Superior Gasket Quality
Vulcan Seals gaskets are produced to be the highest quality available in the market. We have eliminated common product issues found in the market, guaranteeing a consistent fit and reliable performance.
- Minimal encapsulation-to-core gap - reducing the potential for encapsulation damage
- Superior gasket flatness - ensuring even contact across the sealing surface
- Smooth sealing surface - free from warps and kinks to ensure no potential leak paths
- Exceptional chemical resistance - a cost-efficient replacement for FFKM seals for aggressive chemicals
What are Encapsulated Kamlock™ Gaskets?
Encapsulated gaskets by Vulcan Seals for the universal sealing of cam and groove hose couplings.
The rectangular cross-section inner core of silicone or Viton™ rubber is protected by an encapsulation of FEP, providing extreme chemical and high temperature resistance.
Features
- Universal cam and groove hose coupling seal
- FEP encapsulation
- Silicone or Viton™ inner core
- Extreme chemical resistance
- Wide temperature range
- Non-contaminating
- Large range of sizes
Benefits
- No need to specify different elastomer materials for different applications
- Leak-free performance: low compression set and elastomer core energiser avoids cold flow leakage
- Easy installation and maintenance due to the non-stick surface with low coefficient of friction
- Sanitary, sterilisable and FDA / EC specification compliant encapsulation
- Superior seal for bulk liquid transfer couplings in manufacturing, distribution or storage
- Elimination of coupling leakage from chemical attack or creep issues, unlike traditional solid PTFE gaskets
Material Options
| Encapsulation | FEP |
| Inner core | Silicone or Viton™ |
White silicone elastomer core is also available, with the same physical properties and sealing performance as a red silicone core, for operation temperatures from -60°C (-75°F) to +205°C (+400°F)
The white colour is ideal for use in pharmaceutical, hygienic and sanitary applications, where red silicone may not be suitable. Contact us to discuss any demand requirements.
