Highest demands on modern sealings
Due to the continuous improvement of the manufacturing

processes regarding effectiveness and efficiency the demands
on elastomer sealings is also constantly in the increase. The
demands however differ greatly depending on the utilisation,
the application area as well as the industry. Even within a pre
cisely determined industrial sector it is not uncommon to have
various definitions of requirements for the sealings. There is
a growing trend for individualisation of the sealing solutions.
Only high-quality and precisely processed materials can meet
the many individual requirements. Due to the decades of
experience, our exquisite knowledge of the industry and last
but not least our extraordinary customer relations we at COG
master that challenge. And on more than one occasion have
we been able to pleasantly surprise our customers with new
sealing solutions.
Standards for precision-ORings:

DIN 3771 and ISO 3601
The basic prerequisite for our premium products is a
continuously high quality in both the choice of materials
as well as the manufacturing of the final products. COG
exclusively produces and sells precision-ORings abiding by
the standards DIN 3771 and ISO 3601. The DIN 3771 defines
the geometric requirements, measurements and tolerances
for precision-ORings. DIN 3771 is a German Metric standard.
There has repeatedly been some confusion e.g. in regard to
tolerances, when dealing with countries where the inch is
the common measuring unit. In order to bring the imperial
and metrical system in accord the new standard ISO 3601
was introduced essentially based on existing standards for
precision-ORings. For anybody involved in these matters the
standard ISO 3601 offers a certain security in dealing with
designers and buyers using the imperial system (i.e. measuring
in inches). The existing measurements from the standard DIN
3771 are still valid and therefore in current use.
Standards overview
for industrial applications
In many applications different standards apply for the
materials used. This can also apply to elastomer sealings.
In such cases certificates for the employed materials in
those fields are indispensable. It is always best to seek
professional advice in these matters. Why not contact our
engineers in the Application Technology department and
benefit from our know how we are glad to help.

The right choice in sealing material
In engineering, where the critical parts, such

as sealings e.g., are concerned, the engineer
or user is confronted first and foremost with
the question of the right choice in material. For
security reasons developers ought to use very
high quality material for the initial equipment,
e.g. FFKM. This is highly resistant against most
media even in high temperatures further
more the physical properties are convincing
and hence provide ideal sealing results. How
ever the cost of those materials exceeds most
budgets by far and therefore the final product
might not be put on the market at a market
able price especially in times like today an
argument of increasing importance. Therefore
a thorough examination is essentially important
when choosing the material in order to deter
mine the ideal sealing solution.
In addition to choosing the ideal material, ques

tions regarding the correct type of seal (e.g.
design, geometry, sealing size or the groove
design) may be deciding factors for choosing
the ideal sealing. In case you do not have exact
specifications for your project or should other
questions occur, our Application Technology
team will be happy to advise you thoroughly
and competently!
In general the materials have to be examined

according to three requirement profiles:
1. Operation temperatures:
Which range of temperature will the sealing be exposed to?
How low is the lowest, how high the highest temperature? Is
the exposure to these temperature ranges merely momentary
or constant?
2. Chemical resistance:
Which media must the sealing be resistant against yet seal
perfectly? Is any interaction to be expected, i.e. application in
acids or bases? Of which temperatures are the media to be
sealed? Is oil or fat used during assembly?
3. Mechanical properties:
How is the sealing used? Is it supposed to be a latent, static
seal or a non-latent, dynamic seal? In the case of dynamic
sealings: How high is the mechanical stress to be expected?
Is the sealing in motion on the rare occasion, or on a regular or
even constant basis?

