티에스에스(Trelleborg Sealing Solutions)는 미국수질협회(WQA, Water Quality Association)의 2016년 컨벤션 및 박람회에서 새로운 EPDM(Ethylene Propylene Diene Rubber) 의 복합체인 Turel E7Y30에 대한 쇼케이스를 선보일 예정이라고 밝혔다.

 

이번 밀봉재(sealing material)는 특히 음용수에 관한 NSF/ANSI 61를 충족시키고 효과적인 제공 및 자동 조립이 가능하도록 설계되었다. Turel E7Y30은 70듀로미터의 경도로 동 조립 공정에서 높은 신장도에 대한 잠재적 피해를 방지하고 마찰의 감소를 제공을 통해 연마 마모를 감소시켜 수명주기를 증진시킨다.

 

 

 

Trelleborg Sealing Solutions will showcase its new Ethylene Propylene Diene Rubber (EPDM) compound, Turel E7Y30 at the WQA (Water Quality Association) Convention and Expo 2016 (Booth 1035). This sealing material has been specifically engineered to meet global potable water regulations NSF/ANSI 61 and to provide effective, automated assembly of seals.

 

Turel® E7Y30, with a hardness of 70 durometers, avoids the potential issue of high elongation in automated assembly processes and provides reduced friction, which leads to reduced abrasive wear and increased life. The material has been tested and approved for joining and sealing materials that come into contact with drinking water, meeting global regulation NSF/ANSI 61 Section 6. It has also been tested and approved for installation in end-point devices intended to dispense water for human ingestion (NSF/ANSI 61 Section 9).

 

Thijs Menzel, Market Research Director and Food, Beverage & Water Segment Manager at Trelleborg Sealing Solutions, says: "As a leading global company, Trelleborg is proud to leverage its decades of expertise in the development of new materials that meet wide-ranging standards and global regulations. Our customers put their trust in Trelleborg because of our reputation and ability to deliver on our customers' requirements."

 

Turel® E7Y30 is an ideal material for products manufactured using automated assembly methods in end-use potable water applications such as faucets, valves, water heaters, ice makers, pumps, filters, meters, and fittings. The compound has excellent chloramine and chlorine resistance and can be supplied in various seal types, such as O-Rings, square rings, and gaskets.

 

The new material complements the extensive range of Trelleborg seals and components engineered to meet stringent standards and regulations for food, beverage and pharmaceutical systems, such as those issued by NSF International, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the United States Pharmacopoeia (USP), 3A and the European Union.
