Gasket silicone for butterfly valves welded (VMQ)
Important: This seals are designed exactly for INDCOM butterfly valves. If you have butterfly valves from another manufacturer, it is very likely that our gasket will not fit.
Basic information
VMQ silicone rubbers work great in heat-intensive applications and, due to their purity, are particularly suitable for hygienic applications in the food, beverage and pharmaceutical industries. Due to its excellent physiological properties, silicone is a proven sealing material, especially for flap seals. Due to small volume changes of VMQ and due to its high elasticity, the damper works reliably until the end of its service life. VMQ is advantageous in applications for the production of food, beverages, and preparations for less aggressive media. It is necessary to point out the maximum limits with regard to mechanical strength and cleaning processes.