Highest demands
materials exposed to aggressive media
Developers, Engineers and users often encounter difficulties when a technical equip
ment or machine comes into contact with especially aggressive media. Often enough this
damages the more sensitive parts, such as e.g. the elastomer sealings, resulting in shorter maintenance intervals, unplanned
machine shutdowns or in the worst case even leakages, which may lead to production stop. COG has designed various differ
ent materials for use in aggressive environments and can fulfil the most divers requirements with their large product range.
HF 875 (FKM)
Vi 981 (FEPM)
BF 750 (FKM)
This multi-purpose sealing material, a highly

fluoric polymer, was designed especially
for high sealing demands when exposed
to aggressive media. Even nitric acid and
sodium hydroxide have only slight effects
on the material. This FKM-compound is
also ideally suited for applications with fuels
(carburettor fuels, diesel fuels). The fields of
application range from chemical industries
to engineering to process engineering in
short - all fields of application, where both
thermic as well as high chemical resistance
are indispensable.
This Viton -Extreme-ETP- sealing ma

terial is an interesting solution for users
with very high demands. The Vi 981
compound is multi-purposely applica
ble due to its good physical and excel
lent mechanical properties. Moreover,
the outstanding chemical resistance
of fluoric rubber is improved further by
the compound Vi 981. At the same time
heat resistance and low-temperature
flexibility persist.
This FKM compound was developed

for engineers and users, who at times
encounter great difficulties with elastomer
sealings exposed to biogenic media on a
long-term basis. Biogenic media are e.g.
ethanol, ethanol-carburettor fuel mixtures,
rapeseed methyl ester (RME, biodiesel
fuel), RME-diesel fuel mixture and pure
vegetable oils. Furthermore the FKM com
pound is highly applicable in conventional
fuels (carburettor fuels, diesel fuels) and
many other media - a really universally
applicable sealing compound all-rounder
to favourable conditions.

Materials for low temperature applications

Sealing materials used in cold environ
ments need to meet special require
ments. Even in these conditions the seal
ings used must possess the necessary
flexibility in order to seal properly. In the
field, users are confronted with various
different definitions, therefore compar
ing materials by different manufacturers
proves difficult. There are many differ
ent methods of measuring the material
properties at low-temperatures. The
methods usually disclose different

results of measurement. Therefore it
is important to choose the method
that gives accurate information on
the functional efficacy of sealings.
For this reason the COG mate
rial data regarding the application in
low-temperatures refers to the TR10
value (temperature retraction value),
unless specifically stated otherwise.
This value describes the behaviour
of a material in low temperatures. The

TR10 value is the temperature at which
an elastomer can recover 10% of its
elastomer potential. In certain applica
tions some materials can even be used
well below this value. Yet in order to
receive comparability and accuracy of
information the COG data is always in
reference to the TR10 value a reliable
and trustworthy indication for the user.

Materials for increased

mechanical strain
In certain applications the used elastomer sealings must

withstand mechanical strain. Not all elastomer materials are
equally suited for these fields of application. The materials
featured on this page all have good mechanical resistance.
Yet this does not mean they are generally applicable for all
dynamic sealing applications. First of all it has to be deter
mined how intense the mechanical strain is in the respective

application. Is the sealing in motion on the rare occasion or
on a regular or even constant basis? This criteria is only one
of many. To be on the safe side: why not consult our Applica
tion Technology team? Our engineers will be glad to assist
you in choosing the right material for your purposes.

PTFE materials and FEP-coated ORings
PTFE material
PTFE is a full fluoropoly
mer with an exceptionally
high melt viscosity. There
fore the thermic resistance is
tremendous even in continuous
operation over many thousand hours.
Additionally PTFE is nearly universally
resistant to chemicals. Even aggressive
acids such as aqua regia (nitrohydro
chloric acid) cannot corrode PTFE.
Moreover, PTFE has many further posi
tive qualities, such as excellent electrical
insulation and anti-adhesive behaviour,
good dry-running properties and low
heat conductivity. However, since PTFE
is a very hard an inelastic material, there
are restrictions in the applicability. Fur
thermore PTFE cannot be elongated a
fact to be considered on assembly.
FEP-encapsulated ORings
FEP-encapsulated ORings offer both:
very high resistance to a wide range of
media and simultaneously good elas
ticity. This is due to the 2-component
system of these ORings. FEP-encap
sulated ORings have an elastic core
made of FKM or Silicone (VMQ). Each
elastic core is coated with a thin skin
of FEP. This combination of excellent
resistance and good elasticity creates
a wider range of application. While
the ORing core offers the necessary
elasticity, the FEP-coating is resistant
to chemical media.
We deliver FEP- and PFA-coated ORings

