#Analysis and Application Advantages of Coated O-Ring Technology**

## **1. Overview**

The encapsulated O-ring is a combination of rubber elasticity and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) ®） A high-performance sealing component with chemical resistance, consisting of an elastic rubber core (such as silicone or fluororubber) and an outer coating of Teflon ®  FEP/PFA layer * * composition. This design significantly improves chemical corrosion resistance, gas penetration resistance, and wear resistance while maintaining rubber compression resilience, making it suitable for long-term sealing needs under extreme working conditions.

|* * Resistance to gas permeation * * | Poor | Extremely low permeability | Improved airtightness|

|* * Friction coefficient * * | High (0.5~1.0) | Extremely low (0.1~0.2) | Low friction, anti-wear|

|* * Temperature Range * * | -60 ℃~200 ℃ | -200 ℃~260 ℃ | Suitable for a wide temperature range|

###* * (2) Key performance improvement**

-* * Long lifespan * *: Teflon ® Layer reduces wear and tear, and the dynamic sealing life is more than 5 times longer than that of ordinary O-rings.   

-Anti compression permanent deformation: The rubber core provides elasticity, and the outer coating prevents hardening/embrittlement (stable at -50 ℃~200 ℃).   

-* * Zero penetration seal * *: Teflon ® Dense structure blocks gas/liquid permeation, suitable for high-purity media such as semiconductors and chemicals.   

-* * Resistant to extreme media * *: can resist strong acids (sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid), strong bases, organic solvents, and oxidizing media.
