Low aromatization, chemical resistance, and long service life
Beveragesfoods, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics are essential to our daily
lives. In these familiar fields, our products also play an active role in their manufacturing
processes.Seals must be resistant to a wide variety of chemicals, as damage to the seals can lead
directly to contamination of
fluids. We offer a variety of materials and seal designs to ensure the safety and peace of mind of
our customers.
Beverage/ FoodBy focusing on low aromatization, chemical
resistance, and long service life,we contribute to the safety and quality
improvement of beverages and foods that are indispensable in our daily lives.
Pharmaceuticals/ CosmeticsBy focusing on low aromatization,
chemical resistance, and long service life, we contribute to the production of
pharmaceuticals and cosmetics, which require high reliability.

Introduction of Mitsubishi Cable Products
Extensive range of proprietary materials
Mitsubishi Cable provides proprietary materials that combine low
aromatization, high chemical resistance, good sealing
and wear resistance.
Long service life
Compared with conventional O-rings, new O-rings have a longer service life,
reducing maintenance cycles.
Medical devices must be highly safe and reliable. We have earned a reputation
for offering products that take advantage of a wide range of materials and
unique shape
designs.

High-performance FKM Series
We have developed compound numbers 13B9-70 and 13B1-75, high-performance FKM materials
that contribute to improved
chemical resistance, low aromatization, sealing performance, and wear resistance.
Applications: Sanitary valves, beverage filling machines, etc.
Chemical Resistance (Limonene)
CAP SEAL for Rotation
ExampleExample
Application:Used in rotating parts in aseptic fillers for beverage filling
machines, etc.
Benefits of use:Compared with conventional O-rings, new O-rings have a
longer service life, contributing to reduced maintenance cycles. The seal groove for
conventional O-rings can be used without modification. Sliding parts can be selected
according to the application, including PTFE with filler. For rubber parts, the
adoption of 13B9-70, a low aromatizing FKM for beverage applications, is increasing.

FKM, etc., according to the operating environment.
Heat resistance:-40 to +80°C (depending on material)
Pressure resistance:For rotational use up to 4.9 MPa without backup ring.
SUNFLON® U Seal
ExampleExample
Applications:Used for sliding shafts in dialysis machine pumps
Benefits of
use:Excellent wear resistance and chemical resistance, contributing to use
in areas where rubber seals cannot be used or
where cleanliness is required, and extending service life. It can also be used for
gases and vapors for which lubrication is not likely.

Medical Cap Seals
ExampleExample
Applications:Used for sliding shafts in dialysis machine pumps
Benefits of
use:Sealed systems are very important for medical devices. Compared to
conventional O-rings, sliding resistance during operation is lower and life is
longer. In addition, the starting resistance remains almost unchanged and sealing
can be maintained even after a long period of
inactivity.

Case
StudyKalrez® Tubes
ExampleExample
Application:Beverage filling machine hoses
Benefits of use:The excellent low aromatizing property reduces the cleaning
time necessary to remove fragrance adsorption when switching
beverages, as well as tube replacement frequency. In addition, its excellent
chemical resistance and resistance to cleaning fluids has potential for extending
its service
life, reducing maintenance costs compared to general-purpose rubber tubing. It is
also effective in combination with CIP cleaning systems. It can be customized with
cloth or other materials according to the conditions of use.

O-rings
ExampleExample
Application:Pipes, tanks, filters, etc., for beverage production lines
Benefits of
use:With low aromatization and excellent chemical resistance, odor transfer
problems and chemical-induced packing
deterioration are prevented, thereby contributing to reduced replacement frequency
and improved product quality. In addition to standard sizes, we can also accommodate
special sizes such as larger diameters. We can propose materials with specifications
that match the application and operating environment.

Case
StudyKalrez® Parts
The material has very low fragrance compared to EPDM and silicone, which are standard in
beverage and pharmaceutical
production lines.
It exhibits the same low aromatization level as Teflon.
In addition, EPDM and silicone deteriorate when exposed to cleaning and product fluids,
which can lead to defects such
as foreign matter and leakage.
Kalrez® Parts exhibit stability to all chemicals, thus reducing the occurrence of such
surface degradation.
Odor Intensity Comparison
Chemical Resistance of Kalrez®
Kalrez® parts do not suffer from surface embrittlement or deterioration,
thereby reducing the risk of foreign material
contamination.
