Professional O-Ring and Oil Seal Manufacturer, Sealing Solution Supplier Since 2008.
Virgin PTFE Spring Energized Seals
Premium Sealing Components for Corrosive and Harsh Operating Conditions
These are Virgin PTFE Spring Energized Seals. Constructed from virgin polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and equipped with spring energizers, they boast exceptional chemical resistance, capable of withstanding a wide range of corrosive media like strong acids, alkalis, and oxidants. With an ultra - low friction coefficient, they minimize wear between sealing surfaces, enhancing service life. The integrated springs provide continuous preload, ensuring tight sealing under varying conditions such as pressure fluctuations and temperature changes. Ideal for rotary and reciprocating motions, they deliver reliable performance in highly clean, corrosive, and other rigorous environments.

1. Product Advantages
Superior Chemical Resistance: Crafted from 100% virgin polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), the seal withstands aggressive media including strong acids (e.g., sulfuric acid), alkalis (e.g., sodium hydroxide), oxidants, and organic solvents—ideal for harsh chemical processing environments.
Low Friction & Longevity: Virgin PTFE’s inherent ultra-low friction coefficient (0.01-0.05) minimizes wear between the seal and mating surfaces, reducing maintenance frequency and extending service life by 30% compared to standard filled PTFE seals.
Stable Sealing Under Variable Conditions: Integrated high-performance springs (stainless steel 316L or Inconel) provide continuous preload, ensuring tight sealing even during pressure fluctuations (0-30 MPa) and temperature extremes (-200°C to +260°C).
High Purity: Virgin PTFE contains no fillers or impurities, making the seal suitable for high-purity applications (e.g., semiconductor manufacturing, pharmaceutical processing) where contamination must be avoided.
2. Working Principle
The seal operates on a “spring-energized” design:
The virgin PTFE outer jacket acts as the primary sealing element, forming a tight barrier against media when in contact with the mating surface.
When pressure or temperature changes cause slight gaps between the seal and the surface, the internal spring automatically expands or contracts to apply constant force to the PTFE jacket. This maintains consistent contact, preventing leakage and ensuring reliable sealing performance across dynamic
(rotary/reciprocating) or static applications.
3. Product Details
Material Composition: Virgin PTFE (outer jacket); Spring options: Stainless Steel 316L (standard), Inconel 718 (high-temperature), Hastelloy C276 (corrosion-resistant).
Standard Sizes: Inner diameter (ID): 5mm-500mm; Outer diameter (OD): 12mm-520mm; Custom sizes available for non-standard equipment.
Surface Finish: Smooth PTFE surface (Ra ≤ 0.8μm) to reduce friction and improve media compatibility.
Certifications: Compliant with FDA 21 CFR Part 177.1550 (food contact), RoHS, and REACH standards.
4. Application Range
Forever Seals’ Virgin PTFE Spring Energized Seals are widely used in:
Chemical & Petrochemical: Reactors, pumps, valves, and pipelines handling corrosive fluids.
Pharmaceutical & Biotech: High-purity fluid transfer systems, fermenters, and lyophilizers.
Semiconductor: Wafer processing equipment (acid baths, solvent cleaning).
Aerospace & Automotive: Hydraulic cylinders, fuel systems, and engine components (high-temperature resistance).
Food & Beverage: Processing tanks and pipelines (FDA-compliant, no contamination risk).
5. FAQ
Q1: What’s the difference between virgin PTFE and filled PTFE seals?
A1: Virgin PTFE has no additives, offering higher purity, better chemical resistance, and lower friction—critical for high-purity or aggressive environments. Filled PTFE (e.g., with glass fiber) improves rigidity but may introduce impurities or reduce chemical compatibility.
Q2: Can the seal be customized for my equipment?
A2: Yes. Forever Seals provides custom design services, including size adjustments, spring material upgrades, and PTFE jacket modifications, to match your specific application requirements (e.g., ultra-high pressure or extreme temperature).
Q3: How long is the typical service life of this seal?
A3: Under normal operating conditions (recommended pressure/temperature range), the seal lasts 2-5 years—depending on media type and usage frequency. Forever Seals offers a 1-year warranty for manufacturing defects.
