Chemical Processing Seals, Gaskets and Spares

Plants that blend, react or transfer chemicals face a mix of corrosion, permeation and swelling risks. Typical problem areas include:

• Dosing and transfer pumps handling acids, caustic soda or hypochlorite
• Rubber-lined and plastic pipework where flange gaskets must not damage soft faces
• Agitators and reactors where shaft seals meet vapours and crystallising product
• Valves in corrosive service where stem packing and seats wear quickly
• Storage and loading areas where hoses and fittings must resist the product

These product families are commonly enquired about in this sector. Open any page for sizes, materials and buying options.

• PTFE gaskets and seals: PTFE gaskets and seals suited to many corrosive media.
• Rubber gaskets and elastomer products: Rubber gaskets and elastomer products in several compounds.
• Metric O-rings: Metric O-rings for fittings, pumps and valves.
• Mechanical seals: Mechanical seals for chemical transfer pumps.
• Hoses and fittings: Hoses and fittings for fluid handling.

There is no single chemical-proof seal material. PTFE is typically broad in chemical resistance, EPDM tends to suit many alkalis and some acids, and FKM is often used with oils and many acids, but each has exceptions. Treat this as general orientation and confirm against the manufacturer's chemical resistance charts. For mixed, strong oxidising or unusual media, request technical review.

Information that speeds up a correct recommendation:

• Chemical name, strength and temperature
• Whether exposure is continuous, splash or cleaning only
• Pump, valve or flange details and dimensions
• Quantity required and whether this is a one-off or repeat item

Photos of the failed part help us see how it degraded, which often points to the real cause. Add the chemical details and the equipment data, and we can discuss options. Our guide to common causes of seal failure may also help your team.

If you are unsure what you have, start with find my seal, upload a drawing, or read about our technical support.

Chemical plants often hold many small, varied seal sizes. We can quote kits and lists in one request, and you can ask about supply agreements for repeat lines. Documentation needs and lead times are confirmed per enquiry.

Globseals offers three ways to buy: buy online where a confirmed price is shown, request a quote for custom, bulk or unpriced items, or ask for technical review when identification is unresolved. Call 011 079 6033, WhatsApp 079 508 0989 or email info@globseals.com.
