Japan · AIST: Sales of long life, high heat resistance and high pressure O-rings – World’s first commercialization
– World’s first single-walled carbon nanotube applied products mass-produced by the Super Growth method –
point
- Practical use of heat-resistant O-ring containing single-wall carbon nanotube
- Significantly improved compression set which is a measure of long-term sealing
- Longer life expectancy is expected to reduce frequency of replacement under high temperature / high pressure environment and to replace metal seals
- Metal seal members such as automobiles and aircraft have been required to be replaced with lightweight materials from the viewpoint of energy saving.
