Max H-PUR

Max H-PUR raw-material for seal making

MAX H-PUR polyurethane sealing solutions

Explore our Max H-Pur polyurethane bushings and sealing materials, meticulously developed from a blend of high-grade chemical elements to surpass the evolving technical specifications in the sealing industry.

Our Max H-Pur range is tailored for superior mechanical and tribological performance, resistance to chemicals, hydrolysis, and exceptional thermal stability up to +150°C. These materials are characterized by their high tensile strength, superior wear resistance, low hysteresis, and remain flexible in low temperatures down to -25°C while maintaining a low compression set. The formula is enriched with specialized polymeric lubricants, enhancing self-lubrication, significantly reducing friction (µ < 0.2), and preventing the stick-slip effect, thereby offering better results than polyurethanes with solid lubricants like MoS2.

Max H-Pur sealing materials are ideal for a variety of demanding applications including oil hydraulic systems, subsea and natural water settings at elevated temperatures, sanitation processes within the food and beverage industry, handling of sour oils and gases in the oil and gas field, usage with flame retardant hydraulic fluids (HFA- HFB fluids in mining cylinders and hydraulic presses), and compatibility with biodegradable fluids such as vegetable oils and synthetic esters. Available in a spectrum of colors like red, green, blue, turquoise, natural, and dark grey, Max H-Pur is a staple for precision lathe-cut sealing.

Additionally, our red, blue, and natural hues of Max H-Pur meet the stringent FDA CFR 177.2600 standards for food contact, ensuring safety and compliance for food-grade applications.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Max H-Pur is a specially developed polyurethane system, scientifically formulated from a selection of highquality chemical components to meet the increasing technical demands in the sealing industry.

It has been optimised in terms of its mechanical and tribological properties, resistance to chemicals and hydrolysis and high temperature stability (+ 150°C). It has high tensile strength, very high wear resistance, low hysteresis, good flexibility at low temperatures (-25 °C) and a low compression-set. Special polymeric lubricants added to the formula ensure superior sliding properties (self-lubrication), significantly reduce friction (µ < 0.2) and prevent the stick-slip effect, thereby exceeding the performance of polyurethanes filled with solid lubricants (MoS2).

Max H-Pur shows excellent performance in oil hydraulic applications, in sub-sea and natural water applications at elevated temperatures, in cleaning processes in the food/beverage industry, in sour oils and gases in O&G industry, in flame retardant hydraulic fluids (HFA- HFB fluids in mining cylinders and hydr. presses), as well as in biological degradable fluids (vegetable oils and synthetic esters). It is made available in different colors – red, green, blue, turquoise, natural and dark grey – commonly used in the lathe-cut sealing industry.

Max H-Pur in red, blue and natural colour comply with the FDA CFR 177.2600 food standard.

Max H-Pur is approved by KTW and corresponds to FDA

In comparison with Pur, Max H-Pur has about the same mechanical properties and wear resistance. Breaking strain is very low (10% at 70°C/24h). The temperature rate: from -20°C up to +150°C.

The main difference between Max H-Pur and Pur, is a very high hydrolysis and chemical resistance of Max H-Pur, which is very unusual for polyurethanes.

Application

Max H-Pur is mainly used in those cases where among with the high resistance to mineral oils, hydrolysis and chemical resistance are required.
Operating practice of different seals shows that Max H-Pur has better wear resistance than the rubber elastomers (standard molding to a press-form) more than 8-15 times.
Max H-Pur has high hardness, so it has been used successfully for the seals, which are operated in a highly worn pairings at high pressure and must have a high resistance to extrusion.
There is a Certificate confirming Max H-Pur to be intended as a sealing material for the use in food processing machinery is in full compliance with FDA regulations.
