Kalrez® (Trade name of DuPont) is made from a Perfluoroelastomer
possessing exceptional resistance to degradation by aggressive
fluids and gases. Kalrez® combines the high temperature
resistance of Fluorocarbon Elastomer (such as Viton®),
with the chemical inertness of Teflon®. Kalrez®
provides long term service in virtually all chemical and
petrochemical process streams. Kalrez® parts are offered
in several compounds with varying tensile, elongation, hardness,
compression set and temperature range. Kalrez® is used
for sever chemical exposure and high temperatures. Used
in oil exploration and refining for chemical processing
and transportation.
Because of its high cost Kalrez® is generally used when
no other elastomer is appropriate.
Kalrez® should not be exposed to molten or gaseous alkali
metals (sodium). It also can significantly swell upon exposure
to some fluorinated solvents, fully halogenated freons,
and uranium hexafluoride.
