Optimal sealing materials for papermaking

Seals in papermaking

In the paper industry, the selection of suitable seals is essential to ensure efficient operations and reduce downtime. Key factors to consider include abrasion resistance, chemical compatibility and temperature tolerance. Due to the presence of abrasive particles in the paper pulp, seals must be able to withstand wear. Chemical resistance is essential as the seals often come into contact with various process chemicals such as bleach and alkaline solutions. Temperature resistance is another important factor because the seals must withstand the heat generated during the papermaking process.
