Max XH-PUR

Color – yellow XH-PUR material

Max XH-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 XH-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 – yellow and dark grey – commonly used in the lathe-cut sealing industry.

Due to its excellent extrusion resistance, allowing larger sealing gaps at higher application temperatures, superior sliding properties and reduced stick-slip it is mainly used for elastomer energized composite seals.

High hardness of a material promotes its excellent stability to extrusion

XH-Pur is highly resistant to ozone, weather impact and temperatures. As well as H-Pur, this material is very recommended for usage in tropical regions. Swelling in mineral oils is low. XH-Pur has the same high resistance to radiation exposure and gas permeability as H-Pur.

Application

XH-Pur is used as alternative to material PTFE in the combined sealing systems, consisting of two elements – a sliding ring (PTFE) and elastic O-Ring (NBR). The sliding ring out of XH-Pur, unlike PTFE, can be installed easily and quickly without application of special instruments and techniques.
XH-Pur with heightened hardness has excellent extrusion stability and can be used as a material for the seals fixed in strongly worn out gears and at very high pressure
