Guide to Chemical Processing Rubber

If you’re looking to source the best rubber product for your application, you’ve come to the right place. As leading manufacturers of custom rubber products, TRP Polymer Solutions develops a variety of chemical resistant elastomer products for the chemical processing industry, including FFKM chemical resistant seals and composite PTFE seal components.

Chemical resistant elastomers for the chemical processing industry

• Aggressive and volatile chemicals. These require special care when handling to ensure the safety of the operator and the immediate working environment. As such, the materials that come into contact with them need to exhibit superb chemical and temperature resistance.
• Chemical resistant and durable. TRP Polymer Solutions offers chemical resistant rubber seals with durability and reliability at the forefront of their design. This enables them to withstand extreme environments in the Chemical Processing Industry.
• Reduced maintenance time. Working closely with our customers to assess their individual requirements, TRP Polymer Solutions uses all of our 25 years of experience and expertise to manufacture custom rubber seals that are extremely durable and therefore greatly reduce your maintenance time.

25 years of experience manufacturing chemical resistant rubber promise to greatly reduce your maintenance time.

Our products are derived from a range of chemical resistant rubber materials that are suitable for use within the chemical processing industry, including:

1. TRPlast™ Perfluoroelastomer (FFKM): Uniquely developed by TRP Polymer Solutions, is available in various grades to create the most chemical resistant FFKM seal for your application. See our full list of chemical resistant elastomer grades.
2. Composite PTFE seal components: Are extremely durable and cost-effective for use in the chemical processing industries. For example, in applications involving chemical processing equipment and chemical transport.

Choosing the best chemical resistant material

To make the ordering process as quick and easy as possible, we recommend first evaluating whether FFKM or PTFE is likely to be the most compatible material for your environment. If you are unsure, our experts will be more than happy to advise.

Whether you need a material that will perform optimally with a range of chemicals or have a very specific environment with niche requirements, our quick and easy Chemical Resistance Guide will enable you to discover which materials could be best suited to your application and, crucially, which ones to avoid.
