Innovations in High-Performance Plastics - The Leading Comprehensive Range in PTFE

Innovations in high-performance plastics – for over 40 years, ElringKlinger Kunststofftechnik has been one of the technology leaders for seals and engineering design elements. For our customers around the world, we develop and produce individual, market-driven solutions from high-performance plastics such as PTFE, PTFE compounds and PTFE composites. Our solutions meet the toughest demands to be found in the field – with economy and reliability guaranteed.

Many years of application and processing know-how in virtually all sectors if industry and an extensive, modern machine pool are the basis we draw on to manufacture miniature components as well as seals with 3,000 mm diameters, for single-part as well as large-volume production requirements. Our commitment to high quality and environmental protection are central elements of our corporate policy, reflected in certifications according to ISO/TS 16949 and DIN EN SIO 14001.

The Next Dimension – Moldflon®

The combination of PTFE’s unique material properties and degrees of freedom with the economy resulting from melt-based manufacturing processes such as injection-moulding, gibes ElringKlinger Kunststofftechnik a leading edge in its field yet again. Moldflon® clearly expands the application range of previously used fluoro-thermoplastics while offering the same profile of material properties as PTFE. This significantly broadens the processing spectrum and product range for the benefit of our customers.

• Shaft seals with PTFE sealing lip
  Preferably used for sealing rotary shafts. Also suitable for use in dry operating conditions and with extremely high temperatures.
• Piston rings and guiding elements
  For dry-running compressors. Exceptionally low coefficient of friction when combined with metals – even without lubrication.
• Spring-energised seals
  For sealing reciprocating pistons and rods as well as for rotary and swivelling applications. Outstanding chemical resistance to aggressive media.
• Memory packings
  For sealing reciprocating pistons and rods. For applications involving high temperatures. No stick-slip effect.
• Bellows
  Chemically resistant. Wide temperature range from -60°C to +200°C. Also suitable for use in medical and food industry applications.
• Diaphragms
  From pure PTFE or as PTFE composite diaphragm versions. Chemically and thermally resistant, optimised for high alternating bending properties even under pressure.
• PTFE design elements
  Application-specific solutions available also in large dimensions of up to 3,000 mm diameter and length. Manufacturing technology: hydraulic and isostatic compression-moulding, milling, welding, cutting.
• PTFE tubings
  Used in medical technology and general industrial applications. Chemically resistant to hot vapours. Service temperature range from -200°C to +260°C. Unfilled PTFE-physiologically neutral (FDA approved).
• Porous PTFE
  Used for separating gases, vapours and fluids, as films/sheets, filter elements and diaphragms.
• Porous PTFE
  For optical applications such as Ulbricht integrating spheres, Lambert reflectors, projection screens and fluorescence standards.
• Laminate PTFE composites
  Reinforced PTFE achieved through composites with fabrics, fibres and films. Typical materials of this type include ceramics, metal, glass, elastomer and other high-performance plastics.
• Semi-finished products
  Semi-finished products from PTFE available as rods, plates, disks/rondes and films/sheets.
