Teflon® Encapsulated Gaskets for Cam Lock Couplings
Food, Pharma, and Chemical Processing
Encapsulated Cam Lock Gaskets
M-Cor Inc. manufactures silicone and Viton™/FKM encapsulated cam and groove coupler gaskets for corrosive chemical transport hose applications. These gaskets are designed to replace standard Viton™, Buna, or EPDM gaskets when greater chemical resistance, cleanliness, and sealing reliability are required.
M-Cor’s Encapsulated Cam Lock Gaskets use an elastomer core, such as silicone, FKM, or EPDM, with a PTFE-based encapsulation. This construction helps protect the core from chemical attack while maintaining the resilience needed for sealing pressure.
Key Features
- High chemical resistance
- Wide temperature range: -60°C to +205°C
- Low coefficient of friction for a non-stick surface
- Sterilizable design for sanitary applications
- FDA and USP Class VI compliant encapsulation where applicable
- Reduced compression set compared with many standard gasket materials
Why Use Encapsulated Cam Lock Gaskets?
In harsh chemical service, standard gaskets can degrade, swell, crack, or lose sealing force. M-Cor’s encapsulated gaskets help reduce premature seal failure by protecting the elastomer core from direct chemical exposure.
The elastomer core provides sealing force, while the PTFE-based encapsulation provides chemical resistance and a clean, non-stick sealing surface. This makes the gasket useful in applications where corrosive fluids, solvents, or aggressive cleaning processes are present.
Common Applications
M-Cor Encapsulated Cam Lock Gaskets are commonly used in:
- Chemical transfer hose couplers
- Food and beverage processing
- Pharmaceutical and bioprocessing systems
- Chemical processing plants
- Storage tanks, pipelines, and reactors
- Oil, gas, refinery, and petrochemical applications
In chemical transport systems, these gaskets help seal cam and groove couplers used to transfer aggressive chemicals, solvents, and hazardous materials. In food and pharmaceutical applications, the non-reactive encapsulated surface helps reduce contamination risk and supports sanitary processing.
M-Cor Advantage
M-Cor’s encapsulated gasket design combines chemical resistance, sealing force, and durability in one product. The PTFE-based encapsulation acts as a protective barrier, while the elastomer core supports compression and recovery.
For applications where safety, cleanliness, and chemical resistance matter, M-Cor Inc.’s encapsulated cam lock gaskets provide a practical sealing solution for demanding industrial environments.
