**NEW** Metal Detectable O-Rings/Material
E-Components & Chains/Detectamet Limited are pleased to announce the launch of their **New** range of Detectamet Metal Detectable O-Rings specifically developed to meet the stringent demands of the food and pharmaceutical industries. The New Detectamet Metal Detectable range of O-Rings includes FDA compliant grades of EPDM, Niitrile and Fluorocarbon (FKM) compounds.
Available in blue, white and black, Detectamet **NEW** Metal Detectable O-Rings have been tested and proven in use at leading food and pharmaceutical manufacturing / processing plants.
Fragments of Detectamet as small as 2mm can be identified by metal detector equipment.

Material Options / Specification:
FKM elastomers are highly fluorinated polymers containing few compounding ingredients. They are stable at very high temperatures (they can withstand 200°C / 400°F indefinitely, in service). By comparison, conventional elastomers would become brittle in 24 hours at this temperature, in air. FKM vulcanisates, in general, have outstanding resistance to oxygen, ozone, weather, flame and oxidative chemicals, and excellent resistance to swelling in a wide variety of media. However, they are not compatible with polar solvents (e.g. M.E.K.), some organic acids (e.g. Formic acid), hot water and steam (unless compounded with lead oxide), certain methanol and ester based hydraulic fluids (e.g. Skydrol), ammonia and some amines. They are suitable in high-energy radiation environments up to about 106 Rads.
FKM elastomers provide high compression set resistance if compounded with bisphenol cure systems. They are serviceable down to –20°C only in dynamic applications, but can provide effective static sealing to –40°C. Electrical insulation properties are not particularly outstanding, but would be adequate for sheathing where elevated temperatures, ozone, chemical and flame resistance are required (e.g. shaft seals, O-rings and gaskets, diaphragms and cable sheathing).
NBR elastomers are available in five basic grades; based on acrylonitrile content, giving proportional physical and chemical properties. NBR’s typically have (depending on increased ACN content), decreasing low temperature flexibility, increasing compression set, gas permeability, improved heat ageing and ozone resistance, improved tensile and abrasion strength, hardness and density. NBR’s are used where good resistance is required, to aromatic hydrocarbons at –40 to +120°C (e.g. gaskets and seals, hoses and cable jacketing), typically in the oil and gas industry.
Both EPM and EPDM elastomers have the same physical properties; a fair tensile strength and excellent resistance to weathering and ozone, and chemical attack. They also exhibit excellent electrical insulation properties. Peroxide cured elastomers exhibit excellent heat ageing, and resistance to compression set from –40 to +150°C, more so if sulphur cured. They are resistant to a wide range of media, including hot water and steam to 200°C (in the absence of air), but are not considered compatible with mineral and synthetic lubricants, and hydrocarbon fuels. They are typically used in the production of window and door seals, wire and cable insulations, waterproofing sheets and hoses, and seals, O-rings and gaskets.
E-Components & Chains are confident the New Detectamet O-Rings will contribute to their fast ever growing range of Detectable Products constantly being used and specified by some of the worlds leading food and pharmaceutical manufacturing / processing industries.
