Quickly. We can ship prototype compression molded seals in two weeks, LSR molded parts in 4-6 weeks, and cut elastomer, plastics and foams/sponges in hours or days. FDA and USP Cl VI seals in stock ship same day. Seal materials and profiles in bio pharma process applications are optimized to resist thermal, chemical and radiation sterilization while maintaining long term compression set resistance. High purity or neutral materials such as PTFE. FFKM (perfluoro elastomer) and VMQ (silicone) are prevalent in these applications. Novel design modifications often focus on limiting seal surface contact with process fluids to minimize any downstream contamination from the seal material itself. Quality comes first with Darcoid.