as BLF-standard (Bleed Line Fee) without
PFA for
highest temperatures
In addition to FEP-coatings, COG also
offers PFA-coatings. PFA is nearly as
chemically resistant as PTFE and has the
same properties. Moreover PFA-coated
ORings may be exposed to higher tem
peratures than FEP-coated ORings,
even retaining its low-temperature flex
ibility.
In general we have FEP-coated ORings
with Silicone or FKM cores and core
sizes between 1,5 and 19 mm in stock.

Explosive decompression
Many manufacturers and operators in the oil

and gas industries as well as in the compressor
manufacturing business and in compressed
air conditioning have difficulties with explosive
decompression and its consequences, since
conventional elastomer sealings cannot with
stand the intense strain.
What happens during

explosive decompression?
In applications of the natural gas production,

such as e.g. pig traps, gate valves, ball cocks
and other regulating valves, the use of these
materials has proved successful in avoiding
damages to the sealings caused by explosive
decompression and consequently avoiding
costly leakages. Additionally this material has
been tried and tested in high pressure com
pressor construction and in endurance tests
carried out in oil production.
Great pressure causes gas to diffuse into the

sealing material. Is the pressure reduced,
the gas is emitted again. In case of
extremely sudden decompression the
gas is released in an explosive way
and the elastomer material is either
torn in various places or bubbles
form on the surface. In both cases
the sealing is damaged so badly that
it cannot seal properly anymore.
Conventional ORing materials are not
applicable under these circumstances,
as their resistance against such force
is not sufficient. The only elastomers that
can be used are those especially designed
with very good physical properties (e. g. high
resistance to increased tearing and module).

Properties
Materials for vacuum applications

In general every material emits gas, no matter what the ambi
ent pressure. However the emission rate generally increases
as the ambient pressure is reduced. The highest emission oc
curs in a vacuum, therefore the lower the emission, the better
the material is suited for applications in vacuum technology.

Sealing materials applied in this field must meet exceptionally
high demands. Our customers can choose from variety of tried
and tested materials for applications in vacuum technology.
For ORings with large inside diameter (min. 1.400 mm) we
recommend the endless vulcanization process (see p. 28).
Our experienced engineers from the Application Technology
department will gladly assist you in choosing the ideal mate
rial for your purposes.

Endless vulcanisation
Highest precision with large diameters too
At COG we employ a special production method to produce

precision ORings according to DIN 3771 with a length of up
to 3.000 mm, variable cord sizes and qualities of material.
In this special production method of endless vulcanisation
the vulcanisation process is carried out in a consistently
even and thorough way. ORings produced this way match
precision-ORings of smaller dimension produced with
conventional methods.
Compared to the conventional methods of manufacturing
special sized ORings, such as ORings with vulcanised or
glued joints, this method keeps tolerances to a minimum and
therefore grants very high precision. Its other big advantage
over conventional methods is that, due the consistency of
the vulcanisation the joints no longer bear a weakness. This
provides a more durable seal of considerably higher quality
in a variety of applications, e. g. also in high vacuum areas or
in gaseous media.
Advantages
Very tight dimension tolerances according to DIN 3771
Evenly sized cords throughout the ORing-perimeter
Very good surface quality
Low cost of tools compared to compression
moulded ORings
Any chosen inside diameter from approx. 1.400 mm

Not only ORings

Moulded parts
What many do not know is that in addition to our
core precision-ORing business, COG produces
moulded parts as well. The experience and ex
pertise we have gained over decades working
with elastomer seal compounds we also put into
the manufacturing of moulded parts. We can
produce rotationally symmetrical geometries
based on customer drawings from almost all
standard materials in lots of up to approx. 1,000
pieces. Our companys own tool design and
construction capability enables costeffective
production even for lowvolume orders. The

external diameter of the required moulded parts
