Arlon® 4020

Energy, Industrial Operations, Life Sciences

Greene Tweed’s Arlon® 4020 labyrinth seals deliver superior performance by combining custom-engineered tooth designs and high-performance thermoplastic materials. Our solution incorporates a tooth profile with outstanding dimensional stability, allowing for a cyclic flex-and-return motion to withstand contact during critical speeds. This allows for tighter clearances, dramatically increasing efficiency and reliability for longer run times. The engineered tooth profile also creates a more controlled flow pattern, further increasing efficiency by encouraging vortex generation and reducing carry-over media that can bypass chambers – especially in high-velocity applications

Features & Benefits

Flexible tooth profile delivers tight running clearances for increased efficiency
Reduced tooth contact loading eliminates permanent deformation for extended seal life and reduced maintenance costs
Engineered tooth design reduces mass flow rate to enhance sealing performance and increase efficiency
Enhanced corrosion and erosion resistance delivers exceptional performance in severe applications, including high-mercury or high-velocity media
Optimized thermal expansion allows for retrofit and like-for-like replacement of conventional metallic designs
Increased efficiency delivers energy savings and a reduced spatial footprint for dramatic cost savings and environmental benefits

Applications

Labyrinth seals for centrifugal compressors and dry gas
seals in:

Oil and gas production
Air separation plants
Chemical industry
