HY29 is glass fiber filled PTFE material. Proven successful in compressor applications, it is the recommended grade for carbon monoxide applications, and is BAM (Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und –prüfung) certified for use in oxygen gas applications. HY29 is a filled PTFE alloy with chemical inertness except for molten alkali metals and hydrogen fluoride gas, and is unique amongst traditional filled PTFE’s in its white color.
Suitable applications: Industrial gases, Chemicals
HY52 works well in most air compressor applications and is known for its continuous outstanding performance in non-lubricated applications.
Suitable applications: Air, Industrial gases
The properties of HY54 provide a very versatile material grade that has been successfully applied in a multitude of applications, with gas conditions from wet through to dry, in both lubricated and non-lubricated service.
Suitable applications: Air, Industrial gases, Natural gas, Refinery, Olefins, Chemicals, Refrigeration
HY60 is a well-proven filled PTFE grade that provides consistent performance in pure or oxygen rich compressor applications.
Suitable applications: Industrial gases
HY79 is premium material formulated specifically for demanding air compression applications in lubricated or non-lubricated service, exhibiting higher stiffness and less tendency for extrusion than traditional filled PTFE based materials.
Suitable applications: Air
HY121 offers the advantages of a low friction material with excellent wear resistance at very low dew points.
Suitable applications: Industrial gases, Natural gas, Refinery, Olefins
HY509 is a traditional glass/moly filled PTFE material, with proprietary fiber type which prevents highly abrasive wear against soft counterfaces which is seen with other commercial offerings of this standard material.
Suitable applications: Air, Industrial gases, Natural gas, Refinery, Olefins, Alcohols, Chemicals
This specially formulated low creep PTFE compound is intended primarily for gas compressor rod packings, piston rings and rider bands in non-lube conditions where the gas is dry or bone dry with a dew point of -60°C or lower.
Suitable applications: Air, Industrial gases, Natural gas, Refinery, Olefins
