Labyrinth Seal

Labyrinth Seal

Greene Tweed’s Arlon® 4020 labyrinth seals deliver superior performance by combining custom-engineered tooth designs and high-performance thermoplastic materials. Arlon® 4020’s excellent tribological properties reduce friction and wear during contact, eliminating gall to extend seal life. The material’s enhanced corrosion and erosion resistance make it ideally suited to severe sealing applications. The superior thermal expansion of Arlon® 4020 allows for tight clearances at operating temperatures increasing efficiency and reliability for longer run times

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
