installed into suitable hardware to create a sealing system. Various international standards govern the specifications of such
sealing systems:
SAE AS568 O-ring sizes
SAE AS4716 groove sizing for piston and rod seals
British Standard BS1806 O-ring and groove sizing for imperial (British) nominal sizes
British Standard BS4518 O-ring and groove sizing for metric nominal sizes
52
Hardware design
Hardware design guidelines for O-rings
For the standard O-ring sizes listed in this brochure
we recommend their use in grooves as defined in
the above AS and BS standards, up to the
maximum operating temperature of the material.
These standards are available from the relevant
governing bodies; or by using the ‘Hardware
Design Tool’ found in the ‘Technical’ section of
our website; www.prepol.com. This online tool
quickly identifies the best fit standard sized O-ring
and provides groove dimensions for the most
common AS and BS size seals used in plant
equipment, specifically, rod seals, piston seals,
face seals and trapped seals. It also provides a
detailed technical drawing of the groove showing
all dimensional measurements which can be
printed off and included in other reports and
drawings. For semiconductor applications, please
refer to our semiconductor brochure for static
groove sizing, as materials developed for this
specific industry present different characteristics.
O-rings will operate successfully at high pressures, as
shown below, above these pressures the shear
stresses will overcome the capability of the material
and cause pressure extrusion. In applications
operating at high pressure, the use of back-up rings is
common practice to prevent extrusion of the O-ring.
Approximate extrusion pressure for a given diametral clearance
Combinations of pressure
and clearance that lie to
the right of the pertinent
line will result in
extrusion of the seal.
For non-standard sizes,
high pressure applications
or advice on custom high
performance sealing
systems please contact

department.

To use:
O-ring tolerances
O ring tolerances to ISO3601-1 ‘Aerospace Standard’
Descend I/Dia column to required size. Read-off the tolerance to the right of the size.
If required size is not listed, go to the first size greater size and read-off the tolerance to the right.
Example: O-Ring to be measured is 17.00.
Descend I/Dia column to 18.00 (first size greater than 17.00) and read of tolerance to right, i.e. +/-0.20.
Notes:
For sizes above 400.00, tolerance as per BS1806 (see pages 57-62).
Cross section tolerances for ISO3601-1 are detailed below:

O-ring tolerances
Moulding tolerances according to ISO3302-1 (=BS3734-1)
Classes
The standard details four classes of mouldings and four classes for flash, adopted by PPE as follows:Class M2, X2 = High quality mouldings with accurate flash.
Dimensions
The standard details two types of dimension, as follows:F = Fixed dimensions
The dimensions are not affected by deforming influences such as flash thickness or lateral displacement of different mould parts
(upper and lower parts or cores).
C = Closure dimensions
These dimensions can be affected by variation in flash thickness or lateral displacement of different mould parts and therefore require
greater tolerances that those of fixed dimensions.
# = Dimension #
Example of a height dimension that is not affected by flash thickness, therefore this is considered to be a ‘fixed’ dimension.
Dimension # greater than
