This information was compiled from information provided by material suppliers and manufacturers. The compatibility listings are intended as a guide only. We assume no liability for their accuracy on their use. The user should test under their own operating conditions to determine the suitability of any compound and material in a particular application. 20887Txt:43077 5/12/08 8:36 AM Page 1 20887Txt:43077 5/12/08 8:36 AM Page 1 THERMOPLASTIC ELASTOMERS (TPE’s) verses THERMOSETTING RUBBER DIAPHRAGMS Aro’s direction has been to move toward replacement of traditional thermoset rubber diaphragms with thermoplastic elastomers (TPE). Examples of TPE’s include: Santoprene, Nitrile (TPE) and Hytrel. TPE’s are manufactured using a plastic injection molding process where the resin, or diaphragm material, is melted and injected into a mold to produce the diaphragm. The advantages of this process includes: Features Benefits Diaphragm is molded to optimum shape Excellent flex life Homogenous part No delamination failures High performance resins Chemical, abrasion and flex life Injection molded/tight process control Low cost/consistent performance Laboratory testing has shown: Injection Mold Process Santoprene outperformed all rubber diaphragms except Buna in the mild abrasive fluids. Molded Diaphragm The Geolast diaphragm had equivalent life to the Buna diaphragms and was superior to the other rubbers compounds. 1 Teflon with the Santoprene backer exhibited the best flex life of all diaphragms during the test series.
